Creator's Key Takeaways

It's one of the best hotel beds other than a cruise ship bed that we've stayed in.

Probably I wouldn't be feeling too safe walking alone around here at night.

We've not had any issues. We've not had anybody bother us or disturb us.

I think you just need to be prepared and know that, you know, there are unusual people around.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Don't go to the exits in front of you when coming out of Powell Street station because there are some dodgy people there.
✓Don't make eye contact with people on the street and keep walking.
✓Use the vending machines on the mezzanine level for reasonably priced water and snacks instead of paying $4 for bottled water in the room.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Safety in the neighborhood — Be sensible, aware of surroundings, and prepared for the presence of homeless and drug-affected individuals.
Navigating public transit from the airport — Take the BART train from the international terminal; it's easy and takes about 25 minutes.
Paying for water — Don't pay $4 for bottled water in the room; use the vending machines on the mezzanine level.
