Winsor Hotel

Dirty, run down hotel in a very unsafe SF area. I picked this hotel because it was within walking distance to the central meeting and business SF area. The price was well over $200/night and it was a total ripoff. The area is just off the main commercial street (Market St.) but unfortunately The homeless cram every nook and cranny on the streets, with continuous brawls every night until 5 am in the morning. Very risky to get to the hotel door, and you need to wait there to be opened from the inside (sometimes it took several minutes). I left the hotel in despair early to room with a colleague from our meeting. A total waste of money and a real bad experience in SF. As a final note, I am European and I would be ashamed to live in a city like this. How could people live in one of the richest city of the world among so much inequality and poverty? I guess SF citizens lost pride in their city long ago. Too bad. From abroad, SF is perceived as a fun and nice city.
