What's your budget?

My budget is upto about $200-$250 a night. Just wondering if its better in union square or down fishermans wharf. Someone suggested the sheraton?

There's a lot of options for that budget. I'd personally recommend: The Orchard Hotel, The Donatello, and The Chancellor Hotel. I've stayed at all three before and enjoyed my stay at each of them. They're all located in Union Square, close to restaurants, shopping, cable cars, clubs, bars, lounges, and chinatown. The Chancellor Hotel has the best location in Union Square. The Orchard Hotel is in a ritzy part of Union Square. The Donatello is a block from the heart of Union Square, but has the nicest rooms out of the three. Check their prices and photos, you can't go wrong with any of them. I'd definetly stay in Union Square vs. Fisherman's Wharf. 95% of Fisherman's Wharf caters to tourist, so it's souveneir shop after another. It's a nice area to visit for a couple hours or half the day, but Union Square has more to offer.
