The best place to be is the Wharf area for site-seeing (Pier 39 area specificially). Check out tripadvisor.com for reviews of hotels in the area. I'm staying at the Wharf Holiday Inn Express (it sounds odd, but it's one of the best reviewed hotels, actually!) when I arrive on Thursday with my GF, and I'm staying there all week. The cable car lines start at the wharf and end at the Moscone Center. I'll commute every day by cable car.
The downtown area where the Moscone Center is, is a bad location to set base for actually being a tourist in San Francisco.
