10/10 Excellent

Excellent location! Very friendly staff! The parking is tight but very doable and they are very accommodating with it. The garden and the rooftop are added bonuses. The rooms aren’t anything special but they are clean and comfortable. The hotel is very Sam Francisco and quaint. I enjoyed it very much.

8/10 Good

This was a great location for our trip! We really enjoyed the rooftop patio, and with our room placement, we were able to watch the 4th of July fireworks without having to leave our room! We did have a little trouble with our key cards, but it wasn't a terrible inconvenience.
Gina, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The property was in a good location. It was safe and room was big. The property seems a little old, but it was ok. The bathroom was a bit small but but it has the necessary. As to parking there is little parking we chose not to take out our car to avoid losing our spot, and just ubered and walked.
Andrea, 3-night trip

Very good location to visit SF tourist areas while avoiding crowd. Local and hop on busses are right outside the hotel. Safeway is 15 min walk. The hotel itself is old and amenities quite dated, however room service is provided every day. Front desk staff are also very helpful.

6/10 Okay

Cleanliness and availability attracted us to this place. I didn’t like the checkout however. Over the computer screen with some person working remotely sharing my information loudly over a computer screen.
Kenya, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

We arrived at hotel is late. Trying to find a pace to eat, however, we walked a mile only saw few limited small cafes. We didn't want to drive because it only has limited parking space. Don't want to lost parking spot. And the bed isn't comfortable either.
