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.

We visited to the whole tourists thing in the area. Three adults and 4 kids age 10,8,7,and 6. We walked everywhere not having to get rides to go anywhere. Also, we took the bus tour and there is a stop right outside the front door of this place. Staff was all friendly and we will stay here the next time we go back!

Room was very clean and mattress was comfortable. The place could use some freshening as it is dated. Parking can be an issue as there are limited spaces. Also not a lot of late night options for food in the area. Staff was also very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again.

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.

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.

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.
