"Traveling with my 12 year old granddaughter, I was most pleased with the reception we received, complete with enthusiastic suggestions on activities and restaurants. Although small, the lobby provided the big coffee table where we could play a game and watch other guests as there was not space in our room. Loved the location!"

"Nice lobby. Friendly and professional staff. Clean, comfortable room. Great location. If you’re a walker you can start at the hotel and do a great urban hike around north SF which IMHO is the best part - Marina, Presidio, Pacific Heights, the wharf, Chrissy Beach, Lands End, etc, and grab a $20 sundae at Ghirardelli when you’re done.
