Such a great property to stay at. We kept our vehicle safely parked for a couple of days while we checked out San Francisco. The virtual check in lady was so great, I wasn’t sure if she was AI at first and she had a good chuckle with me. We will stay here again when we come back.

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!
