My mother and I stayed here for 2 nights at the beginning of our trip through california. Front desk staff were polite, helpful and timely. They have on site parking, but keep in mind there are limited spots. We arrived on a monday right at check in and there were plenty available. Secure and clean premises. We felt completely safe. The room was very nice and clean. Everything in working order, including coffee maker. Ours was room 207, overlooking the street. It does get very noisey, but we preffered that, and drowned out most of it with the A/C unit. Its only a short jog to tons of restaurants, the trolley path, and the piers. I highly emjoyed and recommend their 3rd floor patio area overlooking the city and view of the golden gate bridge. Thank you for a great experience!

The staff were polite and accommodating to the best of their ability. The room I had was on the 1st floor and facing the street, I heard every car, truck, emergency vehicle and conversation that went by. If you’re a light sleeper you should ask for a room towards the back when booking. The curtains in my room for not completely close on the ends so you could see up into the room from the street ( yes I went outside and looked) so I had to pin the curtain to the wall. Other than that it was a nice clean room with a comfy bed in a good location. Parking is 1st come 1st serve so get there early.

Enjoyable stay

Enjoyed our stay! The staff are all kind and helpful. We enjoyed the sitting area on the 3rd floor near our room as well as the outdoor terrace. Our room was clean. We had a refrigerator but not a microwave. There was a coffee maker but we did not use it. They gave us a discount card for a coffee shop down the road which was cute and very good. The beds were quite firm which for me wasn’t the most comfortable but that just comes down to preference. I would definitely stay again.
