Overall, it's good bang for the buck. Old but kept well. Only issue, my shower drain was slow to drain, needed a snake down it. Great location. Just make sure and ask for a room away from busy road that runs in front.

Good location, walking distance to GG Bridge and Fisherman’s Wharf, free indoor parking, clean, comfortable. The bar next door had some noise late into the night, not the hotel’s fault. Safe location. Mel’s Drive-in down the street had excellent food.

Charming, Comfortable, and FREE secure parking
Loved the comfort of free gated underground parking garage with stay as well as the security of only having access to garage and elevator to rooms by room key. The bathroom was larger than expected and the room was very cute with the windows. Beds were very comfortable and loaded with pillows. Can add a refrigerator to your room for $5, so highly recommend! The only down side was the noise from the nightlife right next door, but as we were staying for a festival it didn’t disturb our sleep. Will definitely keep this in mind for future stays near Cow Hollow.

The toilet was out of order. The hotel management ignored my complaints. At checkout, I was refused to get the receipt. The worst hotel I have ever stayed.
