Wonderful experience. Wonderful room and staff. Clean and well appointed. One of the best locations in The City, only a block to Alamo Square and the Painted Ladies. Easy walk to Hayes Valley, and the Castro. And access to the 22,5,6,7 busses. Great place to be and awesome place to stay.

Perfect place to stay in San Francisco. The area is very walkable with the Alamo Square Park right up the street, and Hayes Valley down the street with a quaint community to shop and dine. Staff greeted us immediately and was very helpful in getting us settled in to the room. Room was very clean and comfortable with a mini fridge and coffee maker. The lobby area is a shared space which can be utilized from 9am to 5pm. Much more intimate than a sterile hotel in mid-city. Highly recommend.

Old and worn property. very loud street. Drab and depressing with dirty windows, contributing to dingy atmosphere. Lobby is furnished like a bus station - burned out light bulbs in lights in entry way. Just a bad experience..Couldn’t wait to check out.

We had a great time staying at the Grove! The area was phenomenal with a lot of great walking areas, neighborhoods, restaurants, and bars. The only thing that was inconvenient was that our water pressure in the shower was nonexistent. It was at a very slow drip, which made it hard to use.

Great location

We loved this location, walking distance from the Painted Ladies, Alamo Square park, and restaurants. We had no problem finding street parking within 1 block of the property. The place was like staying in a private residence, very cozy and clean. We will go back.
