    Lights in bathroom had a timer and kept turning off on us. Some instructions on how to control this would be helpful.

    Lovely bed and breakfast. Room is very attractive and bathroom has a great electric bidet. Snack and coffee, tea available all day. Cute little lounge where we met lots of nice people. Breakfast was hot eggs and choice of meats and breads, cereals etc. bread products were not great and it would be nice to have waffles or pancakes available when you are staying more than a couple of days. But overall, good and convenient.

    The breakfast buffet was the same every day.

    Our room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. They have clearly invested in some pretty great soundproofing. The mattress was also super comfortable…those combined with the light blocking shades meant the best sleep of my life. The room was small but had everything you’d need. Bathroom was well appointed and generously sized. There are lots of restaurants within walking distance, along with an amazing park (The Presidio). We also took advantage of the many bus lines that run within blocks of the B&B; getting around SFO was so easy. If you are dieting, beware!!! These folks lay a mean 24/7 all you can eat CHOCOLATE BUFFET. And homemade cookies. It truly tested my willpower; this was the good stuff (ie Ghirardelli). Breakfast was always tasty; Wi-Fi was super fast.

    Really, nothing.

    It's easy to feel like home at the Monte Cristo Bed & Breakfast. The room I stayed in was very nice, furnished with antique and beautiful furnitures. Bed is super comfortable. The bathroom is vast and has probably been renovated recently. The hotel is small and the staff is friendly and helpful, and even offered some space for me to store my bike when I was not using it. Delicious homemade breakfast, papers are available in the breakfast area, and cookies and fruits are available all the time. In one word: GREAT! :)

    The breakfast experience was a bit disappointing. I am used to lavish and varied breakfasts and our were the same. Also, we had several experiences of our written requests being misinterpreted (maybe pencil was too light?).

    The room, the bathroom, the location were great!

    There is no way to open a window, so it gets a bit stuffy.

    You really feel that you live in that old house at Sam Francisco. Exciting! You can pick your breakfast which is generally good

    2 comments, but neither are actually bad reviews. (1) I brought my car, and there was no formal parking. However, I found immediate and plentiful street parking just across the street. And (2) my partner thought the breakfast scrambled eggs were too cheesy. However, I thought that made the dish better. So this is more of a personal preference thing. Overall, I don't have actually negative comments.

    Our stay was wonderful! My partner and I had only 1 day off from work together and wanted to make the most of it. During our stay at Monte Cristo, we felt as refreshed as we would have after many days off. We felt pampered and taken care of.

    The location was not as nice as I was hoping it would be. Shopping was 3 blocks away and restaurants required getting in the car.

    The interior was charming. The service was great. We needed to refrigerate some things so they brought a small refrigerator to our room. the people were friendly and helpful.
