Fantastic experience! The room was freshly renovated and everything was super clean and comfortable. Easy check-in and check-out, great parking, and convenient location that’s away from the overly touristy areas but still easy to access all of the city. Highly recommend!

We got a room in the last minute because the airbnb place we booked turned out to be unsafe to live in. The front desk staff was helpful and friendly. The location is convenient and close to the famous Lombard street.

Great location close to Marina (walking distance), cute shops and restaurants less than a minute's walk away. Close to public transport. Short drive to tourist sites. Across the road from Mel's Diner. Clean room and big bathroom. Excellent value!. Free secure parking was fantastic. Huge TV in room and coffee machine. Ice dispenser on floor was good. Friendly reception staff. Comfy beds, good lighting and the cutest windows. Very cute neighbourhood, just around the corner from Chestnut street with fantastic places to eat and shop. 10 minute stroll to Marina. Loved this location. Liked my room a lot.

The private room was amazing and being able to cook your own food and leave your luggage at checkout for a few hours is really useful! This place was amazing just for that. Honestly the best place for the price, and some of the most friendly staff we've encountered in all our trips.

    Great hotel. Nice personnel. Good price (by SF standards), nice big room, comfortable bed, and spacious bathroom. Hotel atmosphere was good and cozy. Location is good; close to the busy city center (union square etc), but located in a street which is a little bit more quiet/nicer. Easy to walk to other neighborhoods from the hotel. Breakfast is okay, nothing special but fine.

    Central location. Good price compared to other properties in SF. Reasonably clean. The diner next door is a good place for breakfast. The hotel itself was quiet, although there was a little noise from the street. The room was equipped with a hairdryer, and an iron and board, which you wouldn't necessarily expect at that price point. The staff was friendly. It's all in all a good budget option. I would probably go back if travelling alone.
