Family stay in July
We stayed for 2 nights in July. Whilst the hotel is a little worn in places it really is an excellent place to stay. The staff are fantastic, the location is excellent and they have amazingly comfortable beds. Also prices are good, especially given the local hotel pricing.

It was great but be careful
Location was great. A few blocks from Fishermans wharf and pier 39. Free parking was great but our car and around 8 others got broken into in the early morning. Windows were broken àlong with the office windows. It was random and i heard it happens often in San Francisco. Consider a place that is gated or has a security.

I loved my stay, the staff is excellent but the towels and linens seemed stale and not fresh especially the quilt, scratchy towels. . The coffee maker could use an upgrade,perhaps a mini kuerig. But overall a great place to stay! Will stay again! Thank you

Location, Convenience and Charm
Great location with excellent service, near North Beach and Fisherman’s Wharf has a parking garage and access to all San Francisco offers. The room furnishings are dated but, IMHO adds to the charm.
