Staff was so nice! The greeting alone every time we walked-in was hospitable. The location walking distance to North Beach, Chinatown, Fisherman’s Wharf, all within walking distance. No homeless n the streets and has a nearby Wallgreens and local bars and restaurants.

Johnny, Los Angeles

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I always like to stay here when I'm visiting San Francisco, for two important reasons: (1) free self-parking, and (2) proximity to North Beach and the Wharf. The rooms are also comfortable and spacious. This time there was an added bonus: a nice view of the SF skyline out my window, with the TransAmerica Building, the Salesforce Tower and the Saints Peter and Paul Church in the distance. Downsides: (1) you can't plug a streaming device into the TV -- no HDMI port, and (2) the heater intermittently stopped blowing warm air into the room. Regardless, I would definitely stay here again in the future.
