This property was conveniently located for my visit. Overall hotel was quiet, however the building across the street began installing scaffolding at 5am. Not the hotel’s fault, but disruptive. I would prefer not to be buzzed in for the parking lot, but I’m sure this is for security reasons.

The property itself is good but check in was challenging as there was no good place to park close by. I learnt later that I should had head to their parking even though it was gated, locked and needed key card. They would have buzzed me but there was no way to tell that from outside

Art-inspired boutique feel with great staff.

The Courtyard Marriott on Van Ness is a wonderful hotel. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere has a charming, art-inspired boutique feel. The rooms are comfortable and well-designed, with bathrooms that feature beautiful tile work and glass shower doors. While the surrounding area does have some homeless individuals, I never felt unsafe or uncomfortable. This is mainly an issue at night, but using Uber or other rideshares makes it easy to avoid any concerns.

Hot in SF

Not a very nice location. Not convenient for parking. Staff was unhelpful. No one told us when we checked in that the hotel had catastrophic failure of their HVAC system or that there were fans available. Our room was horribly hot for our entire stay. Twice we nearly ran over people sleeping in the hotel gated entrance for parking. Usually Marriott is our go-to for stays, it might not be after this.
