Amazing hospitality at the Golden Gate Hotel. The staff is friendly and prompt to help customers. Ares were clean and cozy. Enjoyed the tea and coffee provided and the smooth link with the next door partner hotel for breakfast and after-hours check-in. Overall a lovely experience, including a beautiful car who is the soul of the place. Thank you!

Location is the positive

Location is great but the positive just about. ends there, well, the lobby is also nice enough. The rooms are barely big enough for the bed. The breakfast in 'bed and breakfast' is in another hotel, and was lacking. The sharing of a bathroom is a hidden when purchasing. And that's a big issue when others are leaving a messy bathroom—one neighbor had peed on the floor without cleaning up. If you can get a bathroom in your room—check carefully—then it would be been an 'ok' place to stay. At the convention prices paid of over $250++ a night, we won't be back.

We loved our stay here. We knew we wouldnt be spending much time in the hotel, but would want a cozy and comfy place to sleep and it was perfect. The bed was super soft. I do wish I had known that breakfast was actually at the sister hotel a few doors down, so you can't just pop downstairs. Also, the king beds are two twins, but given the tight staircase it makes sense. It was easy to get around the city from here and was the perfect homebase.

Good location

The location is great and it is close to the financial district, union square and still quiet most of the time. The only thing traveller needs to be careful is to make sure not to book the room in the basement where you do not have the private bathroom.

Loved the house kitty! I was a little disappointed to find out we were in the basement bedroom but thankfully there was a window to the outside. The property had an “old” smell but that is to be expected with older homes. The staff was extremely accommodating & the area was perfect for a downtown experience. Parking was off site across the street so prepared to pay $$$ Overall would stay again for the price!

Quiet, comfy beds, very well-maintained/clean. The breakfast is pretty basic, but it's complimentary. Had a few issues with charges, mostly revolving around their inability to explain some of them, as well as one random extra charge. Heads up, they do charge a nightly amenities fee plus a nightly pet fee. So, if traveling with pets, expect to pay an extra $45/nite. Ultimately, it was this charge that prevented me from extending my stay. Lost track of time on my last day and was an hour late checking out. Front desk guy gave me a harder time than I think he should have. I had been there for 10 days and thought that should have earned me to a little leeway but it was Saturday and they needed to flip the room. So I kind of understand the reason for the harshness, but I I could have used some help with my bags and I just kind of felt like they were kicking me out after showing out about 1300 bucks.

When checking out, I was asked for an extra $20. According to the hotel, this extra fee started on Sep 1st, 2024. Be aware that the real price is not the one listed when you book the hotel!
