Clean room, comfortable bed, great shower for a taller person, and all top notch amenities. Friendly staff and very quiet at night for the area. Will always try and stay there whenever in SF.
Charming vintage property with garages under every room, although first come first serve plenty of parking. Easy to pull into the charming courtyard, check in and walk up a short flight of stairs to cozy pet friendly rooms with rather firm beds and newer bathrooms. Courtyard very quiet and plenty cool in summer without AC, beautiful flowers and charm galore unlike any tourist or chain hotel. Perfect antidote and retreat from the busy city.
This place is such a hidden gem! The staff is amazing! Brendan at the front desk was so friendly and happy to give recommendations, the property is so beautiful and is like escaping into a garden! The rooms were quaint and comfortable, fully equipped kitchen, the bed was comfortable, and for being an old building the water pressure in the shower was great! Its super walkable and near a lot of hot spots! Definitely will be coming back!
Clean room with a great shower. Staff was really pleasant and nice. Very accommodating.

I must say we were pretty disappointed in our accommodations . First of all we were charged triple amount of your usual amount so with this we at least expected excellent service.
Instead when we checked in, we were told if we needed housekeeping to call at eight in the morning. So the next morning I called and asked to have housekeeping clean our room and I was told that they only did it every other day. So the following day I called and asked for housekeeping told her we were leaving the room at 10 AM and they could come in after that when. We came back to our room in the afternoon and the room had not been cleaned. The only thing they did was empty the trash and leave clean towels. Only when we complained, did our room get done.
Also, there was no heat in the room. They had to give us a portable heater to heat the room and the electricity kept going out lol they had to reset it in our room about four times.
I'm sorry but for what we were charged $485 a night, we were very disappointed in the service we reveived.
