Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Our travel was business and it was my first experience staying in a keyless Inn in the US. Everything went very well, and communication by text messaging was not a problem at all. Any questions I had were responded to immediately. The room was small, and my only thought was wishing there was a chair to sit on in there. The lounge common area provided that space and the coffee/tea counter was clean, offering everything needed.
The bonus of our stay was the location! It is out of the bustle of the downtown area, easy pick up by Uber, and walking distance to outstanding eateries in Little Italy or Chinatown. HUGE!
Nice room, lobby/lounge is so comfortable and inviting. Coffee bar with real half and half!
Location is ridiculously good. Best place I’ve stayed in a long time, reasonably priced, beautiful building, tastefully decorated room with marble floors and walls in the spacious bathroom and easy access with no hassles at all! Great experience in every aspect.5 stars

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Checking in was a hassle. Only phone access that was querky at best to open the doors. Parking and unloading was difficult and expensive.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Location is ideal for a Northbeach stay. Staff is friendly and responsive. Very old building and common areas are kept nicely. As one would expect for a 3 star. Room number 7 does need a little freshen up. The carpet is very old and stained and I imagine is the reason for the odor in the room. The bay window is lovely but the cushions need to be recovered. Keep it simple. Don’t think you need the bolsters in that area. Just the seat cushions.
This place is very cute and comfortable and in a wonderful location right in the middle of North Beach and all its great shops and Italian bakeries, cafes, and restaurants. The room was small but comfortable, clean and tastefully decorated. There is no front desk service but when I had some questions they were quick to respond to email, text, and phone call. I would definitely stay here again!
At first I was unsure but after downloading App Onekey everything was good
Bit a noise hallway and street .
I like the location definitely will come back
Location so close to almost everything
The Washington Square Inn is in a great location for both the immediate North Beach neighborhood, and getting around San Francisco. It's an unattended property, so there is really no "staff or service" to mention. It's also basically an older building, but in decent shape. My wife and I feel like it's one of the nicest bargain stays in SF.
My wife and I stayed here 3 times in the last 2 weeks as we were traveling around the state and Oregon. It is now our go to place to stay in San Francisco. It is located in the best location, exactly where we want to be.
