Absolutely the friendliest place ever. Every single employee greets you every time!

Absolutely the friendliest place ever. Every single employee greets you every time! It was a 50th anniversary trip and we were welcomed so wonderfully, a gift basket was in the room when we came back from one of our many excursions. Two small drawbacks, One was the where the safe was in the room, it was on the floor of the closet, hard for old folks to get to...but I use it so I don't misplace things more so than keeping them safe. Two, the cost of the valet parking. It was more than the rental car and more than any of the overnight parking garages in the area. I enjoyed the decor, and knew going in there was no restaurant but so many are so close and there's always delivery!! Pier 39 is a short walk away as are many other sites. Bus stop and trolley are close also. The concierge service is wonderful, ready to help with directions and suggestions. Honestly the friendliest place we have ever stayed. We had a courtyard view on the first floor and were impressed by how quiet it was. Read less

We stayed here for 3 nights, and am so impressed with the hotel/rooms and staff. Our room was spacious, functional and spotless. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was amazing! The water machine on each floor is so helpful, with sparkling, still and flavoured water available free of charge. The location is perfect, 5 mins from fisherman’s wharf, and a handy Walgreens just across the roads. The only minor (and I mean minor!) issues, the room is a little dark in places and there is some noise from outside/ room above, but they provided complimentary earplugs and those 2 points take nothing away from a great stay. It has exceeded all our expectations! Would recommend and would stay here again. Read less

Wonderful stay. Staff is very welcoming and helpful. Always greet you when they see you. Housekeeping also does an amazing job. They really took care of us during our 5 night stay. The hotels location is perfect. Walking distance to many locations such as Ghirardelli Square, Pier 39 and many more locations. The theory that she's shrunk lots of restaurants within walking distance, Starbucks is about a 4 min walk. Walgreens across the street if you want to pick up some essentials. Trader Joe's also short walk away. Rooms are very roomy and bathrooms are clean and modern. Our room was on the 3rd floor facing the courtyard and we had no issues with noise. Highly recommend hotel for its accomodations, staff and location Read less

Great location, close to fisherman's wharf and public transport and restaurants. Beautiful and comfortable bedrooms. Friendly staff. Complementary coffee and laundry service for guests. Great value for money. Would be nice if they offered breakfast
