Room was very clean, staff friendly. I was able to get everything I needed to rest well in this place. They had also steam ironing in the room that I thought that was a nice touch for travelers. I also liked that the location was so close to the fishermen’s wharf. I definitely recommend this place.

Good place to stay for a quick trip. Parking was good, the staff let us stay parked after the checkout time. The location is better than I initially thought. Reasonable distance to Hyde Pier, Lombard St twisty part, the Presidio and more. You can catch the cable car at the top of Lombard too if you want an uphill climb to start your day. Coffee Berry up the street was really good, and there are many unassuming businesses, like a little market, around to support. The room was clean, had some bumps and damage, and there was no soundproofing. But it's a good spot anyway.
