Family stay in July

We stayed for 2 nights in July. Whilst the hotel is a little worn in places it really is an excellent place to stay. The staff are fantastic, the location is excellent and they have amazingly comfortable beds. Also prices are good, especially given the local hotel pricing.

Overnighter eating our way thru No. Beach

My husband and I stay here every time we come to the city for an overnighter in North Beach. We have never been disappointed. The free parking is a Hugh plus and the location is perfect.

Great Room, Staff, and Location

Great staff. Fantastic free parking. Clean room. Just a few short blocks to Fishermans Wharf and Ghirardelli square. Right by all of the public transporation like the bus and the cable car. If we were going somewhere else besides on those routes, everything was just a ahort Waymo or Uber away. Only one very small thing was our room didn't have a mini fridge.
Raymond, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Location was excellent for exploring Fisherman's Wharf area on foot. Friendly check-in staff & clean room. I would have liked a fridge but for one night it was ok. Enjoyed our stay.
