Geary Parkway Motel At Mine Hospitality

Geary Parkway Motel At Mine Hospitality

10/10 Excellent
"Little gem of a place, ideally placed for easy access to both the Presidio and Golden Gate Park. Being on Geary means you have immediate access to the city via Muni buses outside too (either tap in with contactless or if doing more than a return trip buy a day ticket via the app). Our room was immaculate with comfortable beds. There's obviously some traffic noise due to its location, but this never stopped us sleeping or disturbed us. Local area is fine to walk around, easy to walk to the de Young, good restaurants nearby and a Safeway."

The Grove Inn

The Grove Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Wow! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Grove! The location was absolutely perfect. Very walkable and public transit near the hotel takes you to many main attractions. The location is convenient. The neighborhood is charming. The hotel is authentic to San Francisco. And the rooms were pristine clean. We actually live - hour away but decided to do a short day trip, and staying here and the surrounding areas gave us a totally different view of San Francisco (in the best way possible!). There are delicious and enjoyable shops, restaurants, coffee shops, and activities nearby including Fillmore Jazz Distric and Japantown (among others). There are a handful of beautiful parks with stunning views only a short distance away. Street parking is available, but can be tough to find and has restrictions during the week (but we are familiar with SF so were prepared). The rooms were very clean and the hotel was quiet and quaint. If I ever come back for a stay, I will hands down stay here again."

"Everything was great it’s a place to stay in and sleep, great location. I did feel a worried after the last two nights my bed sheets had some stains red. I couldn’t say much because I left early and came back late. But very professional I’m sure they would have fix it if I where to say something because they made me feel like they could since day one."
