Hotels near Japanese Tea Garden

"This motel has not been thoroughly cleaned or updated in decades. There was no overhead light in the room- only small desk lamps that would turn off randomly. There were stains on the wall, some of which had been covered off with mismatched paint. All of the furniture is beat up and damaged in some way. The bed sheets had permanent stains even if washed. There were dirty hand towels, food, and dirt under the bed. There was a man asleep on the stairs outside the room in the morning which was quite alarming. I did not feel comfortable or safe in this room and would advise against staying here. I will not stay here again."

"Great hotel and would highly recommend "

"Excellent stay"

"Shops nearby were helpful. Super close to a big Macy’s that had food options and in walking distance of a Trader Joe’s. The pool was under maintenance while we stayed which we were not informed about before hand. That was disappointing. "

"Clean room, comfortable bed and pillows, soft towels, great location across from Golden Gate Park, several restaurants and cafes around, good breakfast, wine and refreshments every night. Nice staff. Highly recommended when in the area. "

"I’m hoping someone reads this review because I wish I had read reviews before booking. First, this hotel is not affiliated with Embassy Suites. That’s what I assumed when I booked, but it’s actually a completely separate hotel called The Embassy. It’s located in the Tenderloin District, one of the rougher areas of San Francisco. The location was not clearly advertised when booking, and if you’re a solo female traveler, I would strongly recommend avoiding this area. They even lock the front entrance door, so at times you have to ring a bell to be let in. That alone should tell you how rough the neighborhood can be. To be fair, the towels and linens were clean and the staff was friendly, but the hotel itself is very dated and worn. The building has an old charm, but the moment we walked into our room it smelled like cigarette smoke, even though it’s supposed to be smoke-free. We had to notify management.There is no air conditioning, only an old furnace system that may or may not work. Luckily San Francisco weather is cool, so opening the window helped, but the street noise is loud, which may bother some guests. Also, the photos on Expedia are heavily filtered and misleading compared to the actual condition of the hotel.Amenities are minimal, only a small fridge, no real extras, and the TV isn’t Bluetooth enabled. If you just need a cheap place to sleep, it may be fine. But if you prefer cleaner, more modern accommodations or are traveling alone, I’d recommend staying elsewhere."

"The room was nice.The bed was comfortable, the pillows were great and the shower was amazing! Great location at the beach and right on the metro station."

"Really enjoyed my stay. Loved that parking is included. Will be staying again when I am in the area! The only note is that the walls are thin so you can hear a lot of the noise around you but that didn’t bother me too much!"

"Cute boutique style lodge. Rooms were nice, great area, and easy to check in and out. Provided list of local restaurants and amenities around the area. "
