口コミ通り、とても温かみのあるホテルでした。 特にチェックインや夜にいらした受付の男性がいつもとても明るく親切で、気持ちが良い接客に感謝いたします。 ホテルの場所はとても便利な場所です。 お部屋も広々していましたし、バスタブにお湯も張れて、観光で疲れた体が癒されました。 またサンフランシスコに来る際はぜひ宿泊したいです。

Clean room, good location with a good price. Parking was safe. Even though it’s next to a jazz club that I wish we could have enjoyed, the noise was not intrusive. Would book this again. It’s a nice place if you’re not looking for extra amenities like a pool or breakfast.

Might be dated looking but very clean and not foul smelling. Staff is super helpful and accommodating. One thing that could be possibly improved is the shower water pressure.

Great staff. They let us check in and park early so we could check out the sites without paying for parking elsewhere. Walking distance to fisherman's wharf, easy for us and our 4yo. We walked to a small breakfast spot just a block over: good food, good staff, and we got a 10% discount when we mentioned we were staying at this hotel. Will definitely stay here again.
