We decided to make a trip to San Francisco for my birthday weekend and found out about Parker Guest House while searching on line. We definitely made the right decision! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The place has managed to keep it's charm while still having the modern conveniences that we needed. A GREAT place to stay!

This is a fantastic B&B. The homes and garden are beautifully updated but most impressive is how comfortable they make you feel. Breakfast on the back porch was a wonderful way to start the day. My husband is always skeptical of B&B's now this is where he says he wants to stay every trip to San Francisco. It is also... More

Our 3rd stay at the Parker over the last 10 years. Just the nicest, most relaxing place to stay. Will always come back and would recomend to anyone wanting the more intimate hotel experience. Off street parking. Late checkin. Nice light breakfast. Beautiful grounds and wine in the afternoon whats not to like.

The Parker is great on all fronts - super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff; excellent quality accommodations and great price point for a B&B in the middle of the City. Special elements like its little courtyard/garden oasis are huge pluses - we spent quite a bit of time there relaxing, organizing ourselves, eating breakfast (which, by the way, was a... More

I booked the Parker Guest House based on a recommendation of a friend who lives in SF. It's great. I felt at home the minute I walked in the door. It's really like staying at someone's home. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The houses are spotless. A continental breakfast is served every morning and wine and non-alcoholic drinks... More

My wife and I stayed for four nights last September, and then for a further two on returning from our drive down to LA and back via Kings and Yosemite Parks. We had a fantastic experience at Parker House: beautiful interiors, especially in the public rooms, pleasant, secluded gardens and a wonderful team headed up by Scott, for whom nothing... More

We had a great three-day stay at Parker Guest House. The hosts were helpful, the rooms and grounds are lovely, comfortable and well-maintained. The best feature is the location - amazing! My only feedback would be for the excellent hosts to expand breakfast options a bit. Fine if you're a fruit and toast person, but you'll have to head out... More

The Parker House could not have been more cozy and friendly! We were visiting our kids in San Fran and had stayed at several different hotels over the years, but this place is the winner. From the wine and cheese in the evening to the roaring fire in the livingroom and the wonderful innkeepers, we were charmed and made to... More
