Some years ago, I was looking for an alternative to the downtown hotels for my frequent visits to San Francisco, so I could stay near friends and stroll the neighborhoods that I find so inviting. An online search revealed an attractive property that seemed to meet my criteria, so I gave it a try. Now, four years and many visits... more

Despite an excellent location, the Parker Guest House has really gone downhill. For it's price, one would expect air conditioning or at least a fan when it was hot during our stay. We left the windows wide open and there were no screen so the room was full of bugs upon our return at night. We spent 30 minutes getting... more

My partner and I just got back from a stay at the Parker Guest House and enjoyed it very much. The place has a terriffic location and we were able to walk just about everywhere. And if we needed to take the subway it was just down the block. The staff was super nice and that is one reason we... more

Finding a good location seems to be the trickiest aspect to a successful stay in San Francisco. Therefore, I ditched the usual hotwire and priceline methods that often place me downtown in favor of staying in an actual neighborhood. The ease with which one can come and go from this b and b highly recommends it, and I would stay... more

Outstanding hotel (or large B&B). Extremely well-appointed common areas, great service, very clean, nice rooms. Overall, couldn't have asked for more (with one exception: see below). My partner and I stayed here for a long weekend in November 2008. Located in the Castro (but quietly off the main commercial drags), the Parker House is convenient to restaurants, bars, and public... more

Not too long ago, before moving to San Francisco, I stayed at the Parker House for almost a week. The purpose of my visit was to check out the local social and cultural scene as well as housing options. I could not have picked a better place to stay. As you've read in other reviews, the Parker House is located... more

My partner and me chose Parker Guest House, because of its close approximate location to the Castro district. We loved the atmosphere with a beautifully maintained garden; it really is a treat to sit in a wonderful garden after the visiting the vibrant downtown area. Breakfast was good and varied, and should be something for everyone to like. It is... more

I stayed at the Parker Guest House while visiting friends in SF. The location is great!! There is very easy access to public transportation and it's situated in the sunny Mission near the Castro. There are many wonderful restaurants and places to shop nearby. The staff were very helpful and friendly. They were always willing to help with directions and... more

Just finished my first week on the West Coast. Based on a referral from a co-worker, we chose to stay at the Parker. Upon arriving, Richard and the crew were very nice and attentive in explaining to us the rules of the grounds, when breakfast was served, the wine social, etc. We had a King room upstairs with a window... more
