Budget hotels can be hit and miss - this was in between. The room was extremely small - I always read reviews and think - who care how small the room is? - but 2 people for a week - gets a bit cramped. The big minus was the communal bathrooms. The toilets are shared - not a huge deal... more

Everything was great ... the shared toilet closet was a bit small for me ... but, a Blue Bottle Coffee kiosk is just around the corner (best I've had in a long time), the Opera, Ballet, good restaurants, cool stuff at MAC - Modern Appealing Clothing, good parking - it's all right by the Inn ... and the Inn still... more

We stayed in two rooms, because we decided to come one night earlier a few days before our stay. It was not a problem at all to arrive one day earlier. Both rooms were very tidy, and clean, although the carpet in the first room was a little dirty, but not much. The rooms are furnished a little old fashioned,... more

I never know what to expect with "budget" hotels. The HVI was nice, clean, good staff, decent free breakfast and great location in an up and coming neighborhood with tons of great restaurants! The room was very small - but I think that there are bigger ones! The only thing I didn't like was the shared bathroom - and it... more

The stay at this place was as expected. A quaint hotel with an excellent location. There is no elevator, so be aware where your assigned room as you may have to hike stairs daily. The staff was friendly and willing to help at all times. The place was very clean and the shared bathroom, spotless. Don't get distracted if anyone... more

The only good thing about this hotel was that it was in a nice location. You walk outside and you are surrounded by cute coffee shops & restaurants. That was pretty much the only enjoyable thing about it. It advertised free Wi-Fi, but we were only able to get a signal on the 1st floor. Had to sit on bench... more

This hotel is very well located, and we had a generally favorable experience here. Bathrooms are shared but clean. The room was well kept and linens were fresh. Breakfast was fine: standard continental fare, but good pastries & bagels. The carpet in the hallways is pretty old, but no real complaints about the property. We were satisfied, and it's a... more

My husband and I stayed at Hayes Valley Inn in July 2007. The hotel is more of a European bed & breakfast, but with great value. Sure, you need to share bathroom with the other guests, but they were well maintained. There is a sink in evey room, so you won't need to brush your teeths outside yoour room. The... more

Situated in a great neighbourhood that we know well, my partner and I were looking forward to being close to our old haunts. However, although I can recommend the neighbourhood I cannot recommend the Hayes Valley Inn. When I phoned to book the male staff member I spoke to was rather abrupt so I already had my concerns. Once there... more
