A colleague and I spent a night in San Francisco visiting friends at the end of a business trip out West. We arrived at the Grove Inn, a historic Victorian, and were met by the owner, who was friendly and helpful as we unloaded. We engaged him in conversation about the city, and he gave us advice on how to... more

I booked a room WELL in advance through Travelocity. Upon arriving at the Grove Inn, the Innkeeper answered the door, took one look at my boyfriend and I (who, might I add are both clean cut 25 year olds), and said he had no rooms and he had "bounced back" all emails from online providers telling them so.

We were more pleasantly surprised on arrival, as the rooms were... more

The Grove Inn lacks some of the frills that you might expect to find at a San Francisco B&B but provides a nice place to stay in a good location at a very reasonable price. The rooms are modest but the beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are clean, there is a nice chair to sit and read and a small... more
