The Laurel Inn is in a great location on the corner of California and Presidio, a pleasant area with good restaraunts. (they do offer a continental breakfast as well as lemonade and cookies in the afternoon).The staff was helpful upon check in/out. Our room had two double beds with comfortable bedding and pillows. We had a nice view of the... more

We stayed at the Laurel the first weekend of October during the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass fest in Golden Gate Park. We don't drive in San Francisco, but rather purchase the 3 day MUNI passes for $18; the Laurel Inn is the ideal jumping off spot for getting around the city, with bus stops in every direction from the Presidio/California Street... more

We stayed for four nights in September. We did a lot of research prior to booking and were looking forward to the complimentary WiFi internet access and breakfast. The hotel did not disappoint. It was located conveniently to public transportation. The staff was helpful with lunch/dinner recommendations. We would definitely stay there again on a return trip. Good value! more

Agree with other comments about this little hotel. Small yes, but does the job fairly well. Friendly staff, nice complimentary continental breakfast in mornings and snacks in the afternoon. The rooms are a good size although, the mattress could have been a bit better. The bathroom was clean and functional although nothing to write home about. Aside from the nice... more

The Laurel Inn was a lovely hotel. The neighborhood was great. Lots of places to eat and shop within walking distance. The chocolate chip cookies and lemonade where a nice treat after a day of sightseeing. The staff was friendly and helpful. There was a problem with our reservation and because the hotel was booked we couldn't get the room... more

"Goodbye's" consignment clothing for women and men nearby). The hotel is smallish, nicely decorated room, and the Joie de Vivre Hotels touch of style and class. The free breakfast... more

After recovering from a double-lung transplant, and being required to be near UCSF for two months post-surgery, I chose to stay at the Laurel Inn Hotel for my recooperation. There I experienced a kind, compassionate, professional staff that took the extra steps to provide excellent customer satisfaction and service. Whether that meant providing an extra refrigerator (for my many required... more

The Laurel Inn became our home away from home from April 4th to May 21st, 2009 after our Daughter had a bilateral Lung Transplant (at UCSF). John Spear, the manager, and his staff treated our daughter Cindy great with anything she needed to make her stay more comfortable (ex. bringing in an extra Refrigerator for her many medications, extra furniture,... more

I booked at the Laurel Inn to cover the Olympic torch protests and was expecting many hotels to be full, but was able to get a city view king room at a reasonable rate. It's not really a hotel for traveling on business -- the desk chair was more decorative and was painful after a while -- but the room... more
