“Great location....Really a nice stay!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 5, 2013

I was looking for a safe, clean, friendly place in that area because it was close to my family. Hotel
Tomo fit the bill perfectly. ( I knew I would not spend much time in my room....the goal of the trip was to be out & about, so I was not in the mood to spend a lot for amenities I would not use.)
Front desk folks were nice, the hotel was clean & well organized. The decor was fun....even tho
it is not my usual thing. (I mention that bec i wasn't sure exactly what I'd be getting into!)
And yes....I will stay here again. It met my needs and was actually beyond my expectations.
A great deal.

“My go-to hotel in SF for now on!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 28, 2013

Location, location, location. I love that this hotel is in the heart of japtown. Also the fact that their staff is super friendly and helpful. The room itself was very comfortable and cute atmosphere. Probably the ONLY thing I can complain about was the lighting in the bathroom was really dim. It didn't bother me so much, but it needed to be brighter, lol. Maybe it was just our room. Also, this was NOT a noisy hotel at all. Which was a plus! It was quiet unlike most hotels in SF. Overall, a great hotel for a decent price. I'll definitely stay here again when I'm in SF!

The staff at Hotel Tomo was great. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I stayed there for eight days and i was very impressed with everything. The room was very spacious and had a great view. It is definitely a hotel I would stay at again.
