i would not stay any other place when I visit the city..This place in convenient to all parts of the city.either walking, cable, or bus...I parked at the Safeway..safe, and clean...I cant say enough about this charming place..please treat yourself, and stay here...

This hotel may be the best surprise of my trip to SF. As a solo female traveller, I felt so safe and relaxed I fell asleep on my bed right after I checked in. Great, welcoming cozy halls with interesting books and pictures everywhere, and a free pass to the Beat Museum a ten minute walk away. The atmosphere is so welcoming I can't imagine staying in one of those boxy chain hotels. Absolutely loved the feel of this place. Wonderful rooms, each different, and open for viewing until thier occupants checked in. Antiques in each one, painted wood floors, windows that open and comfy beds. Interesting place to spend an afternoon. And a bargain, with free wifi, a corner room with a sink, I spent just over $100 bucks. I visited a coworker's boxy, featureless room at the Marriot Marquis (300 bucks with unreliable wifi) and knew I'd gotten a steal. There are massage chairs that really work, on every floor. Bathrooms are shared but spotless and plentiful. I couldn't get this place off my mind when I left, I wanted to stay! Felt like home. Only downside, just a tad off the beaten path (Close to lots of north Beach cafes, City lights bookstore). I'm a walker so this wasn't an issue. And at this price you can afford a taxi now and then. FYI if you need an early airport shuttle (14 bucks) order it the night before, the desk is only staffed from 8 am to 10 pm.

My husband and I had a lovely stay here. The extremely affordable rates (for SF) relate to European style hotel (bathroom down the hall) and small rooms. The bathrooms and shower were kept very clean during our stay and there is a lovely bathtub on the upper floor available for use. Each room is slightly different, so if you have the opportunity to look at available rooms when you check in that would be helpful. We found that choosing a room with a sink was a good option for us. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Being in such close proximity to trolley, North Beach eating and shopping and the wharf all good. Great coffee places nearby and Trader Joe's around the corner. Parking is currently discounted by the hotel at a local Safeway parking garage. We loved our stay here and will return!

This hotel is closed to Fisherman Whalf, Pier 39. It is cozy and warm, has nice decoration inside but the room is very tiny and no noise proof. I guess it is built in old days so not equipped with this.
Sharing bathrooms are quite clean. In general nothing to complain, except for inside the room. Too antique!
