“Better beds than the Hilton”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2013 NEW via mobile

This hotel was wonderfully placed, with extremely comfortable rooms. The pillows were heavenly. Oscar, who was working Saturday when we arrived was very pleasant and gave great advice. The lady working in the morning was much less friendly, but the complimentary bagels and hard boiled eggs were fresh and nice. If you stay here, check out the wine bar Nectar... More

We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights and it was a great spot. You can easily get a bus to either fishermans wharf area or straight to the golden gate bridge - the bus stops are a few minutes walk away.

“Home away from home”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 May 2013

A quiet boutique hotel away from the hustling and bustling of Fisherman's Wharf or Union Square. Felt quite safe within hotel and surrounding areas. Staff met or exceeded expectations. Would come back to this hotel if visiting San Francisco again. The only minor glitch was that on the second day of the visit, the housekeeper left the cleaning towel in... More

“Great Location and Staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2013

Stayed here two nights in mid-May as part of a week-long trip through Northern California. Great location. Friendly staff, super clean rooms, and good, competitive rates. Comfy beds, linens and towels too! We had a rental car, so the free, off-street parking was a nice perk. Overall, there is a fun, funky, colorful vibe to the place. The location is... More
