Review:
Excellent location in Marina District - a decent historic hotel - the rooms were not large, but well stocked and appointed - fridge, microwave, full kitchen and comfy beds in our room - within walking distance to lots of nice restaurants - we walked to the Palace of Fine Arts from the hotel
A quiet place in the big city - this hotel was updated - nice courtyard and lovely gardens - we enjoyed this hotel - asked for a room overlooking the courtyard - helpful and friendly staff - nicely furnished room, large enough for the two - close to the public transportation - within walking distance to Fisherman's Wharf - highly recommended
This was a family-operated hotel - the room was not huge by any means - parking was provided - nice kitchen and bathroom areas - a good value for the location - the price was good - comfortable beds and clean rooms - the staff was ok, but not overly helpful - wonderful weekend escape - dogs were welcome
Close to Pier 39 - I would go back and stay again - cozy and conveniently located - dorm-sized fridge, microwave and closet - about 2.5 miles from Fisherman's Warf - the furniture was well used - free parking was a huge plus - each room had a private garage below the room - hospitable manager (more…)

Review:
The financial district location was perfect for business meetings in town - walking distance to all main areas - not much shopping or weekend action nearby
Select rooms had spectacular vies of Golden Gate Bridge, the Bag Bridge, Coit Tower and Angel Island - a 10-minute walk to the farmer's market at the Ferry Building
Room service menu was quite good but pricey - the food and service at the bar was great - hotel car service was available - the restaurant was terrific serving delicious gourmet foods
Staff was excellent and provided impeccable service - high tea in the lobby lounge was good - one minor complaint was the lack of coffee maker in the room
The perfect place for luxury and high quality service - rooms were fantastic with upscale amenities - loved the decors and furnishings
A little pricey for average travelers - but you got what you paid for - a perfect stay in every way (more…)
