The location for this property is its best aspect! We loved that the hotel had a bus stop right outside, and that there were a lot of restaurants/stores on the same road. We also liked having a parking garage included; that was really important because of our car rental.

I stayed here on the night of the 23rd. The attitude of the female staff at the front desk was really bad. I think if a job makes you unhappy, please don't do it. It will affect the image of the hotel.

Rooms and hotel in need of a renovation. Only one chair in the room. Desk did not have a desk chair, missing furniture was unexpected. One small bar of soap was only amenity in bathroom. The in shower pump for shower gel was empty. Hair in the bath tub. Worst thing is our room faced the back alley, which is next door to a post office. All day and night constantly hearing trucks running, unloading, banging, yelling, never stopped for 5 minutes. We didn't get any sleep. Ask for a room away from the alley.

Parking was tight, Room was fine and honestly bathroom was outdated and gross. We stayed less than 12 hours (early flight out) so barely used the full accommodations. Would not stay again.

The property was like a motel with a walk up window to check in at night. Was just OK. Luckily we only needed a place to stay for 1 night before heading out on a cruise.

We stayed 2 nights here and both night were wonderful. It was really quiet and we walked to dinner both nights. There is a bunch of restraunts right around the block. We parked in the garage underneath the hotel and took city transit, the bus stop was right outside the front door almost, will definitely go back.

I liked that the inn was nearby a lot of dining options. It’s really well located near restaurants. For those who are going for the night scene, definitely convenient as there are a few options across the street. Otherwise, everything else wasn’t as expected. First, the staff isn’t friendly nor welcoming. I smiled at them a few times with no smile back. On a couple occasions, I could see the front desk lady staring at us as loaded everyone up, my dad who’s in a wheelchair and infant daughter. I smiled back after the awkward realization we were being watched but received no smile or acknowledgment of my wave. Secondly, the hot water all over the building was out. We didn’t get notified and when called the person on the other phone couldn’t really give us any information other than we called to get it fixed and it should be fixed later. With an added comment along the lines of “you know, these things happen” they didnt even offer a late check out or apology. They also made my friend move her car so someone else could park in the parking spot by the front desk. She was well within her right as she parked there with an suv and the other driver had a pick up, but really!? They didn’t offer her another spot within the building. Lastly, at night, the front desk lady allowed guest to park in the main entrance and I couldn’t get to the handicap parking spot that I needed for my dad. I had to drive around the block and drop him off on the side. I won’t be staying here again.

The location was wonderful. We could walk or catch a bus to wherever we wanted to go in the SF area. Union and Chestnut shopping and dining streets were both within a couple of blocks with a great selection of dining, bars, and shops - including a good bookstore and old fashion movie theater. We could walk to the Marina area, Presidio or Ft. Mason. We would stay here again.
