The decor and energy of this hotel is fantastic; encapsulating the great American literary and arts history of this area and time. Enjoy, have some sherry, and enjoy a moment in a bar or cafe before exploring the area.

My husband and I stayed there since it’s close to where our daughter lives. Just convenient location. What I didn’t realize was the big flight off stairs when we arrived. That would have been ok but the hotel definitely needs some freshening up.

This hotel is not for everyone, but I loved it. You have to climb up a flight of stairs to get up to the hotel lobby, and our room was up another flight of stairs. You are pretty much on your own for finding a nearby parking garage. Our room faced the road, but we loved opening the windows (their is not air-conditioning) and listening to the music drifting-up from the restaurants below. It is in the little Italy section of the city, so there are tons of restaurants within a block of the hotel. We used Uber to get to other parts of the city, but it is near public transportations. It was fun! I would return.

We very much appreciate you being our guest. You are absolutely right - our hotel is not for everyone. However, someone such as yourself, that appreciates arts and culture, feels right at home. Hearing the sounds of the city: conversations in Italian, French, Chinese and Spanish intermix in a cosmopolitan chorus lets one know that they are in a cultural center. We do also have rooms off of the street that are quieter that one may ask for. Regardless, our location is the best in the city. We are happy that you found us and that you enjoyed your stay.

We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us. We do offer an authentic North Beach experience. All of our rooms are custom and have period piece antiques. Indeed, we do not have an elevator. This was not the norm in 1906 when the hotel was built. Thus, we do not have such a modern contraption. We do offer the finest linens, most comfortable beds, extremely friendly staff and an excellent location. We will delight in seeing you again. All the best!

This boutique hotel is in the center of North Beach and is in walking distance to Fisherman's Warf and close to the cruise port. It is a unique hotel that has been around since the 60's and has maintained its decor and charm. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The only negative is the lack of an elevator, as all the rooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floor. However the staff helped carry my heavy luggage to my room. A nice touch was the complementary "sherry hour" between 4:00 - 8:00 pm for all the guests. If your not looking for luxury amenity filled hotel, this is the perfect place to stay. We loved our 3 days there touring San Francisco for the first time.

Thank you for being our Guest. We appreciate your kind words. We are a very historic property - actually, a Hotel going back to the 1880s - destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and rebuilt that same year. For the day, we were considered a luxury hotel, simply because each room has a private bathroom, which used to be a rarity. We focus on providing the very best in hospitality: an extremely clean room, excellent location and warm, welcoming staff. We are so happy you enjoyed you stay, and we look forward to welcoming you back.

The history of the area and hotel added to the experience, and we loved being able to look out over Columbus Ave. from our room. (We also loved being right above a great bakery!)

This hotel presents itself as a cute boutique hotel, but what it really is , is an old building with musty carpet, creaky doors, and very very basic amenities. The staff is not supportive and only available during the daytime so if you have any issues past the end of their shift, like I did, you're out of luck. O could go on about the issues I face during my stay (which I cut short as I couldn't stand to stay here more than one night) but I will summarize with a quote from the front desk staff: "you booked through expedia and their rates are so cheap, we usually don't assign expedia guests to the nice rooms"... If you're looking for a spooky vibe and are ok with very old and smelly buildings, go ahead and book, but request a room in the 2nd floor, apparently they are better than the ones on the 1st floor. I did eventually get a refund for my second night so at least that part wasn't a total loss. 0/10 do not recommend

Not to be missed
This is one fabulous hotel. Do not be intimidated as you enter. The first thing you see is a long set of stairs. Once you get your suitcase up there, you will realize you are staying in the best hotel location in San Francisco. Restaurants are all around. . . Italian, Chinese, seafood. This neighborhood has it all. Fisherman’s Wharf is a quick 15 minute walk. Robert at the front desk was friendly and professional as we checked in. Other front desk personnel answered any questions we had. I’ll be back!
