Super cute, clean and quiet. The breakfast buffet had delicious scones, muffins, and Danishes. Might be hard to walk up flights of stairs with a suitcase and thought they should have had plates for the muffins and an alternative to Tea and Coffee - maybe juice - for the continental breakfast.

The location is wonderful… close to State Street and within walking distance of the Arlington theate, the court house, the presidio and many fabulous restaurants. We also took a Lyft to the newer ‘ Funk Zone’. Great vibe there.
