This is our first time to stay in this Inn and probably will not be the last time. Would like to keep this place secret to everyone else but for an honest review. The location of this place the free parking is just no brainer. We travelled in EU most times and we never look at how new or fancy the hotel is but the location and where it sits at. This one is in pretty good spot. Clost to Chinatown where my wife would like to eat. City center is walkable for my son to enjoy his love for modern architecture and Lombard street/ Coit tower/ Fishermans wharf are within 5-10 min walk. Hopefully this place stay the same way as is. And for nexr year I’ll book earlier.

The room was very spacious and clean. The bed was comfy, the water tasted fine, the staff were friendly, and my car was safe in the garage for a week. The location is also pretty great since it's near stuff and accessible to transit, including the cable cars.

It was totally fine. Better than expected actually. You look at the pictures and think it’s going to be all rundown, but aside from some old style (not old) furniture and ghastly (but excellent condition) bedding, it was a fine place to stay and super convenient.
