Great location - tiny bathroom

Very clean hotel. Central location. Tiny bathroom and small room (no A/C but not ready needed ). Daily room service and very friendly staff. Overall not a bad place to stay. There is no hotel parking but a parking garage is across the street for $40/day.

We had 3 nights at this charming B&B. Friendly and helpful staff and a clean, comfortable bedroom. A continental breakfast is served, plus scrambled eggs and either sausage or bacon. Parking is available across the road in a parking garage at $40 per night and you can take the car out once a day. The cable car stop is literally at the end of the block and is great for getting to Fisherman’s Wharf. A short walk to China Town. The area felt safe around the hotel. We enjoyed our stay.

To find if you want to experience an old-fashioned

Surprisingly well appointed rooms. It’s a very old building, but I loved the Steines of all the furniture and the cute old-fashioned. Caged elevator was a hoot. Very clean and comfortable.
