Art-inspired boutique feel with great staff.

The Courtyard Marriott on Van Ness is a wonderful hotel. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere has a charming, art-inspired boutique feel. The rooms are comfortable and well-designed, with bathrooms that feature beautiful tile work and glass shower doors. While the surrounding area does have some homeless individuals, I never felt unsafe or uncomfortable. This is mainly an issue at night, but using Uber or other rideshares makes it easy to avoid any concerns.

Hot in SF

Not a very nice location. Not convenient for parking. Staff was unhelpful. No one told us when we checked in that the hotel had catastrophic failure of their HVAC system or that there were fans available. Our room was horribly hot for our entire stay. Twice we nearly ran over people sleeping in the hotel gated entrance for parking. Usually Marriott is our go-to for stays, it might not be after this.

Everything was perfect other than our room was pretty warm. Not sure of we didnt set the temperature right, but we set it all the way down to 62 and its still warm. We have option to open the window, but it was too loud outside to do so. Other than that, we loved it.
