Stressed
Knowing the person in the room next to me could see me in the shower and. I could see him in his bed on when I was in the bathroom completely stressed me out! I like the window open for air and ya !!
The staff were very nice and helpful -- found us a second room fan with no muss or fuss.
The area has so much to offer -- including a great coffee shop 2 blocks down!
The courtyard and flowers were absolutely beautiful, even at the beginning of fall!
Don't know when I'll be back this way, but would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Beds were wonderfully comfortable; bath was sparkling and had everything we needed!
We did NOT have a car, but they have parking if we had needed it.
I’ve stayed here several times and I have recommended people to stay here. Always a lovely experience. It definitely gives a vintage feel and I love the garden area. The location is great and there’s always parking that’s accessible. It’s near a lot of outdoor activities as well as some nice bars and restaurants.
the rooms are definitely outdated but still nice and clean. the parking is awesome, you get your own garage located below your room. tough to beat in the san fran area. staff was very friendly and helpful.
Love this cute boutique hotel with all the personal touches. Very quiet even though it’s on a busy street. Friendly staff and a nice dog run for the pup!

A quaint motel. Older furniture, but in good shape. No desk and the one chair was not very comfortable. The queen bed was very comfortable. No A/C, but being in SF, probably not an issue (usually). Near the very busy Lombard Street, so noise can be a concern. Located in a great area with many, many restaurants and bars.
