The parking is very convenient, the room was super clean and since this is a hotel with a hallway, there was no outside San Francisco noise. The front desk people are very nice and polite. We look forward to staying there again. Thanks from Jeff Shulman

Clean and convenient
The room was clean and we had enough room. They advertised breakfast and they said they stopped doing that last year. That was one factor why we chose that hotel. So that info needs updated. Even showed pics of breakfast being served.

Excellent place, truly a gem.
The room was clean and spacious. Front desk staff were very friendly and efficient. Free parking was nice obviously but the parking area was clean, well-lit, and on-site which in SF is truly impressive. The garden is tranquil and lovely. Will stay here every time om in the city.
