Positives: I

Negatives: I couldn't find anything to control the temperature of the room. It got much too hot for me during the night when the heater automatically came on.

All we wanted was a place to sleep while we were seeing the city and for that this hotel was good. The room was nice and clean. The bathroom was clean. The morning food was good and plentiful. Inside the hotel is actually quite charming and the staff was very friendly.

Positives: The staff was very friendly and the room was nice.

Negatives: The room we had was right over a main street, but it was not too bad and did not disturb our sleep at all.

I would of been better with a different breakfast setup, same thing all the time!

Positives: Everything close by.

Negatives: Needs some repairs on broken window latch.

More than met my expectations as a moderately priced hotel in downtown SF. Only unpleasant experience could be finding a place to park nearby though I eventually discovered places on Bay St the two nights I was there so even that was OK. Some people might be put off by no TV though I found the free Wi-Fi more than kept me busy.

Positives: Simple and comfortable, free Wi-Fi.

Negatives: Parking difficult in this area.

Negatives: No parking.

Clean room with some character in a nice location. Rooms on Lombard are noisy. Ice machine is very noisy. Neighbors can be heard talking through the walls. The beds are squeaky. the bathroom is very cramped. The front desk could be friendlier.

Positives: Location and breakfast room.

Negatives: Noisy neighbors and squeaky beds cramped bathroom.

Negatives: Traffic.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 13 Mar 2009 rated 10 out of 10.

Its a pleasant place to stay while you are away from home, and its home while you are there. The staff is pleasant, the other guests are friendly, and its within walking distance of pretty much everything around town, so an automobile would be a hindrance, unless you set up parking beforehand.

Positives: The professional friendly service, and clean atmosphere, and centrally located.

Negatives: Parking, should have coffee shop on the corner opened up.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 10 Dec 2008 rated 7 out of 10.

Location. Very good value for the money. Not luxurious, but comfortable &amp; clean.

Positives: Budget yet comfortable &amp; clean accommodations in a central location.

Negatives: Street noise was loud.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 03 Dec 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

I definitely recommend this hotel for any traveler. It has a very comfortable feel and is very remote to many attractions in San Francisco. Public transportation circulates in front of the Inn, so I was able to park my car by the Inn for free all weekend.

Positives: The hotel had a very comfortable feel. I like the safety that you must have a key to enter the inn after 9:00 p.m.

Negatives: The towels were a little old and one had a small hole in it.

Centrally located hotel in the Marina District of San Francisco. Parking is difficult but street parking can be found after 15 minutes. I lived in this area for 10+ years and enjoy it for nightlight, restaurants and scenic views of the Golden Gate Bridge. The hotel is perfectly acceptable, clean and safe.

Positives: Great value for the cost.

Negatives: A little outdated with older amenities.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 17 Nov 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

This is an older hotel with relatively small rooms, but my daughter and I found it comfortable. Had problems with noisy room at first but staff solved it by giving us a different room. They let us in before check-in time and kept our bags for us after check-out. Breakfast was limited. The busline which runs near here goes to most of the well-known sights in SF.

Positives: TV, location, easy bus access.

Negatives: Breakfast was limited, limited public space, small rooms.

We didn't sleep too well as there were no rooms with double beds, but just a single one. Every move we made was felt by the other, and with the additional noise coming from the street (single glass window) that didn't provide with a comfortable sleep. I had some pizza that I wanted to heat up but there was no microwave available, not even at the front desk, just one for breakfast but that's not the right time for pizza. It was a true pain to find parking, I've been driving around the blocks for longer than 45 minutes more than once and the garages in the area are quite expensive. The breakfast offering was quite poor as well, just a few muffins and bagels, I couldn't find any bread.

Positives: Convenient location downtown.

Negatives: No double beds! Difficult parking, no microwave, breakfast poor, noisy!

It was in a great area walking distance from all major events. Hotel room and bed was a little scary at first glance. Sheets were old and not appealing. Made you afraid to lay down because you were afraid of what you might find on or in them.

Positives: The customer service was good.

Negatives: The rooms were not to my liking.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 21 Aug 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

A clean, nice 2 star hotel in a good location.

Positives: The room was clean and quaint as was the breakfast room.

Negatives: Lombard street was way too noisy. The staff wasn't friendly.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 04 Aug 2008 rated 6 out of 10.

This hotel is quaint and located in a great neighborhood. There are many moderate to upscale restaurants within walking distance. If you like to jog, the hotel is a short distance from one of the nicest places in the city to jog. Parking is a hassle if you try to park on the street; however, there a couple of parking garages nearby.

Positives: I enjoy the Marina District very much. You can walk to a variety of restaurants filled with locals.

Negatives: Lack of parking. Proximity to Lombard Street.
