The staff at the Charles was extremely friendly. We felt right at home and all of our needs were met. We loved the look and feel to the inn. It's very walkable to Lighthouse ave and to the beach as well.

Beautiful lodgings, great atmosphere, delicious elevated continental breakfast, delightful wine and cheese served in the afternoon; which is an excellent way to meet the fellow guests. Ian and Kiersten are the perfect hosts, full of town knowledge and recommendations. The Charles is close to the Presidio, Cannery Row, Fisherman's wharf, beaches, great restaurants, coffee shops and boutiques. Our son is stationed at the Presidio, so we will definitely be back and will stay at The Charles!

The Charles was a delightful find! It was beautiful, with lots of books and nice jazz playing. The proprietors were very friendly and helpful. The charcuterie board and the breakfasts were artfully designed, very healthy, and delicious. The bed was extremely comfortable and relaxing. We are looking forward to a return visit
