Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room was pretty spacious and clean. The ice maker on our floor wasn't working so we had to go to another floor for ice. Parking is tight and limited but we were happy to find a spot and used ride share so we didnt lose the space. They claimed there was a communal microwave but we got told otherwise when we asked to use one. It was an enjoyable stay.

Such a great property to stay at. We kept our vehicle safely parked for a couple of days while we checked out San Francisco. The virtual check in lady was so great, I wasn’t sure if she was AI at first and she had a good chuckle with me. We will stay here again when we come back.

Clean, quiet, helpful staff. I was able to walk (25 mins) to a business event near Fisherman's wharf and back each day. Also good for getting to the Marina area for walks. Old hotel but clean and good value.
