Found a gem with this one when we came across Columbus. Fast friendly check in, nice spacious & clean room, good location not far to walk to Pier 39 and other attractions, also close to Cable car stop and has free parking too which made this great value accommodation. About the only slightly negative comment would be if you want a fridge in your room as I don’t believe they have them, wasn’t one in ours but even so this will still be our go to when we next visit San Francisco again, it was fantastic.

This is our first time to stay in this Inn and probably will not be the last time. Would like to keep this place secret to everyone else but for an honest review. The location of this place the free parking is just no brainer. We travelled in EU most times and we never look at how new or fancy the hotel is but the location and where it sits at. This one is in pretty good spot. Clost to Chinatown where my wife would like to eat. City center is walkable for my son to enjoy his love for modern architecture and Lombard street/ Coit tower/ Fishermans wharf are within 5-10 min walk. Hopefully this place stay the same way as is. And for nexr year I’ll book earlier.

The room was very spacious and clean. The bed was comfy, the water tasted fine, the staff were friendly, and my car was safe in the garage for a week. The location is also pretty great since it's near stuff and accessible to transit, including the cable cars.
