We have stayed at many hotels in SF, so for the price of this hotel, we knew it would be on the older side. My only complaint would be the shower. It was covered in black mold. Pretty gross! I will say the breakfast was pleasantly good and especially for the price that it was included in the hotel cost.

I’d say this hotel is “okay” for its price range. The place is very very very old and it looks like it. The sheets clearly have been used significantly and it shows/feels. There’s lots more they can do to renovate or just upgrade the place but for the price range it’s kind of expected. Friendly service at check-in/front desk.

The included breakfast was a bit poor. It was adequate, but the eggs didn’t look very appetising and the bacon was half overdone and half undercooked. The croissants were dry and not made with real butter. The hotel food is a long way from its ‘French” identity pretends. The room was incredibly comfortable with a lovely bed, and it was well maintained through the whole stay. A very clean hotel. The style is charming, as is the old lift/elevator. The staff are lovely and helpful. It has good facilities. It’s in a really lovely location- which is super important.

Great location - tiny bathroom

Very clean hotel. Central location. Tiny bathroom and small room (no A/C but not ready needed ). Daily room service and very friendly staff. Overall not a bad place to stay. There is no hotel parking but a parking garage is across the street for $40/day.

We had 3 nights at this charming B&B. Friendly and helpful staff and a clean, comfortable bedroom. A continental breakfast is served, plus scrambled eggs and either sausage or bacon. Parking is available across the road in a parking garage at $40 per night and you can take the car out once a day. The cable car stop is literally at the end of the block and is great for getting to Fisherman’s Wharf. A short walk to China Town. The area felt safe around the hotel. We enjoyed our stay.
