Interesting hotel. Clean and efficient. Decent location. Room was right on the street, but the noise wasn’t too bad during the night. Would likely come back and stay again for the value.

My daughter and I recently stayed at the Grove Inn and found it very nice. There was consistent communication from the staff prior to check in (regarding access, parking, etc). The building is so cute, and very well maintained. The room was spotless. We also loved the convenient locations (we walked to Alamo Square to see the view, then walked to a nearby sushi restaurant and Salt and Straw). We would definitely stay again!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at The Grove Inn. The front desk agent was friendly and courteous, and the hotel itself was clean and well maintained. My room was exceptionally clean, the bed was comfortable, and the shower was amazing. I especially appreciated that it’s a small hotel with only a few rooms, located in a quiet residential neighborhood. The area felt safe, walkable, and very pleasant. I only wish I had been able to stay longer, but I will absolutely be booking again in the future.
