The queen size bed is small for us; they don't have King size, people were nice, the hotel had a smell when you first arrive and also the sofas in the room, other than that was very good.

We had a great time staying at the Grove! The area was phenomenal with a lot of great walking areas, neighborhoods, restaurants, and bars. The only thing that was inconvenient was that our water pressure in the shower was nonexistent. It was at a very slow drip, which made it hard to use.

Great location

We loved this location, walking distance from the Painted Ladies, Alamo Square park, and restaurants. We had no problem finding street parking within 1 block of the property. The place was like staying in a private residence, very cozy and clean. We will go back.

Kind & convenient

Amazing stay! This is the exact kind of place you want for a weekend getaway. Walkable neighborhood, on the bus line, comfortable bed, nice bathroom. Corner stores for snacks & beverages. And the HELD our bags, even after check out on a rainy day- so we could run across town and get to an event. Very kind & convenient.
