Nice little hotel...
Cute hotel, great location - particularly for access to Embarcadero/Ferry Building. The bathrooms are tiny! The sink is in the bedroom, not in the bathroom. I was traveling solo, so it was fine for me - but I think if it was me and my partner, it would be too tight for the 2 of us.

Nice Stopover
For a one-night visit to SF for a family event, it was very nice. Easy to get to, check in was breeze, room was very good, everything as advertised. The lack of parking was an added cost but I new it going in.

Great stay
We’ve stayed here before last year and it looks like they’ve done a remodel to the rooms since. We had the one bed and suite and it was very spacious with a nice patio. Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful

Great little hotel. Felt safe as a solo female
Great stay, right by the Bay Bridge. Hotel was good, bed was super comfy. Everything was clean. The restaurant attached was lovely and the food was great.
Only con is that there was no conditioner in the bottle in the shower but I had my own so it didn’t really matter.

A very average place. Don’t bring a service animal. They make it difficult. It’s not cheap and has seedy hallways and janky elevators. Rooms are renovated, but something isn’t right.

Maybe keep looking in the area. This place is okay if you get a cheap deal, but their normal prices are absolutely not worth it. It's an old shabby hotel that has renovated the rooms. Furthermore, they claim to accept Service Dogs, but they make the process very complicated and follow you around like a hawk afterwards. Not pleasant. The bar downstairs is okay—some quirky fun bartenders. I say book The Harbor Court—next door, same pricerange, and way more pleasant.

Great bed and pillows, a lot of walkable shops including oracle park.
Was charged a $20 convenience fee after room was paid for.
