Stayed with family and we had a nice comfortable 2-nights stay. Breakfast is a bit pricey for an area where pastry shops are accessible. Parking is very convenient since it includes in and out privileges. We’d stay again in the future and would recommend to friends.

Location is very central. Easy to park here and ride the cable cars, with the California St. Turnaround right on the corner, toward the Ferry Building, Chinatown, Fisherman’s Wharf, etc. The room was very nice, clean, great view, friendly staff. I used to live in the city and haven’t been back to visit very much because I stressed about finding safe and fairly priced accommodations. This was excellent and I’ll plan to be back here again on our next visit.
