Spontaneous stay
Parking is always an issue in SF and at the time of our arrival, hotel parking was full but there was public parking around the corner. It's an older hotel but kept up very nicely. Super clean, spacious, bed was so comfortable. Bathroom was huge and nicely decorated. Good value for the area, but factor in the cost of parking. Would stay here again!

Awesome! The only downside is the location, but considering San Fran is such a massive city it's all relative. Everyone there was EXTREMELY nice and SO very helpful. Breakfast was enjoyable every morning, and complimentary coffee is never a bad thing!!!!

Good Value Business/Personal Getaway
Although a bit further from where I thought I would be - access was easily obtained by taking the bus. The hotel staff was very pleasant and accommodating. The room was adequate, comfortable and great value for the price. I would definitely stay there again.

Excellent staff
I dealt with three different people at the front desk. All were excellent. Service obviously is a priority here. Having an adjacent Mel's diner is a big plus.

Great hotel - clean and convinient
We were looking for a comfortable (and clean!) hotel with convenient location. Opal is 15 min walking distance from the Union square which make is almost perfect. There are also multiple bus stations to travel anywhere in town. The rooms are on the smaller side but very clean and quiet. For the 3 nights that we spent there did not hear any noises from neighbors or outside. Great security - you have to use your room key to get in and there is always somebody in the hall. Also GREAT breakfast and 24 hour tea/coffee in the lobby. The only downfall is pricey parking (it was $35, while in the AMC next door the parking is $24/day), but it was expected in San Fran. Definitely coming back next time I am in town!

Perfect night out!!
The Opal is a gorgeous hotel w/the added bonus of a Mel's Diner downstairs. The room was just what I needed for my one night stay in the city. The cute key shaped cards made an impression too. The staff were so helpful and cheerful with every request. I will always stay here when I need a place in SF!!!
