Friendly staff

A really friendly welcome from Isaac on reception on our arrival got the holiday off to a great start. The room was large and very comfortable. All the staff were friendly particularly the guys at the front door. We ate in the Blue Mermaid restaurant which had a wide choice of food and drinks and had great atmosphere. Location was great close to Cable cars, Blazing Saddles bike rental and only ten minute walk from Alcatraz tour boat. All in all an excellent hotel for a short tourist stay in San Francisco.

Great hotel at San Francisco prices. Our friends and we enjoyed our rooms on the top (fourth) floor. We traveled via the SFO airport, BART, and Lyft / Waymo / cable car. If you use the cable car, go to the Beach and Hyde terminus. Our room needed new batteries in the heating / AC controller and they replaced batteries quickly. Remember to press the Privacy button when leaving your room unless you want housekeeping. Suggestion: consider a second folding luggage rack so that both people can store their luggage

We had a great stay at this hotel. It was close to all of the fisherman‘s wharf attractions, and lots of great restaurants were nearby. The hotel itself is very clean and modern. Early check-in was available for us which was an added bonus. We would definitely stay here again!
