Our bedroom is clean. The breakfast was ok. We know that it’s an old hotel so we understand that it’s a bit rundown.. that was ok with us. What we don’t like is there are lots of homeless people around the area and they were so noisy at night. We barely slept because of that.

Hotel is described as historic and it is sadly in need of a makeover. Water pressure was poor, no AC, bathrooms are so old with rust. Very noisy area as well as lots of homeless who loiter in doorways. The staff do their best to accommodate although the day we arrived the City was repaving street in front so there was no where to pull up and unload. They directed us to the parking garage 3 blocks away to self park and carry our luggage back. Their breakfast buffet was uninviting with yogurt, apple, and store bought pastry. Dont bother staying here!

Lots of local options to eat at. And they are open late too! It may get a little noisy outside the hotel but you can ask for earplugs if you want them. It's a historical building so beds might be a little creaky but otherwise, staff were friendly and the place was clean. We also did valet parking for 2 nights and no problems.

This was a very nice property! Loved the rooms and bedding. Very comfortable. SFO is noisy city so it's not hotels fault. It's the city life. Management and staff was very attentive and the continental breakfast and coffee was just right. I will definitely come back again. Thanks to manager Victor.

Hotel was good, clean, spacious and accommodating. However the neighbourhood noise was disturbing to sleep and peace of mind. Litterally had to dodge feces on streets and visible drug use of street people. Unfortunate. Great theatre and excellent restaurants one block over.

Our family of 6 had a lovely stay at the Beresford Arms! Our room was very spacious, just what we needed for 3 adults & 3 kids. The bathroom was large, beds comfortable & kitchen was super handy. Staff were friendly & very helpful when organising activities. Housekeeping always kept up a lovely supply of clean fresh towels & bins were emptied daily. Wine & cheese hour was super delightful. Yes its an old building, but we very much enjoyed our stay here & would stay again.Thankyou

The hotel was super clean and convinient, there is a delishious izakuya restraurant right across the street. Our room had two beds with vaulted ceiling and separated kitchen with fridge, stovetop and oven, toaster, kettle, mugs, plates, utensils and glasses.They are serving breakfast(loved the croissants) and snacks in the evening with wine, crackers and cheese. The hotel is super clean, but plumbing needs updating. Dirty around the hotel and riads had constructions.
