Wonderful stay at the Layne

The layne was a wonderful stay, Randy was very helpful and friendly. I enjoyed my stay very much and if in the area again I will stay here again. It is also a very good location close to all points of interest. I loved the old elevator as well so would definitely recommend staying here.

I love the Layne Hotel! This place has character and I liked the location. If you like SF, you will like this hotel. It is family operated and I felt extremely safe and welcome during my stay. My colleague and I were able to walk to the convention center daily from here, but it is a good place to start any adventure.
