I have stayed here for 20 years, it was The Opal and it has been gorgeously remodeled but has all the things I love before. In and out enclosed parking, Mel’s Diner attached so food mostly anytime, comfortable beds👍, conveniently located at Van Ness and Geary Street so Ubers and cabs etc are easy. Tommy’s Joint an SF favorite for great food, beer and cocktails across the street. And a big movie theater practically next door. Very reasonable price for how nice it is now.

The room was charming, warm, and cozy—I had a very comfortable night there. The staff were exceptionally kind, even more so than at other hotels I’ve stayed at. I also loved the selection at the market. The local San Francisco ice cream was absolutely delicious. If you’re visiting downtown, this would be a great and interesting option to consider.

Parking lot was full at check in so had to park off-site.. Plan on finding parking near by and hope your car doesn't get broken into.. or see if they allow you to pre-pay for parking which I don't think they do.. room was clean staff was polite we were next to a loud room full of people and there was construction all night on the street so didn't get much sleep. Most likely will not stay here again as I only made the reservation because it said there was onsite parking, but they don't have enough spaces for their guests.
