We loved our stay at the Clocktower Inn. It's a cute and unique hotel with convenient access to the Mission and the quaint, walkable downtown area. The room was clean and quiet. The breakfast/coffee was simple but better quality than other places we stayed. Parking on site. We were only here for one night but would have gladly stayed longer.

Disappointed Do you have photos of the bathroom?

It seemed rundown and was maybe the equivalent of a motel six. I was surprised at how little was offered for the price that we paid.

Parking nightmare

Everything with the stay was great but some parked so as blocking the drive way and we had to back out of drive way onto to busy street with limited vision hitting curb twice trying to get out safely. Several hours later the car had still not been moved or addressed.
