Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I always like to stay here when I'm visiting San Francisco, for two important reasons: (1) free self-parking, and (2) proximity to North Beach and the Wharf. The rooms are also comfortable and spacious. This time there was an added bonus: a nice view of the SF skyline out my window, with the TransAmerica Building, the Salesforce Tower and the Saints Peter and Paul Church in the distance. Downsides: (1) you can't plug a streaming device into the TV -- no HDMI port, and (2) the heater intermittently stopped blowing warm air into the room. Regardless, I would definitely stay here again in the future.

Clean room, good location with a good price. Parking was safe. Even though it’s next to a jazz club that I wish we could have enjoyed, the noise was not intrusive. Would book this again. It’s a nice place if you’re not looking for extra amenities like a pool or breakfast.
