Stephanie Mica Umali

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Staff were kind and helpful during check in and check out. However parking was difficult; it might’ve been because it was a holiday weekend or weekend in general but we had to park on the street because all slots were taken. The amenities in our room are outdated and not the best (air conditioner/heater, shower pressure, mattress was hard). Room and bathroom were spacious though. Walkable distance to dining options and in the middle of many points of interest.

Such a great property to stay at. We kept our vehicle safely parked for a couple of days while we checked out San Francisco. The virtual check in lady was so great, I wasn’t sure if she was AI at first and she had a good chuckle with me. We will stay here again when we come back.
