Love everything about this hotel, it’s not fancy but has everything you need and great amenities. You can tell they care about the property because they are constantly fixing and updating everything. Our family has been coming here forever and it’s our home base in SF. Love the garden and the rooftop area at every season.

The room was impeccable, rates were reasonable, a bit of road nice but I slept well in the comfortable bed. It is an interesting, older building that was refurbished tastefully.
