Verified review

6/10 Good

Location is biggest issue here - its not a place you can feel comfortable walking outside after dark. Shame too because the building is an old classic and well maintained and staff very pleasant. But safety and security is a big issue so we will not return on subsequent SF visits.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Honestly, I should probably give this hotel all five stars. I gave it for only because I wish there were queen beds instead of full-size beds. But everything else was wonderful. I also did not think the area was bad at all. But we are from Portland so we're used to houseless people. Easy walk to Polk st for good food. A great bookstore down the street too. Mel's for breakfast hit the spot. The staff was so nice. Room clean and quiet.

Room was clean and nicely decorated. Bed was comfortable. But if you stay in room 319 make sure the window is secured because the heating\cooling system is right outside and it is vey loud.

Place felt like a boutique hotel without the price tag. Great location with lots of great food options nearby. Felt safe with key card needed to enter hotel, hallways and elevator. I would stay here again.

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice! Location is everything, and this was a medical visit for the hospital right across the street so very, very convenient. Staff very helpful, including when our stay had to be extended a day at the last minute-they were very accommodating, getting us another night and not having to switch rooms. The room was very nice, clean and comfy. And if you want to eat close-Tommy’s Joynt-a classic San Francisco Hauf brau-possibly one of the last remaining, is right across the street. The Mel’s kitchen on site is just OK… good in a pinch and a little pricey for that type of place even in San Francisco, but only in a pinch.

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.
