We stayed at the Mayflower Hotel for five nights at the end of our California road trip, and it was absolutely perfect. The hotel offers a free private parking garage—a real lifesaver in San Francisco—but be aware that the entrance is quite narrow. We managed to get our Toyota RAV4 in thanks to my husband’s sharp eyesight! Housed in a beautifully preserved historic building, the lobby has an elegant, timeless charm. Our room on the 6th floor (room 604) faced the main street—while the bed was a bit smaller than expected, the room itself was spacious with an enormous walk-in closet. The bathroom could use some modernization, but everything was clean and well-equipped, and fresh linens were delivered daily—though we did notice the sheets weren’t changed during our five-night stay, which was a small concern. Staff were warm and welcoming, and the two vintage elevators added such a unique character to the experience. Breakfast was included and offered a lovely continental spread: toasted bread, deli ham, cheese slices, jam, muffins, fresh orange juice, and coffee—the ideal way to start the day.
