I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel! The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived. Every morning, free coffee and hot cocoa were available in the lobby—such a nice touch. They also offered flavored water, which was refreshing and appreciated. There’s a washer and dryer on one of the upper floors, perfect for longer stays. My room came equipped with a microwave, coffee maker, blender, and fridge—great for preparing meals or snacks. The housekeeping team was also very kind and professional. The entire place felt clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. It truly felt like a five-star experience without the high price tag. I’ll definitely be returning next time I visit San Francisco—highly recommend!

Absolutely charming stay at Inn at the Opera! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel right at home—warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful. Special thanks to Zack at the front desk who went above and beyond when I struggled to secure a ride to the airport; his quick thinking and support ensured I made my flight on time. I loved having a kitchenette in the room—perfect for grabbing a quick meal or brewing coffee in the morning—and the water bottle refill station was such a thoughtful touch. The decor throughout the property is elegant and inviting, and its location is unbeatable: everything I wanted to explore was just a short walk away. I’d happily return again and again.

The stay at WorldMark San Francisco completely exceeded my expectations! The staff were incredibly kind and always eager to assist—whether it was checking in or just a quick question, they made me feel welcome. Even the housekeeping team was warm and attentive.

We stayed in Glasgow for a few days and stopped by this hotel for breakfast—had no expectations going in, but was pleasantly surprised. The menu options were somewhat limited, but the warm welcome and excellent service from Thomas made all the difference. He went above and beyond to make our morning special. It’s a hidden gem with a welcoming vibe, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone passing through.

On Friday, April 21st at 10:15 AM, a guest from another building at the hotel climbed over the fence between units 179 and 173, entered our private driveway area, then climbed over our fence and left toward Wiese Street, heading toward 16th Street. We immediately called 911. The situation was alarming and unsettling. While police responded promptly, the incident raised serious concerns about property security and safety protocols. It's important to note that making assumptions based on someone's background is not only inappropriate but also harmful. As guests, we expect the hotel to maintain a secure environment for all. We hope management will take immediate action to improve fencing, surveillance, and overall safety measures to prevent future incidents.
