Hotel Drisco

Hotel Drisco truly lives up to its reputation as one of San Francisco's finest boutique hotels. From the moment we arrived, every detail felt thoughtfully curated—elegant decor, impeccable service, and a serene atmosphere that instantly made us feel at home. The room was stunning, with luxurious bedding that offered an incredibly comfortable night's sleep. We were especially impressed by the breakfast—fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. Every element, from the quiet ambiance to the attention to detail, contributed to a memorable stay. The location is perfect for exploring the city, with public transit just steps away. We’ve already started planning our return visit. Thank you for creating such a special experience in one of our favorite cities.

My Rosegarden Guest Rooms

Staying here for two nights was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—quiet street but just a short walk from the Presidio, making morning strolls absolutely peaceful and refreshing. We booked a lovely top-floor room with great natural light and a comfortable layout. Our hostess, Kathleen, was warm, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. Each morning, she served a delicious and thoughtfully prepared breakfast that added to the cozy charm of the stay. After checking out, we realized we’d left behind a pair of earbuds. I reached out to Kathleen, and although they couldn’t find it right away, she had her team check thoroughly. Later, we got a message saying they’d found it in the laundry—and even shipped it back to us! That kind of care and attention to detail goes way beyond what you’d expect. It’s not just about comfort or cleanliness; it’s about hospitality with heart. I can’t recommend this place highly enough.

Infinity Hotel San Francisco, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

This was an absolutely wonderful stay! From the moment we arrived, everything felt seamless and welcoming. The hotel staff went above and beyond to assist with a last-minute booking change—no hassle at all. Their professionalism and genuine care made the experience truly special. The location is ideal, just steps away from everything we wanted to explore. One of the highlights was spending a quiet evening by the fire with friends who were staying at nearby properties—it was peaceful, cozy, and unforgettable. Every detail, from the thoughtful touches to the attentive service, made this trip stand out. I couldn’t recommend this hotel more highly.

Monte Cristo Bed and Breakfast

Staying at Monte Cristo Bed and Breakfast was an absolute delight. The historic building boasts a charming vintage aesthetic that truly sets the tone for a unique experience. Every morning, the made-to-order breakfast was fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared—truly a highlight of our trip. I also appreciated how always available tea, coffee, and tasty snacks were throughout the day and night, which made late-night cravings easy to handle. While there aren’t many attractions within walking distance, it’s still very convenient to stroll over to a nearby Target and a cozy neighborhood bar. Overall, the location is quiet yet accessible, and the warm hospitality made us feel right at home. A perfect blend of comfort, character, and convenience.

Cow Hollow Inn and Suites

I absolutely loved my stay at Cow Hollow Inn and Suites! The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped—definitely one of the best stays I've had in San Francisco recently. There’s a slight new-build smell from the furniture and wood, but it’s minimal and doesn’t detract from the overall experience—it actually adds to the fresh, modern vibe. The hair dryer was surprisingly powerful; it dried my hair in minutes, easily the strongest I’ve encountered in any hotel lately. Free parking is an absolute game-changer—can park until 4 PM on checkout day, so we could run errands or explore without rushing back. Both surface and underground parking are available, with the underground requiring just a swipe of the room key—no worries about car break-ins. The hallway and elevator access are also key-card only, which gives you that extra layer of security and peace of mind. The only downside? No laundry facilities on-site, but honestly, it’s not a dealbreaker. The neighborhood is fantastic—just a 2-minute walk to Peet’s Coffee, and there are countless great restaurants and cafés nearby. Pro tip: If you don’t want to be woken up early, hang the “Do Not Disturb” sign by 7 PM. The housekeeping staff knocks on every door around 8:30 AM with unwavering determination—very persistent, but kind of endearing in its own way!

Beck's Motor Lodge

Staying in the quieter back section of the property was a perfect choice—serene, peaceful, and completely free from any noise. The room itself was incredibly comfortable, with a cozy bed and just the right amount of space. It's also super convenient for getting into downtown San Francisco via public transit. The overall experience exceeded expectations, and I’d definitely book again. A hidden gem with great value!

The Laurel Inn, Part of Jdv by Hyatt

Our stay at The Laurel Inn was absolutely wonderful—quiet, comfortable, and incredibly well-located. The staff went above and beyond with their friendly, professional service; every interaction felt genuine and helpful. We booked a room with a small kitchenette, which made a big difference—having space to prepare light meals and enjoy coffee in the room added so much convenience and comfort. The neighborhood felt safe both during the day and at night, which made walking around easy and stress-free. It’s clear the hotel prioritizes guest wellbeing and experience. A standout choice for anyone looking for a peaceful, stylish stay in San Francisco. Would definitely return.

Hotel Del Sol

Staying at Hotel Del Sol in San Francisco was a fantastic experience overall. The location is excellent—right near the subway station, making it super easy to get around the city and reach popular attractions without hassle. The room was clean, well-maintained, and surprisingly spacious for the price. I slept really well on the comfortable bed, which was a big plus after long days exploring. Breakfast was a highlight too—varied options and good quality. What stood out most was the value for money. For the price, you get comfort, convenience, and great service. If you're visiting San Francisco and want a reliable, no-fuss stay with great transport access, this hotel is definitely worth considering.

Chateau Tivoli B&B

This place is absolutely magical—truly a hidden gem in San Francisco. The neighborhood is so peaceful and quiet, yet it’s still super convenient for getting around town. Street parking was safe and easy to find, though we had to move the car a few times due to local traffic rules—no big deal at all. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, especially Stace, who gave us thoughtful recommendations for must-visit spots. Every morning started perfectly with a delicious, thoughtfully prepared breakfast that set the tone for our adventures. It felt less like a hotel and more like coming home—warm, personal, and full of charm. I can’t wait to come back. This stay was unforgettable.

Stanyan Park Hotel

Absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is perfect—just a short walk to downtown San Francisco and easily accessible by Muni. The room was clean, cozy, and well-maintained, with a comfortable bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. Staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with anything I needed. I appreciated the quiet, peaceful atmosphere, which made it easy to unwind after a busy day exploring the city. Everything about this place felt thoughtfully designed—from the decor to the little touches in the room. If you're looking for a relaxing yet central spot to stay in SF, this is definitely a top pick. I’d happily come back and recommend it to anyone visiting.

Podshare San Francisco Marina

Staying at Podshare San Francisco Marina was a fantastic experience. The modern design of the sleeping pods creates a cozy, private atmosphere—perfect for a good night's rest. I was impressed by how clean and well-maintained everything was, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from public transit and downtown attractions. It’s an ideal choice if you’re looking for a budget-friendly yet comfortable stay in San Francisco. Would definitely recommend and come back again.

Mission Inn

We’ve stayed at Mission Inn multiple times over the years and always had a great experience—until this visit. We booked a single night stay to attend an opening event at the Riverside Art Museum next door, assuming we were booking directly with the hotel. To our shock, we were actually routed through a third-party booking platform (which I won’t name), resulting in a room price that ballooned from $349 to over $500 after taxes and resort fees. Not ideal, but fair enough—we made a mistake. However, we received a confirmation stating the reservation was “Prepaid and Guaranteed,” which should have been clear. When we arrived after a three-hour rainy drive from San Diego, we were told our room had been canceled the day before with no available alternatives. The front desk agent was unhelpful—and frankly, rude—insisting there was nothing they could do and telling us to contact the booking platform instead. We did, and they confirmed our reservation remained “Prepaid and Guaranteed” in their system. We returned to the front desk, only to be met with another dismissive staff member. After asking for the manager, we finally got confirmation: yes, our room was canceled. When we pointed out that the platform had guaranteed the booking and that the hotel, as the principal, should be accountable for its agent’s actions, they begrudgingly found us an available room—though it had a broken window. The entire ordeal took over 90 minutes, leaving us rushing to the 5 p.m. event instead of unwinding in our room after a long, stressful drive. To make matters worse, when we checked our credit card statement, we saw an additional $360 charge—bringing the total to nearly $900 for a room originally priced at $349. I suspect the hotel may have overbooked and selectively canceled third-party reservations to maximize profits at guests’ expense. During check-in, we even noticed another couple from San Diego facing the exact same issue. Bottom line: never book through third parties. If you must stay here, book directly—but expect indifferent or hostile service. My recommendation? Choose a different hotel nearby. Just visit Mission Inn to walk around the grounds—they’re genuinely beautiful and worth seeing.
