3-night trip

10/10

The location of this hotel made it worth the stay. it's a few blocks from the Marina District with lots of dining and shopping. It's a little over a mile from Pier 39 and the Uber ride was quick to get there. There are 3-4 coffee shops easily walkable for breakfast. It is an older hotel with low water pressure and nothing fancy, but it is clean and serves its purpose nicely.

6/10

The parking garage is a nightmare. After struggling to park in the handicapped parking, we were directed to move into a handicapped parking spot tougher because of the size of our car. It’s a bare minimum room accommodation with zero bells and whistles and our view faced a wall.

Every staff member in this hotel is amazing, the attention to details and the care is top tier.
