Looking for a hotel in the Presidio area of San Francisco? Stop looking and make a reservation at this fantastic B&B. The breakfasts, snacks, fresh cookies, signature chocolates were wonderful. Thank you to Jack for the outstanding hospitality. As Arnold would say, “I’ll be back!”

This hotel and its staff have really thought of so many details that make your stay so comfortable. They gave us water bottles upon arrival, helped us set up a spot to take a meeting in their lobby (and even turned down the lobby music), they have a cute little cutlery stand by the food delivery table so if you order Uber eats and they forget the cutlery (as they do) you are set. Every single employee was genuinely kind and helpful. Would 1000% stay here every time I come back to San Fran!

Great hotel. Nice personnel. Good price (by SF standards), nice big room, comfortable bed, and spacious bathroom. Hotel atmosphere was good and cozy. Location is good; close to the busy city center (union square etc), but located in a street which is a little bit more quiet/nicer. Easy to walk to other neighborhoods from the hotel. Breakfast is okay, nothing special but fine.

Central location. Good price compared to other properties in SF. Reasonably clean. The diner next door is a good place for breakfast. The hotel itself was quiet, although there was a little noise from the street. The room was equipped with a hairdryer, and an iron and board, which you wouldn't necessarily expect at that price point. The staff was friendly. It's all in all a good budget option. I would probably go back if travelling alone.
