Excellent place to stay with some reasonable parking options and great service! We had no trouble parking during the weekend and had a quiet room away from the street. It’s a great spot if you’re mainly looking for a place to sleep and park. It’s also within reasonable walking distance (25 minutes) of the Fisherman’s Wharf with a nice walk along the bay.

The parking is very convenient, the room was super clean and since this is a hotel with a hallway, there was no outside San Francisco noise. The front desk people are very nice and polite. We look forward to staying there again. Thanks from Jeff Shulman
