Fantastic Stay Near Alamo Square!

easy check-in friendly staff clean room thick towels
I loved the super easy check-in! The staff was fantastic and communicated everything clearly. The room was clean and the bed reminded me of a cloud. Thick towels added a touch of luxury. It reminded me of a hotel in Venice!
Parking proved a minor challenge since streets offer only two-hour parking or require permits. I used the recommended garage five blocks away. It was safe but not super convenient.
Service
10/10
The staff provided numerous recommendations for breakfast and dinner spots. They displayed what activities occurred that week. I tried a few suggestions. I found each to be great. Mark especially went out of his way to ensure my comfort.
Rooms
9/10
Room #12 faced the street and had a very comfortable bed. Super comfy pillows made it even better. The room had coffee and the bathrooms were immaculate. I could see that the rooms matched the pictures online.
Dining
9/10
I had dinner across the street at one of the best French restaurants in the states, it was an experience, just like in Toulouse! The food was very nice, I especially loved the sauce.
Location
10/10
The location proved excellent. I found it just around the corner from the Painted Ladies and my favorite Alamo Square park. It provided walking distance to the city centre, City Hall and museums. A bus stop sits right across the street.
