“Incredible! We want to move in!”

Inn San Francisco

Aug 12, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

My boyfriend and I spent 3 nights at the Inn recently and our stay at the Inn made our trip to San Francisco 10 times better than it would have been otherwise. We loved the Inn so much we wanted to move in! We even tried to postpone our flight and stay another night but sadly they were booked. The Inn is gorgeous, very clean, and Marty and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We walked to Union Square during the day (30-45 min), walked all over the city, took the trolley, and took cabs at night. The breakfast was delicious and we even brought a tray up to bed one lazy morning. We adored the parlor room, the sherry, the quaint garden and jacuzzi that we used several times, and the rooftop views of San Francisco are amazing! Our room was beautiful and spacious and sharing a bathroom wasn't even a big deal. All in all, we couldn't get enough of this place and have told everyone we know that they have to stay here the next time they are in San Francisco! We will definitely be back.

“Not for everyone...”

Inn San Francisco

Aug 6, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

This place is not for everybody... do not think Queen Victoria (English) victorian, but more of an ecclectic Munster-like atmosphere... dark and dimmly lit, overly decored with dark colours.

I stayed at the Inn for 2 days, which for me was one day too many... one night was interesting, but the second night became more of a burden than a pleasure.

As I needed to "try out" the accomodations for a corporate event in Sept, I made a point on staying in 2 separate rooms, one for each night (one facing street, and the other facing rear).

The Inn is located on a main thoroughfare (very busy street). Ask for the rooms facing the rear. I wear earplugs at night and can sleep through a war, so for me it did not matter.

The rooms are large and irregularly shaped. The decor is ecclectic and there are knick-knacks everywhere (however, very clean, not dusty)... very dark and dim light in all of the common rooms.

The mattress was vintage San Francisco 1880... enough said.

Good breakfast... lots of fresh fruits and bakery items, fresh juice.

I ate the breakfast on one of the sofas and conversed with another one of the guests.

In summary, interesting for one night (just to look & see)... too expensive for more time... I found better (and sunnier) b&b's elsewhere in SF.

    • Liked — Interesting Munster-like surroundings... I looked to see if "the Thing" was under the bed...!
    • Disliked — Price/value ratio... location not great... mattress was not very firm... no Wi-Fi.

“Exceeded All Expectations!!”

Inn San Francisco

Jul 11, 2008
0/1 found this review helpful

Date: July 11, 2008
Reviewer: Business Woman, Mom and Regular Traveler, Toronto, Canada
The Inn San Francisco truly exceeded all expectations. The Inn is just like walking into Edwardian or Victorian splendor. High ceilings, beautiful antique decor and very romantic. The rooms are spotlessly cleaned and presented with care and attention being paid to every last detail. The owner and the manager are lovely, friendly people who are very helpful and very accommodating. The breakfast buffet is scrumptious, the roof top patio view of San Francisco breathtaking, the hot tub and gardens relaxing and the wireless and cable services reliable. Access to public transportation is just around the corner. Everything is so luxurious but so comfortable. It's just like being at home except better. Everything at the Inn is so reasonable. Honestly, I couldn't imagine staying anywhere else whether on business or for pleasure whether traveling with colleagues, friends or family. A fabulous experience that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a great place to stay in San Francisco.

“The Only place to stay in SF!!!”

Inn San Francisco

Jul 2, 2008
0/1 found this review helpful

This B&B is the best! EVERTHING about this place is just too perfect. Quiet & Romantic old San Francisco charm. The bed was very comfortable, the prices are reasonable, the staff is GREAT and they serve a nice breakfast with a huge stread.

Fred (manager) was very nice and gave us great directions around the city and helped us take advantage of city transportation. Marty (The Inn Keeper) was very friendly and warm. He made sure that we were very comfortable. He had family visiting and we got to meet them and visit with his niece Kathy who was a gem.

The rooms and the garden are very relaxing and I would recommend this B&B to everyone. You must go and see! Give Marty a great big hello from his new friends!
