Our stay at Petite Auberge exceeded our expectations. The room was lovely and clean! Each morning we had a wonderful breakfast and the highlight of our trip was the afternoon Happy Hour from 5-7pm. We met so many wonderful people and thoroughly enjoyed comparing our days adventures with each other. The hotel is within walking distance of Union Square and Fisherman's Wharf. The staff provided us with a list of area restaurants and each one was great! I also want to commend the staff. They were so friendly and helpful. I have never been to a hotel where the staff was so friendly and geniunely nice. Sure the Hotel is old, but not at all outdated, and very well kept. We will definitely stay there again if we go to San Francisco.

Little soundproofing between floors, so kept awake by footsteps.
Rather run down, and needs refurbishment. On a noisy street, close to Union square. Ideal for shopping, but that's about all.
Room staff excellent. We were made to feel uncomfortable when my wife lit up a cigarette outside.

This is not the place to stay if you want a peaceful nights sleep! We were constantly woken up, either by really squeaky floorboards, clanking water pipes, the (really loud) sound when any neibouring room has a shower, and then finally by the maids being loud outside our door (for which they did apologise to be fair, but still!) It is very tired and in real need of an overhaul. Fine if you have low expectations but not if you like real comfort and peace & quiet.

From the moment we booked the room we were treated wonderfully. We were getting married in San Francisco and had heard great things about the PA. Our room was upgraded to a Deluxe King w/fireplace. They had champagne and chocolates waiting for us along with 2 teddy bears to keep. Every single employee treated us as royalty, or better yet as their family. Their breakfasts were wonderful and so was their afternoon wine and cheese. The hotel was so homey and comfortable it was indeed like being in a French Countryside Inn. Our room was delightful. Many, many thanks to all at the Petite Auberge .. especially, Anna, Mary, Tina, Andy, the day desk clerk whose name escapes me and manager Eric. These wonderful people and anyone else whose names I didn't get, made this a wedding and honeymoon we'll never forget. We will be back each year to spend our anniversary with you.
