San Francisco Hotels near Grace Cathedral

This hotel was a great value for San Francisco. All the other hotels in the same price range had frightening reviews. My boyfriend and I were comfortable throughout our stay.

Most reviewers mention that the rooms are small, but that wasn't so bothersome, as we literally were in the hotel just to sleep and shower. We would have liked if there were a small mini fridge (for leftovers and drinks) and a dresser, though.

The staff was great. Recommended a nice dinner and breakfast spot for us. Very welcoming and the atmosphere was very relaxing.

Showers had low water pressure. But other than that, everything was great.

That there was a bar right below us. I really liked to free breakfast and the staff was very nice!

There was nothing that I disliked :)

Loved the eclectic feeling of this hotel! The staff was super friendly and helpful. There is a big common space/ living room and 24 hour open snacks that gave us the comfort of being at home. The room was clean and comfortable and felt private. The restaurant below is open late with great food and drinks, the perfect place to come back to after long days roaming the city.

Friendly staff, comfortable beds, big rooms

free internet and free parking included in price

rooms are a bit worn down

The staff is helpful to my needs, but the location was a bit scary for solo traveler (gals)

Bed was rough, I had a hard time falling to sleep. The bed was so hard on the top bunk. Waking up with a stiff back! There weren't parking at site. I had to go a block away for it. It was an uneasy feeling to felt while traveling there.

Accommodation for backpackers only. If it is not you case, go find a hotel.

There was no parking area nearby the hostel after 9pm. The neighborhood is dangerous at night. If you are traveling by car, definitely do not park your car in the street. My car side window was broken during the night and my gps (which was hidden inside the car) was stolen. I was informed by hostel staff about the gang activities at the neighborhood only after the incident.

Not far from the city center

Hotel is not clean, Looks old, Have to wait hours for very slow elevators, Wi-Fi almost nonexistent, Showers are in poor condition They charge you 5$ for calling the front desk!!!

Bell hop and concierge is often rude. Lots of homeless outside on market St but they are harmless. Security guards make sure trey don't come in.

The location was good for exploring the mission district

First night there was a crime scene in the parking lot. Police everywhere dusting for finger prints. Next the walls were paper thin so you can hear everything happening next door from fights to people getting it on. People also hung around til 5 am screaming and smoking outside the doors in the hall way. No quiet hours were enforced. And finally, we opened up our door to a prostitute who had the wrong door number. Would never stay again.

It was really over priced for the an outdated room.

The front desk clerk was really rude seem to be racist. It's really uncomfortable for a African American student. It's not a safe place. I stayed in room 230 House keeping did not change my sheets in the four days that I stayed. The microwave and the T.V. could not work at the same time. The t.v. had to be turned off in order to use the microwave. There was water damage in the bathroom. I was in a non smokers room but the room smelled like cigarettes.

Parking garage is $45

Small restroom and no fridge

The staff and restaurant were excellent

Being a guest and having to pay extra for parking. Makes staying in the city to expensive because you don't really want to walk anywhere in that area at night

renovated bed rooms with nice decor & comfortable bed; clean close to Hayes Valley, a true SF neighborhood

currently under construction, paint works going on resulting in smells & noise; NOT disclosed on web site prior to booking! close to projects; doors are open during cleaning/painting and homeless people wandering around the lot, resulting in safety concerns; no safe in room bathrooms need renovation, stained tub and toilet; 70s decor night staff rude, seemed to have little hospitality training/experience

I like how the front desk guy told me, since I stay here so much I should know when they advertise free parking they mean some time or when available. But, I didn't know in fact it is the reason I stayed loyal to the motel. I feel more of an effort should have been made to keep my reservation, instead he shrugged me off and I un check in and stayed at the same if not better motel on Lombard for a lower price and parking for all there guests.

I didn't like the mis advertising of free parking. You should state limited free parking.

I liked NOTHING about this hotel. It doubles as an SRO locally and is rife with undesirables. I was kept awake by the couple in the room next to mine as they arguing over drug deals gone bad and I suspect the male in the room broke into my car which par.

The showers were filthy. I had to clean it out before using it. I really wanted to get my money back and go elsewhere. The room was non refundable. That is the only reason why I stayed. I hate this place and it has caused me to not to want to do business

Smelly carpets and room

The breakfast was one of the best "continental" breakfasts I have had. Don't miss the waffles!

A bit far from the main part of town.

Clean and conteporary.

Club on Ist floor goes until 2:30 most nights! Hard to get any sleep. I bought ear plugs and Melatonin to assist with my sleep...it isn't working. I'm writing this to you at 12:30 AM.

Refrigerator was very noisy.

The staff was friendly and helpful with any requests that we had. Housekeeping did a great job cleaning the room and restocking toiletries every day. Location was convenient due to a few local buses being nearby. Room had a fridge and microwave. Great thermostat. Did NOT encounter any pigeons at all unlike what others have mentioned.

-The bed is smaller than it looks in the pictures and the queen size definitely does not sleep 3. -The chair had stains on it and I was not comfortable enough to sit in it due to its appearance. -The exhaust in the bathroom was SO LOUD. It needs to be either upgraded or replaced.

Kitschy decor is cute, gives room a less sterile feel.

The hotel markets itself as boutique, but is actually owned by the Best Western across the street.

Helpful staff, comfortable bed.

I would have liked more extensive breakfast choices.

The location isn't terrible and the hotel is pretty cute. I think they must have raided an Ikea for the room decor. The parking lot isn't that big, and we had to pay $40 to valet at another hotel across the street. When we got to our room, we noticed it smelled funny and the carpet was wet under the window near the radiator. They moved us to another room which I think was a little smaller. The bathroom was unbelievably small, even for an older hotel. A larger person would have had quite a bit of difficulty getting ready in the mirror or using the toilet. Being that it was NYE, it was very loud. There were parties going on in other rooms and we could hear everything from loud music to couples having mediocre sex.

Be careful walking around at night, lots of homeless, not a great area. The idea the hotel is trying for is good. I like the bulk shampoo & soap dispensers.

The bed was small and uncomfortable, on a wooden crate of all things. We asked for pillows three times after waiting patiently between each request and housekeeping never brought them. The front desk was apathetic. Parking ends up being almost $40 in addition to the already way overpriced hotel room.

We were sight seeing and Bill gave us excellent advise on how to see the city. We had a late flight out of town and we were able to travel around town until early evening and they kept our luggage and arranged for our transportation to the airport.

I liked the location for travel purposes, however the tv in our room did not work. Took a little complaining before we were relocated.

Don't ever come here!

The decor

The staff was m

It's a place for homeless people

Location, and the staff was friendly. There was a slight problem with my reservation and the staff was pretty helpful to fix it.

Shared bathroom, which is REALLY small (only shower, no sink), you have a separate toilet, which is shitty as well, and a small sink in your room. Two separate faucets, and ry uncomfortable. We were four guys is a double bed room. Really tiny, no room for luggage, small beds. It's an OK place if you're staying for one, maximum two nights. Otherwise most definitely find something with at least a private bathroom, despite the slightly higher price.

- Staff, basically the one guy who ran the front desk the entire time I was there, very accommodating, friendly, and helpful. - Very close to downtown area and convention center - Takeout food and laundromat nearby, fairly large mini-fridge located in the room - Comfortable beds, two people could easily sleep on one - Decent Wi-Fi (though unsecured) - A pretty good shower relative to other hotels I've stayed at in the region

- Bring earplugs if you have trouble sleeping, fair amount of outdoor noise - Furniture was pretty worn and a little dirty - Area can feel a little sketchy late at night - No A/C, might want to keep that in mind if you're staying during a warmer month - Smallish rooms

Down town close

Things broken not working

Hotel has a nice out fashioned look to it. It was well maintained and clean. The hotel provided a very simple complimentary breakfast.

The hotel is located in a bad neighborhood so we didn't really feel safe walking outside it. The price was too high given the quality of rooms and location.

The set up of the hotel was great. There is a heated pool on the middle, with swimming up until midnight. You can still swim even when it very cold outside. All the room doors face each other, which makes for a fun, friendly atmosphere. The eatery on site is AMAZING! I'm not kidding when I say this, it was probably one of the best places I've eaten. It's filled with old record albums and has a cool, sexy vibe. My husband was playing in a show/concert that night so we were all able to walk to the Regency Ballroom...it's very close. To have free parking right outside so you have access to your car is almost unheard of and very convenient. This is the place for fun, and they do quiet everything down after midnight. Don't go here for peace and relaxation though. It is not for that. It's for fun swimming, good accommodations, location, eating and enjoying life. The staff was amazing and we really appreciated them being so nice and welcoming. They seemed genuinely happy to see us..for real! For a fun night out in the city this is now my go to place and if that's what your looking for this is the best spot. I also saw a bunch (I mean about 5 groups) of bachelorette parties. This a super place for that and for eating brunch or going out for drinks. Only drawback is it could use some minor updating, but not enough to not want to stay there. It's overpriced a bit but so is every place in SF. It's worth the money so get your bathing suit, or not, and go rock out!

The Friendly staff

It was slightly noisy, you could hear everything outside, but not bad enough to ruin your stay. There was also a lack of entertaining television channels.

Didn't know they would put a hold on credit card. Stairs and elevator was broken

No hot water for showers both mornings. Very loud, hard to relax and sleep. People talking loud, parking garage is below the rooms and not covered so you can hear people taking, car doors slamming, cats coming and going etc. The empty the garbage dumpster between 5am and 6am through the garage and that is very fricking loud. Walls are very thin and toy can hear people talking in the next room. Not a place to get rest and relaxation. Parking lot is small and you will most likely have to park on the streets which are full of homeless drunks and druggies.

Only dislike was the fluctuating water temperature while showering.

The staff was great! Also right by Rusty's Southern which is hands down the friendliest bar/restaraunt I have ever been to. The food was amazing!

Location - homeless people harass you for money early in the morning and after 9pm. They line up on Eddy and Hyde. Terrifying of you're a girl walking alone.

Amazing pizza place a block or two up. Location and staff. Clean sheets. If you plan to be out of the hotel ALL day and just sleep here, it's good.

Parking was HORRIBLE!!! Rundown, dirty. Didn't keep people quiet in rooms when they were yelling and laughing and loud till 5 in the morning.

the woman on the desk was extremely helpful and understood when we had to leave a day early.

This place is in the middle of the downtown area. It has many homeless and beggars and we felt unsafe, especially at night. Coming from NZ this was a culture shock and was difficult to come to terms with. However we were safe, car was untouched and all was well. This is entirely due to the great staff vigilance. I want to thank them.

The neibourhood is not so bad, like the guest reviews wrote. The Staff looks very criticly who enter the building. We feel us save.

Free parking. Walking distance to Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. Elevator to all levels, including parking garage. Cleaning service left us a bag of towels at our door even though we had do not disturb sign on door (most places skip cleaning when you have the sign up, but it was great they left us extra towels!). Wi-fi.

Parking garage looked sketchy with old mattresses/junk laying around. No microwave/fridge. Outdated.

The location was nice right in the civic center. The best part by far and probably the reason I chose this hotel was for the Parking. It's free guest parking! There's potential in this hotel to be something better but it needs a lot of updates.

The walls were paper thin, we heard music and regular conversation from the room next door at 2 am, I didn't want to complain - they weren't even being loud and obnoxious, just having normal volume levels of conversation - and yet you could hear it all! The room is outdated and furniture is not in great shape. Yelp wanted of bed bugs but we didn't encounter any! Still it isn't the kind of place where you would be surprised to find them. They should put some effort into making those hotel better - it feels like they tried to a decade ago and have since forgotten to keep it up.

Convenient location.

Decent rooms yet very noisy, bed was not the most comfortable and a broken elevator.

Staff was very accommodating. Close to Bart and two miles from fishermans warf.

Little bit of a rough area. No tv remote. The shared bathroom is a little weird but not terrible.
