Having finally stayed at the Parker Guest House as...well...guests...my wife and I can say with…read morecertainty that this is one of the best B&B-style hotels anywhere, not just in San Francisco. Centrally located, clean, cozy, quaint, and operated by friendly and competent staff (full disclosure: two of the staff are friends of ours, but they were NOT working during out stay), with the comfiest bed I have ever slept in, at any hotel, anywhere. There are tons of additional perks that come with booking a room here, and I am sure I missed many others, but the nightly "wine hour" (5:30PM - 6:30PM) is a great time to relax, and socialize with your party, or other hotel guests, either in the naturally-lit dining area, or any of the multiple patio areas (either up front with the fountain, or in back among the gardens and manicured private yard), while sipping on wine and nibbling on a self-serve charcuterie. There's brandy available in the library at night, should you be so inclined (re: I was), as well as a grand piano, if you fancy yourself a keysmith (re: I do not). Breakfast in the morning consists of many continental favorites, and appears to be a mostly DIY affair, although my wife and I were engaged otherwise, so I can't say for certain. Check out time is at noon, which is another added bonus! It's easy to forget that you're in the center of one of the world's largest cities, when staying at Parker Guest House: it's quiet, clean, serene, and a welcome respite from the chaos and clamor of a major metropolis, and was probably the most relaxing way to end what, for us, was a sudden, hectic and stressful impromptu trip to California. When we finally checked out and headed for home, it was probably the first time during the whole trip we felt rested and refreshed, and I think that says more about this place than any number of stars on a review ever could.

This seemed to be the nicest over night stay near a Sundance film festival event at the Roxy…read moreTheatre. I wanted someplace close by since I was a lone female. There was not a lot of choices for my situation. PGH showed excellent ratings on my search engines. It looks like they've converted two Victorian houses. They have fixed them up nicely. I was told there was 19 rooms. The landscaping is pretty and there are some parts of work in progress. What really won me over was a call to Dennis; the front desk person. I talked to him inquiring about a room. The only room they had available was room 22. The room was nice enough, but had a sour smell. I felt it might be coming from the carpet The manager said they had put some type of exterior flashing near my window, which might be the reason for the smell. The room was nice and faces the street. I say this because there is a train that runs on tracks outside my window; which I felt was pretty loud. I would suggest bringing some type of EarPods. I went to bed at 11:30 PM and I could still hear the train running. Also, I found it a little annoying that the private bathroom for this room was located down the hall about three doors down. I was informed that there were six other guests sharing the same hallway. I brought sweats instead of PJs in case I had to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. I had to lock my door, then go to the bathroom and unlock that, re-lock it and go back to my room and unlock that door. I would bring lanyard to attach the keys (they attached to a large cumbersome metal key ring) which would have made this process a little easier. They consider this property a boutique which is fine but I would've called it a bed-and-breakfast. I liked that they had a glass of wine and some light munchies for happy hour in the pretty living room. A typical continental breakfast was provided in the morning. If you are bringing a car, make sure to email and reserve a spot since there are only 4 parking places in the secured lot. Of course there's going to be an additional charge. The stay was OK since I was going solo and it was close to my restaurant, my entertainment venue. I felt it was in a pretty safe neighborhood. looks like there is street parking available.

They made us welcome immediately, with breakfasts that add to the charm and warmth of this B&B, While not in Downtown or the tourist locations, it beats the big hotels for service and consideration for your reason to visit. On our next trip, we are going to consider staying at My Rosegarden first.

I was about to write a long complimentary review when it dawned on me that I might better impart to…read morereaders the essence of staying a few nights north of Lake street in this charming, beautiful, and super quiet house by simply including a text that I sent to a friend who was asking about my stay at the Rosegarden Guest House---it follows: I am back safe and rested after a good Kona nights sleep. The trip, although short, was filled with good stuff-- friends, stories, memories, and a super fantastic B&B experience. The Rosegarden Guest house in San Francisco was simply "Badass" or as the kids say "Frosty" in every regard. Incredible, I mean incredible hosts, pleasant fellow travelers who provided quixotic and pleasant conversations. The interior design and home decoration was very "time period dreamy" and done by the hosts in an almost professional manner. I stumbled onto a gem! In terms of an enjoyable place to stay while in San Francisco. My Reunion was everything one hopes for in those situations-- friendships renewed, memories revisited etc etc! I got to visit the old neighborhood which is nicer and better maintained than when I grew up there (with the exception of way too many parked cars) and that was heartwarming! I got to visit with my lifetime close friend Judy and her daughter Keila who is 8 months pregnant and that was sweet, moving and pleasant, I had the best Blueberry Pancakes of my life at a lunch in Sausalito --- what more can one hope for ? I will come over and we talk story about the trip! Aloha Dorn

The whole team was incredibly warm and inviting; the location is truly perfect - right near haight/ashbury; across from Golden Gate Park - (not to be confused with the bridge which is another part of town), and walkable to many other areas of SF such as the Castro and Hayes Valley. I lived in SF well over a decade ago and for some time and it was great experience to have stayed here upon my nostalgic trip. They have a HH Service with a nice setup and wines to gather and talk and meet people. I highly recommend!

Great location on the east end of Golden Gate Park…read more Spotlessly clean. I ran my finger along the floor by the tub--clean as a whistle, not even any dust. Two twin beds were comfortable with crisp, clean sheets. Tv worked fine. Clock was slow, but we noticed right away. Reported to desk and repair was noted. The food service in the late afternoon and in the morning was the best. Many choices, fresh fruit, cooked options, bakery items. Best self-serve breakfast at a hotel ever! There was no fridge, microwave or coffee maker in the room. However the lounge is always open for coffee, hot water, fruit and treats. Parked in public parking across the street. I thought it was a bit pricey, but this is in San Francisco! Will stay there again.

As a Hyatt Globalist member, I was greeted warmly upon arrival and the team took the time to explain all of my benefits. I was also welcomed with a thoughtful gift bag containing bottled water, snack mix and a handwritten note, which was a nice touch. One of the things I appreciated most was the easy self-parking. The garage was convenient, and I was able to find a spot on the first floor, making it simple to load and unload my luggage. My king room was much larger than expected and felt more like a studio than a standard hotel room. It featured a separate area with a microwave and sink, a comfortable desk where I was able to take work calls, plenty of closet space, dresser drawers, and a spacious bathroom with ample room to spread out. The hotel also offered freshly baked cookies and iced tea in the lobby, which made the property feel especially welcoming. As part of the Globalist benefits, I enjoyed complementary breakfast and access to the Jewish Community Center directly across the street (otherwise a $20/fee). It was a quick registration and won't have to repeat when returning. Since the hotel does not have its own fitness center, this was an outstanding alternative. The JCC offers a large gym with extensive cardio and strength equipment, fitness classes, and a swimming pool. It was one of the best hotel fitness arrangements I've experienced. The location is another highlight. I enjoyed walking to Starbucks, exploring the Presidio area, and browsing the charming neighborhood shops nearby. It felt like a completely different side of San Francisco compared to the busy downtown hotel districts. One evening after a work dinner, I stopped by the lounge for a light bite. The hummus, carrots, and celery were perfect. I also ordered the deviled eggs, which turned out to be a little too spicy for my taste. The bartender immediately offered an alternative and could not have been more accommodating or apologetic. Overall, this was a five-star stay. In fact, I may prefer the Laurel Inn over some of the larger Hyatt properties in the city. It offers a boutique feel, personalized service, easy parking, spacious rooms, and a fantastic neighborhood location. I loved being able to come and go easily without the hustle and bustle of a large downtown hotel. Plus, it was closer to my account I was visiting that day. Thank you to the entire Laurel Inn team for a wonderful stay. I look forward to returning!

This is a really nice, midcentury modern hotel in the Presidio. It's probably not for everyone,…read morebut we had a nice stay after the initial frustration with not getting into our room for most of the 1st day... We arrived at the hotel around 10:00 a.m. and our room wasn't ready. In the hotel's defense, they do have a 3:00 check in, but we were really tired after flying to San Francisco from Detroit. All we wanted was a hot shower and a bed. We'd been on the go since 2:00 a.m. eastern time. Anyway, the guy at the desk said the room wasn't ready, but we could make ourselves at home in the lobby. Hours went by. While the lobby is quaint, it's very small and the furniture isn't all that comfortable. Around 4:00, people were walking in and getting rooms. I went up and asked him what happened to ours, so he checked and again said it wasn't ready. I was on the verge of going off... I explained that someone (YOU, front desk guy) should have communicated to the housekeeping staff that the guests arrived early and our room should have been made a priority. We were in that lobby for 6 hours and now folks are walking in and getting rooms while we just sat. Miraculously (after inquiring/complaining), a suite was found, and we were upgraded to that room. The room was really clean. I found no marks on any of the woodwork, doorframes, etc. We had a microwave, a fridge, a wet bar area, etc. The staff (other than the initial front desk guy) was wonderful. My quibbles with the room are the water pressure in the shower was pretty lame and our TV kept buffering. I loved the toiletries, the towels were really nice, the bedding was very comfortable and the amenities in general were top notch. I did reach out to the front desk about the TV. The manager immediately investigated the issue, came to our room and explained that they have a new system and some of the bugs need to be worked out. She apologized emphatically and went on to explain that the company used to create the new changes wasn't available until the next day. We understood completely. We presented a problem and management did everything they could to fix the issue. That's all we can expect. Now, the good stuff!!! This hotel has the BEST COMPLIMENTARY COFFEE I've had in ages, available 24-7 in the lobby. It's just great coffee (illy coffee!!!). They also have AMAZING complimentary, fresh baked cookies at 3:00 each afternoon. My guess is they bake around 6 dozen cookies, and they're gone in 20 minutes! They also have complimentary tea (hot tea all day, iced tea in the afternoon when the cookies are served). The location is great, right down the street from a Michelin Starred restaurant. There's also a Turkish restaurant that was really great. It reminded me of my travels to Turkey. My relatives mentioned the Mexican restaurant is supposed to be amazing, but getting in is almost impossible... The little hotel bar is a really nice place to go and get a martini, glass of wine, etc. We had cocktails and guacamole. The entire place is really clean, and it has great artwork, great books to read in the lobby (not sure, but I bet if you asked, you could take one or two of them back to the room for a great read). The staff really seemed to care about our comfort and happiness (well, everyone except for that initial front desk guy). This is a great place in a great location. If you're looking for a 5-star resort setting, with 5 bars and swimming pools, move on. If you miss that old time feel of a nice little hotel that has everything you need, this is it.

Why not make a weekend of it? So I decided to stay at a hotel other than my usual and booked at the Inn at the Presidio. The Inn is charming, comfortable, and clean. The common areas were very cozy - it was a somewhat overcast to rainy weekend and was very cozy indoors. While I didn't partake of the wine tastings in the evening, I did enjoy the very nice continental breakfast in the morning. There are restaurants walkable from the Inn, one of which I enjoyed the first evening I arrived, and the walk from the Inn into the Marina neighborhood was an easy 20 minute stroll to restaurants and the Presidio Theatre, for an impromptu late afternoon after other plans went sideways. Staff were unfailingly professional and lovely, including quickly addressing one hiccup with my room. It was a fun, restorative weekend, and I plan to visit them again.

It's much smaller than the Lodge, and I liked that instead of a formal front desk counter, they have a more intimate set up in a side room, with someone sitting behind a desk and chairs for you to sit in while you check-in. Arcene was wonderful, explaining the hotel features and making us feel very welcome. The Inn is in a historic building and it is extremely well-built. The walls are thick, so you never hear your neighbors. We stayed in one of the suites, which has a separate seating area with a sofa bed - perfect if you're traveling with your kid. The seating area is quite spacious. The bathroom is big, as well. There's a Nespresso machine and bottled filtered water. Mini bar prices are surprisingly reasonable. They have wine and cheese every night from 5pm-7pm, including sparking pink lemonade for those not imbibing alcohol. Breakfast is also included - bread, cheese, meats, pastries, fruit, oatmeal, and hardboiled eggs, along with orange juice and grapefruit juice. There's a back patio area with a fire pit, so you can enjoy the outdoors. Parking is behind the Inn, closer than over at the Lodge. While there's no restaurant in the Inn, there are a couple of restaurants close by in the Presidio and sometimes there are food trucks around the grassy area. You can walk to the Marina, about a 20 minute walk to several good restaurants and shops. The Presidio Go shuttle takes you into downtown for free and leaves every half hour from the transit station. I love staying at the Presidio, to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The setting is gorgeous, and you can walk around the trails and down to the tunnel tops. Highly recommended!

The room is really the size of a suite, beautifully designed and recently renovated, with a private entrance and on the first floor of a Victorian home. The modern, warm decor makes the place feel like a movie set--in a good way. The bathroom is elegant, with high-end fixtures and tile, lots of fancy-girl shampoos and creams etc., and posh towels. It felt like a spa. The porch has a view of the Bay. Good wireless. The location is great. It is at the top of the Castro St. hill, 3 doors from the stop for the 24 bus. I easily walked to Dolores Park and the Mission and Hayes Valley. And of course it is a couple blocks to the heart of Castro or Noe Valley. It is maybe a mile from BART, a quick trip by the 48 bus or cab. The house has a bunch of steps up from the street through a well-tended garden--it is a quintessential Victorian house. The owners are super-responsive and very thoughtful. They left lots of snacks and candy (I mean LOTS). Brought beach towels when we needed them, answered lots of questions and so on. They have house rules of no shoes which is what we do at home, so that was fine. They like a quiet place which is also what we wanted and found. It's a delightful place.

Vincent sees to it that the beautiful bedroom (with one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in) small sitting room and luxurious bathroom are well stocked with snacks, treats, bottled water and even wine upon arrival. I was touched with the small things they did to make me feel comfortable; a box of toffee a couple of days after my arrival, for example. They knew I was not feeling when i got there, and were more than willing to do anything for me. That being said, while I was aware that they were upstairs (The room is on the ground floor of their home) I did not see them and they did not bother me for my entire stay. The room has its own entrance, which opens out onto a little porch and a set of stairs leading to the street. It is only steps away fro the bus that takes you into the heart of the Noe Valley shopping district in one direction, and to the MUNI subway station at Castro and Market in the other. The house sits on the top of a hill, with beautiful views of the Noe Valley Neighborhood, and in the distance, San Francisco Bay. When considering a visit to the Bay area, I decided I did not want the anonymity of a hotel. The Inn at Noe Valley offered similar prices but such an upgrade in quality and comfort that I am a convert. Thank you Vincent and Carmine!
