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.

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.

This was my first time staying at the Inn at the Presidio (we normally stay at the Lodge at the…read morePresidio). 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 Lodge is a well appointed hotel repurposed and refined from the Army's use of this beautiful structure back 100 years ago. Rooms are spacious with great views of the presidio grounds and the Golden Gate Bridge. A comfortable bed and a spacious bathroom, combined with views, make this a unique and special hotel in San Francisco. In addition, the staff is very friendly and helpful. They also have a daily complimentary European breakfast and a 2 hr wine and cheese offering in the evening. The only negative was the surprise of a 16% daily national park surcharge fee, that I must have overlooked during booking. This makes for a pretty spendy stay. But this special hotel, located in such a beautiful location, was worth every penny. I can't wait to come back!

Talk about a nice spread for a coffee lounge and they served Equator Coffee (1 of my favs); I had time to put in a run in the fitness center before joining the GF for the wine reception. I did not expect the spread we walked into - finger sandwiches, fruits, cheese/crackers, veggies/dip, yogurt/parfait, I especially enjoyed the cucumber/smoked salmon bite, the cheese/charcuterie board, and the salsa and guacamole. The continental bfast was wonderful! The GF loved the omelette, berries, and crispy bacon from the kitchen grill while I am happy with oatmeal with nuts/fresh fruits but the spread was just unbelievable.
