Close to the beach and highway.Overall nice hotel. However, it is on Highway 1 and since there is not air conditioning, you will likely sleep with the patio door at least partly open so you can enjoy the sounds of zooming cars & trucks.

Great Stay at a Small, Chic HotelWe were very pleased with our room - the bathroom was large and updated. The only down side was that the weather was unseasonably warm for San Francisco, and since there is no AC in the rooms, the ceiling fan was our only respite. The staff, especially Ann and Enoc, were very helpful in recommendations ...

Great location and helpful friendly staff. Charming hotel well located for sight seeing and shopping. Very clean with nice amenities. Bathrooms are old, so is the elevator but all this adds to the charm. Nice breakfast and afternoon snacks give the place a very intimate feel.

The BEST view ever. Very quiet area which made a very relaxing stay. Soft sheets. Spotless room. Polite front desk. I have stayed at many high end hotels in San Francisco which have been very expensive. This hotel was so reasonably priced that I was worried that it was going to be a real let down. ...

AMAZING!!!!Most beautiful relaxing place to stay. So comfortable and perfect in every aspect.
