9/10 Wonderful! (1,000 reviews)

This is a quaint inn with a lovely courtyard. The staff members were very nice. Our room was a bit tired with signs of wear. The cold continental breakfast is a nice offering. However, cold items such as milk, yogurt and hard boiled eggs were not kept cold while out for breakfast; they would have been tastier if kept on ice.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (440 reviews)

I really enjoyed my stay at 1 Hotel San Francisco. The property is chic, stylish, and perfectly located close to the water with STK conveniently right across the street. The hotel feels thoughtfully designed, ergonomically friendly, and incredibly comfortable. One of the best parts for me was how pet-friendly it is—without any extra charges or hidden fees. They even provided my puppy with a cozy bed and dishes, which was such a thoughtful touch. While it is definitely on the pricier side, the experience is absolutely worth it—I would definitely stay here again with no hesitation.

Painted Ladies

Visitors may get the wrong idea from the name of this attraction. It’s actually a charming landmark of days gone by in this city by the bay.

We saw two performances while we were in SF. During the first performance, we sat in the bench seating behind the orchestra called the "terrace" and this is a photo from the second tier seats. I highly recommend sitting in the terrace seats if you are not a stickler for acoustics. It is so fun to be able to watch the conductor's face and be so close to the musicians that you can follow along with their sheet music.
