Staff is so polite and very helpful. The beds were firm-great for anyone who has a challenged back. Elevator is vintage and really neat but, not made for modern luggage and wheelchairs. Super clean-I always check! Lovely, convenient stay.

In the city of San Francisco, most days are moderately cool in the winter and foggy and windy in the summer. Temperatures rarely reach higher than the 70's. When the weather is nice, the city locals flock to the parks to worship the sun.

This picture was taken on the first warm, sunny, and non-windy day of the year in March. Lynn and I stoped at this location while taking a Segway Street tour of the North Beach area.

Across the Street is the Saints Peter and Paul Church.
