"This was a bad stay. The Found staff onsite was awful! Tho not bPoshtels hire, the latter is housed in the Found hotel. I travel, but maintain an address in SF for business. It is on my ID. I arrived to check-in exhausted, hoping for a pleasant 1-night stay at a relatively new spot. I pre-payed. I was met by a sour young woman who proclaimed I could NOT stay there because I was a "local" - I shouldn't even have had to explain. She refused to check me in, made me sit in the lobby 20 min, called a...

"I recently stayed at **The European Hostel in San Francisco and had a really pleasant experience overall. The property is well-maintained, and what stood out most for me was the cleanliness. The rooms and common areas were consistently kept tidy, fresh, and comfortable, which made the stay feel safe and welcoming. A special mention goes to Nick, who is part of the staff. He was extremely professional, helpful, and always approachable whenever needed. His attention to detail and willingness to...

Point Reyes Station
6.0 out of 10, (1 review)
"I wish I did a little more research before booking. This lodge used to be a hostel and still seems more like a hostel than lodge. It would be perfect if I wasn’t traveling with a toddler who wants to get into everything. Location is about a five minute drive from the beach. We saw a ton of deer. It’s a little ways to the shipwreck and lighthouse. Great for trail access. Overall, if you’re traveling with small children or folks who overheat easily, maybe not the best place. If you need a base...
