Ok experience
Everything was kind of out of date and felt a little sub par… I asked the front desk if they have water available and they said no, but they have vending machines, the one on my floor didn’t have any bottled water. They didn’t have a mini fridge or microwave in the rooms. One benefit was the underground locked parking available. It’s fine if you just need a place to sleep and not spend much time!

the hotel room was spacious and clean. Parking was easy. The air conditioner was very loud. Also the street noise was extremely loud, especially when the bars let out on Saturday night.

2nd time staying here. I would stay again but only if guaranteed a room that does not face Lombard. We were disrupted from 2-4am by a motorcycle party across the street at the bar. the first time we stayed our room faced Fillmore and it was still noisy with the bar across that street but not as bad. Will probably not stay there again, unless you are going to party all night.

Easy access to points of interest
It was good we love to stay at the Chelsea Inn when we go to San Francisco for medical appointments. This time we also celebrated my husband’s birthday early with a visit to Baker Beach and then dinner on Fisherman’s Wharf. I love the fact that there is secure parking.

This is a small chain of 5-6 hotels in SF. Great location. Walkable neighborhoods. Easy to park and forget driving while in City.

Clean, comfortable, modern room. Ask for upper floor to minimize noise from late-night luggage carts. Parking secure and excellent, and FREE. Now, my preferred location to stay in S.F.
