As soon my partner and I arrived we were greeted by the owners. Very polite. We were early for our room, so the owner offered to put our luggage’s in a room while our room was cleaning. The owner give us great places to go visit. When we got to our room, there was a card, when I open it, it said “happy birthday”. My partner and I appreciate everything that the owners did, while we were staying there. I would definitely recommend this place, and I will definitely return again. Thanks again for everything

The hotel is ideally located in the Hillcrest gayborhood:) The owners are both kind and personable—and their in-house cafe is delicious. Check-in was very easy. I got lucky with street parking while I was there. I’d definitely stay again!

There is now a manager on hand to help with check-in. Parking can be challenging and there are homeless folks the property.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The owner is super friendly and chill. As long as there is communication on both sides, I think it's a win/win situation. The parking garage is a bit small but other than that everything else was just as I imagined. : ) I can't wait for the future trip.

Rooms are clean, the building and rooms feel secure with codes and locks. Building is furnished in a decent manner. Staff are helpful when asked about concerns. Local area is not too bad, very local to restaurants, bars and the zoo; only concern with the area is the 7eleven on the corner and the alleyway attracts the displaced. parking is very limited but kept clean and well lit.

This was one of my favorite hotels I’ve ever stayed at! Beautiful building, great hotel room, simple check in. Cool neighborhood, close to many other great neighborhoods. My room was far larger than I imagined, felt very palatial. System for entering was simple, though I read the instructions too quickly and required some assistance (which was there when I needed). There’s a fantastic little restaurant on the street level - only open for brunch hours - which has great food and coffee, etc. I’ll go back for sure.

We had the fabulous penthouse with an amazing city/bay view . The room is stunning . The cafe downstairs is worth visiting this property alone . Lee and Mel serve up delicious food and manage this hotel with warm hospitality .

What a wonderful place to stay for a solo stay! It was my first time doing a solo trip away. The only thing that was a bit of a let down was the shower. The way the shower is built allows water to flow out to the bathroom floor which ended up going to the main room. Other than that it was a 10/10 stay and would recommend to anyone!

Centrally located! The only hotel in Hillcrest. Why? The room was clean and spacious. The staff were very helpful. I loved the view. It was well worth the cost.
