This was the best stay in a two month home remodel of the six hotels for short term stays. First, the staff was so nice and non-corporate sounding. Wow, real people who were friendly. Who knew this might be a positive experience for travelers? I was traveling with my dog and they had set aside a small doggy space to so a little roaming and take care of business. I was so impressed with the interior with pavers, little garages for parking and great flowers and trees. Off of Lombard? What a treat. Also, just around the corner is the Palace of Fine Arts, perfect for pictures and dog walking, close to the beach and lots of restaurants and morning coffee places. I live in San Francisco and appreciate the old school charm and character of a home run by the same family since 1948. Definitely a highlight stay for me and my dog Ollie!
