Cute quaint place with old charm. Some of the random technology throughout the room, I did find odd like the Alexa home that has a camera on the nightstand, the motion detector sensor on the wall, the keyless pinpad lock for the door, and the mirror in the bathroom with the digital camera displayed, it just didn’t feel like it fit in with the rest of the place and seems a little weird to me. Not necessarily bad though. I was told when I checked in that I could request breakfast to my door as early as 7, even though the paper said 7:30. I got it around 7:20 which was disappointing because I was in a rush for work.
The Monte Cristo Bed & Breakfast is a gem!! It reminded me so much of my European travels. The building is unique and pleasing. Jack is very helpful and kind. The property is within walking distance of many food venues. We were able to park, easily, near the Monte. Make sure you pay attention to street parking signs. Fabulous sweet treats are put out for your enjoyment, including chocolate, cookies & tea. Don’t miss the hot, made to order breakfast. I will definitely stay at the Monte again in the future.
The room and in particular the bathroom were great, being just above street level there wasn’t much in the way of a view and vehicles driving by in the night was a bit of a thing. Otherwise it was very well maintained and comfortable. I think if I visited again I would opt for an upper level room
Quaint Victorian style bed and breakfast. We loved the fresh breakfast everyday and baked goods available in the dining area. Very quiet. Room and bed were very comfortable. Shower and bathroom were spacious and had a bidet which was amazing! Love a warm toilet seat! Free parking up the block. We were able to walk several places however, we had a rental as well to get us around for site seeing. Lovely city. We will be back!
This was our second time staying here. All employees are so nice and helpful! Rooms are unique and clean. Bathrooms are modern and toiletries provided. The breakfast is delicious; you can order the day before and indicate time. Lots of choices! Snacks and drinks are available all day. They include fresh baked cookies, trail mix, nuts, water, coffee, tea and more. I highly recommend.
We had a wonderful stay. Jack and all his staff were so attentive and hospitable. Nothing was too much trouble.
Breakfast was delicious and freshly made and there were snacks, homemade cookies and fruit as well as tea and coffee available all day.
Bedroom was very comfortable
By far one of the best I have ever stayed at. Old world charm with very nicely updated rooms, etc. Breakfast was perfect. The dinning area was loaded full of fruit, snacks, etc. Internet was very fast. Great streaming options on the TV. I only wish there was a small desk in my room. No matter, this is now my preference for SF!
We felt right at home here. Everyone was warm and welcoming, the rooms were very nice, and the complimentary breakfast was delicious. We also very much appreciated the bidet in our room. Who doesn’t like a warm toilet seat with cleaning and drying abilities?
