Chestnut Street Tours and Activities

This hotel is a block away from city hall, civic center plaza and other gorgeous buildings. We were within walking distance to bus stops, Bart stations and other local transit. We did not want to be in heart of tourist area and this was perfect. We loved that we could walk to local restaurants, cafes & bakeries, because of the proximity to government buildings, many places close by 8pm. As long as you are aware of that, its a good place to stay. I think people forget that San Fran is an old city with old buildings (thats the charm). I like that those buildings are repurposed, (hotels, shops, restaurants) and are not completely gutted to make them look brand new (if you want something new, gray and boring, stay somewhere else). I like that the hotel bathroom had the old tiles, small elevator and people were friendly and helpful.This hotel is cute, roomy and simple, we slept & kept our stuff there. There is no A/C, but you dont need it (visited in August from AZ) we kept the window open and at 3am it was really cold.

Very nice property in a great location. Short walk to the painted laidies, restaurants and shops on Divisedero. Bus stop right there to take directly to the Fillmore, Castro, lower Haight, or the Mission.

Quiet hotel, abundant parking
