FOUND Hotel Carlton, Nob Hill
The room was small, but cute and clean. The bed was a little hard, but nothing crazy. I loved that there was a bath tub in the bathroom. My only real complaint was it was very hot in our room, even with the windows open all night. The staff was friendly and helpful

Hotel Zeppelin San Francisco
This was my second time staying at this hotel and most certainly won’t be my last!! The rooms are spacious, clean, and luxurious. Also the staff here are amazing! I believe Maria/Marie (I don’t remember exactly) made us feel super welcome and taken care of! I even left behind some belongings by accident ...
