Overnighter eating our way thru No. Beach
My husband and I stay here every time we come to the city for an overnighter in North Beach. We have never been disappointed. The free parking is a Hugh plus and the location is perfect.

We loved the location of this property, it was easy to get to Fisherman's Wharf. Tony at reception was very friendly and went out of his way each day to check-in with us and see how our day was. The rooms are a little dated but dont let this put you off.

Family stay in July
We stayed for 2 nights in July. Whilst the hotel is a little worn in places it really is an excellent place to stay. The staff are fantastic, the location is excellent and they have amazingly comfortable beds. Also prices are good, especially given the local hotel pricing.
