Location to the beach was amazing! Parking is rough and we had to check in at a partnering hotel up the block. That would’ve been good to know ahead of time. But our room was great!

Parking was horrible. Service was inconvenient because we had to go get clean towels at a different location (a block away). Bathroom fan was not working nor can you open the window to let moisture out.

We wanted a convenient and comfortable hotel that gave immediate access to the Mission & Pacific beach walking path, and this place definitely delivered. The bed was comfortable, the A/C worked almost too well, and the shower was very good. Parking is NOT easy (but that should be expected in a tourist heavy beach area), and you'd need to move up a $100 price tier if you want a private parking garage experience. This hotel is owned by a property management group that has a couple other properties within a 3 block radius, so when we were inevitably unable to find parking by this hotel, the very friendly front desk person directed us down the street to another of their properties where I was able to park and walk right back. Eat breakfast at Kono's Cafe!
