We were not told that the restaurant was closed. For the price of the room, I would have expected more amenities; nicer towels, etc. The bed and pillows were fine, room was comfortable. Bathroom tile needed badly to be replaced. The location has convenient for us. Nice little bakery next door.

The main issue is that this is not a hotel. At best this is a hostel. Description on Expedia website range from misleading to completely false. Shared bathrooms were not clearly stated. One of two showers did not works, the other barely worked. The soundproofing advertised is simply not there and if anything this has been one of the least insulated situations I'ver ever experienced. Loud and drafty. There is no staff on the property. The phone number on the website takes you to a mailbox that is full. The email address does not work. You cannot get in touch with staff. The advertised sink in room, desk simply did not exist. A table with two chairs featured as part of the room does not exist - it's a picture of a table in a common are. This whole experienced ruined what was meant to be a romantic weekend with my wife. Clearly no due diligence from Expedia's site was done. Incredibly disappointing.

This place has potential and can be quaint, however, it was never clear to us that our room had a shared bathroom/shower. The hotel has very limited, bordering on non-existing staff. Little communication ahead of stay about this. By chance we found out our room key was left in a locked box outside the hotel. Our shared shower wasn't working, we had to find a working shower somewhere in the property entirely on our own. Breakfast is served late, 8:00 am! Never found out if it was available as we left by 7:00 am. No staff around the entire time we were there, front desk was CLOSED! If you are in need of anything, theres no one to ask. No parking in the property, parking on your own in the street.

Marin county’s best bnb. With beatully themed rooms. The locals put their it guest here to give them a taste of what make the last Mission city special. You can walk to it

We arrived and the heat did not work! There was no blanket. I asked room service for a heater, which they did provide. There was no breakfast other then coffee, although they advertised it when i booked. I am not a picky traveler but this is unacceptable.

This place has charm and is cute. If you know what you're getting, it's just fine. However, the listings are definitely misleading. It makes the rooms looks bigger and leads one to believe that rooms include a kitchenette area and bathroom, when those are shared areas and not in-room. I do not necessarily mind sharing a bathroom etc but I do want to be aware of that when booking. There is definitely no 24-hour desk, and having the breakfast room not open until 8 AM doesn't work for me as a business traveler. However, there is a great Bakery right next door that I would highly recommend. Please also be aware that there is no on-site or otherwise dedicated parking, and this is right at the edge of a neighborhood. So parking may be challenging depending on when you stay or arrive.

I booked this hotel as it was near my next day appointment. I arrived at 3:30, was given key to my room, and that was the end of human contact at the hotel. I believe I was alone all night, there was no 24/7 clerk or anyone at all, there was no food service as shown in the promo for the hotel. This was an old place, with shared, not an ensuite bathroom. My room was small but OK but the bathroom was tiny, had seen rough use and no maintenance, the shower was dangerous to enter and use. Again, while a shared bath, I was the only human on this site during my stay. Had I had a medical need, had fallen down the steep fourteen step stairway to my room, there was not a single person to assist me or get me help.
The promo pictures of food and rooms was totally inaccurate. This hotel is a disaster waiting to happen and a potential huge liability issue for Hotels.com and Expedia. I was tempted to report this hotel to the local fire and police agencies.
This is likely a case where Hotels.com has not done due diligence to ascertain the safety of this hotel but put it on the booking site to gain revenue and depend on guest reviews to determine judge the hotel quality.
I paid for the room with Hotel.com award points and feel I deserve to get those points returned to me.

I have stayed here quite a number of times, and I am always fascinated by all the beauty and intricate details of this historic hotel!!!
