The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful, making me feel comfortable throughout my stay. A special shout-out to Vijay, who was exceptionally friendly, professional, and attentive. His warm hospitality and positive attitude truly made a difference and made my stay even more enjoyable. Great service, a welcoming atmosphere, and amazing hospitality. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would love to stay here again. Thank you for making my stay such a pleasant experience!"

Symphony Inn

10/10 Excellent

"the location is excellent, the room was very clean and had everything we needed. It is a short 1 to 2 block walk to two excellent breakfast places: La Boulangerie and Wise and Sons Deli. 2 blocks away is an amazing Burmese Restaurant. The on site parking is an amazing perk...just be sure to get there right at check-in."

My Rosegarden Guest Rooms

10/10 Excellent

"A private home in the Richmond District, just a stone's throw from the Presidio's southern border. Lovingly maintained. This is a nice place to stay if you're OK with being a bit off the SF tourist track. A sumptuous breakfast every day at 8:00 AM. Loved the fog and the foghorns! You're that close to the ocean and the Golden Gate."
