This property is in the perfect location in regards to where my daughter lives in San Francisco. I never saw anyone who worked there but the check-in was electronic and they made it easy to check-in and go straight to your room. No elevator so you do have to take your luggage upstairs yourself. It was clean and very cute also. We will stay there again.

It's wonderful to hear that our location served you well during your stay. Being close to local attractions and transport links is something our guests often appreciate, and we're glad it was the case for you. Our beloved stairs are protected by Historic preservation. The Grove Inn is one of San Francisco’s oldest boarding houses. This 3-story Italianate-Victorian style building was constructed in 1865 during the Gold Rush era. We strive to provide exceptional service and amenities to all of our guests and we do have a luggage elevator which is available during the front desk hours from 9 am to 5 pm. We eagerly await your next visit and the chance to exceed your expectations once more!

Staff was very friendly. Rooms were fine considering the price, but being in an old house meant no AC, and then windows didn’t open fully. As a result, the room was too warm at night.

In a fantastic location! Makes you feel a part of the local neighborhood. Bus right outside that runs to the Golden Gate Bridge or to the subway. 4 blocks away is a slew of delicious restaurants, bars, and shops. The front desk was helpful and had great suggestions for places to eat and check out. To top it all the mattress was extremely comfortable. Would stay here again for sure.

The hotel is in a residential area so nice and quiet and safe. If you have been to San Francisco before and know your way around, this is a great hotel to stay in. If a first timer, it’s a little bit out of the way from bars. Very clean hotel with nice little touches, like a coffee machine, but lacks some essentials such as a safe. Really friendly staff with great communication if checkin after 5pm and have great knowledge in the hotel around the area

I stayed at Grove Inn while my husband underwent surgery so I could be close by. The concierge was wonderful, she had my room cleaned early so I could check in before noon. She asked how the surgery went. The room was comfortable and generous, the bed was excellent. There were even earplugs in case of noisy traffic. Plus there is a lovely, inexpensive French restaurant a few hundred feet away. We will return after hubby has recuperated! Thank you for the hospitality during a difficult time. Anita S.
