Another Joie de Vivre gem
This is a lovely small hotel in a great location just a few blocks from Union Square. The rooms are comfortable but small, typical for SF boutique hotels. The staff is fabulous, very accommodating and knowledgeable of the San Francisco area. Parking prices are high like all hotels in the area, but somewhat less than other properties we've stayed in nearby. I always recommend travelers leave their cars at home when visiting SF because the area transportation is excellent and this particular hotel is centrally located. My only complaint is that the bed in our room, a queen, was too small for my husband and me. Next time we will ask for a king or two queens. The afternoon wine reception is very nice and the wine is quite good. I also like having coffee available both in the room and on the mezzanine level. There is a cute rooftop walking track with benches for sitting and enjoying the outdoors and they welcomed my small dog without a mandatory cleaning fee (just an agreement that there would be additional charges if my dog created a mess.) I will definitely stay here again.
