home away from home
it's easy to see why the redwood inn is so busy! the owners, yan and may, were wonderful. yan was there to greet and check us in upon arrival and the motel was booked to capacity. we arrived late on a friday night, and were assigned to the wheelchair accessible room. it was clean and comfortable and conveniently located next to the elevator. each morning began with a trip down to the office for complimentary donuts and a quick chat with may. both her and her husband were extremely friendly and helpful, whether it was to give directions to the nearest convenient store, the post office, somewhere to purchase another memory card (san francisco is a photographer's paradise!), call us a taxi for the baseball game or to help with arranging a hop on/off bus tour (you can buy the tickets at the office). they really enjoy their jobs and it's evident in the care they give each guest. the motel is conveniently located near van ness on lombard street, and is in a great location whether you plan to walk or drive to the city's countless attractions. we both thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the redwood inn and will definitely choose it for our base next time we visit san francisco.
