Very good Hotel in a very good location
Pros:

Wonderful location for a short and safe stay. I stayed with my family and we did enjoy the short stay. Coffee was available full day at the lobby which I liked. Covered Parking was our priority for our stay specifically having a full size RAM1500 (Un lifted) which fit perfectly….

Cons:

Think price is slightly on higher side but with safety of the area and parking for the car, it was a good compromise - My personal opinion

Laurel Inn - away from the madness of downtown SF
Pros:

Quaint hotel. Breakfast at Wise Son across the street. For World of Hyatt globalists - breakfast options limited to basic sandwiches without extras. Neighborhood has interesting shops (food, clothing, art, etc). Near Presidio - one can take bus 43 to the Presidio Transit Station which is adjacent to the Presidio Tunnel Tops. Away from the buzz of SF. Would be liked by people wanting an eclectic SF stay.

Impressive hotel
Pros:

Very impressed by this hotel! Room was comfortable, well furnished, and modern art on the walls, even in the bathroom! Pet friendly with very modest pet fee. Was able to find street parking about 1 1/2 blocks away.

Already looking forward to our next visit!
Pros:

Terrific location, warm and welcoming staff. Did not feel anything like staying in a large, impersonal business hotel. Perfect for our extended family group across 4 rooms.

The rooms were clean, bright and cheery with excellent linens, towels, and comfy bedding. The fluffy robes made it feel even homier.

We appreciate the extra touches: coffee/tea service in the lobby, freshly baked warm cookies in the afternoon. Off street parking was a real plus.

This is a neighborhood gem!

Pros:

loved the room, bathroom, location!! all really good.

Cons:

The only "bad" thing was the light at my desk did not work and wouldn't charge my phone either.
there wasn't a lightbulb in the light fixture.
and a strong chemical smell on the first floor landing of the stairwell? it was odd???
Otherwise it was awesome!
