Beautiful hotel close to medical appointments. Room was small but beautiful lobby/common areas were cozy and functional for visiting and having a meal. Would stay here again.
I only have wonderful things to say about this hotel. It all starts with the front desk. Very welcoming and thoughtful.
The housekeeping team pride themselves in perfection. They pay such attention to detail.
The hotel is the gold standard in hospitality and quality.
Thanks Courtyard by Marriott.
Very clean, great attached cafe, great laundry room, safe parking, helpful staff, beautiful lobby. Only downside is that it is on the edge of SF's redlight district called "The Tenderloin". Some of the nonsense spills over to this area but it's manageable.
Spotless room and bath room second stay here, great front desk staff, only thing that makes it not a five star is low shower water pressure and very uncomfortable beds there in need of a change
Very clean room. I wouldn’t say I felt safe with the area around the hotel but it is SF. Very interesting design. Very confusing
The restaurant is so expensive. I ordered a Sprite to take to my room and it was $7.50
The room was spacious and clean! Bedding was very nice and comfortable. The location was central and close to the Opera House which was the reason for our visit. We did have a hard time finding a restaurant close by after the performance and ended up eating next door to the hotel at Mel's. Not exactly a meal to remember but it honestly wasn't bad. Parking garage was very convenient and dare I say affordable at $49 with in/out priledges. I would definitely stay at the Courtyard location again!
