Washington Square Inn

I had a great stay at this inn in San Francisco. It’s a small place, but very cozy and comfortable. The service was excellent; everyone was friendly, helpful, and made the stay feel very welcoming. The location is also amazing. It’s in the Italian neighborhood, which felt very safe and full of great restaurants and cafés within walking distance. It was the perfect area to explore the city.

I loved this place. The location is fantastic. Digital room key and the front entry code worked perfectly, and I honestly liked not having to wait for anyone or talk to anyone. When I had a question about the shower, and then again about check-out, I texted and received immediate and friendly responses. We stayed one night in a room with a king bed and ensuite bathroom with shower/tub. Room and bathroom was super clean, nice bed and bedding, cute furniture. It was spare but it was all we needed. Note: would have liked a fold-out luggage rack. 24/7 coffee, tea, and water refill station was lovely. It kind of reminded me of staying in a hostel, but a beautifully decorated and appointed hostel. Very euro and cool. We will be back.

I would stay at the Washington Square Inn again. The location is superb, a block or two from the heart of North Beach, but it was completely quiet at night. The price was very good for SF. However, you should know that the hotel is pretty rough around the edges. Shower handle a bit funky, carpet very worn in spots, aging tiles, mattress hardly in its first youth (but we slept well). If you want the bathroom in your room as opposed to across the hall, make sure to reserve ensuite.

Positive: Nothing we left after check in. No good feedback. Negative: We waited thirty minutes to be let into the hotel. We weren’t even let in by staff just another guest party. The other party had been waiting over an hour to get their room key. There was no staff on site. Rooms were misrepresented and dirty. Horrible.

The hotel is great, it's super convenient to have the key on your phone. The location is great, there are so many things around. We unfortunately came when there was an event going on near by so trying to find parking was next to impossible. When everyone was gone the next day there was a ton of parking available. The hotel was recommended by a friend and I would definitely recommend and return. Affordable and convenient
