Charming!
Loved my stay here! The neighborhood is beautiful, the street is quiet, the rooms are super clean, and the front desk is friendly. What more could you ask for for a weekend in SF??

We’d previously stayed in the tourist heavy area near fisherman’s wharf, but this was a good alternative to see a “genuine” San Francisco. Highly recommend the restaurants on neighbouring Hayes st & breakfast at Eddies.
As far as accommodation, clean, modern fit out & Mark on the front desk was very helpful.
Would stay again.

Excellent hotel! I love Hayes Valley and it’s a short walk to great restaurants and shops and the famous view from Alamo Square. Parking was not too bad and the staff were very helpful and gracious. Very good price and as a solo female traveler, I felt safe and had a good time. I will be back!

I would definitely recommend the Grove Inn! It was clean, quiet, and quaint. The bed was so comfortable. It’s also in a great location—one (hilly) block from Alamo Square, about a ten minute walk to lots of restaurants and shops on Divisadero, and there’s a bus stop directly outside. It’s also an easy walk to the Mission district and more great restaurants and shops on Hayes. You should stay here!

Nice Inn Near Alamo Park
It's a cute Inn near Alamo Park (Painted Ladies). The room was very nice and the area was safe. We parked in one of the suggested garges (Fillmore) which worked out great - we never drove in the city but left the car parked there.
I was a little surprised that the front desk was only open from 9 AM to 5 PM; however, it worked out just fine. The staff was good but we were out everyday, so really didn't see them much.
There aren't any services the Inn offers (e.g., restraunt) which was just fine for us. If your looking for a comfortable place to stay while visiting the sites or family in the area, this place is great.

No air conditioning! There is only a standing fan and windows to open for a breeze. The expedia listing is misleading when it says air conditioning. I did feel some air coming out of a floor vent during the day once, but it seems like they turn it off when they close the front desk at 9pm. Guests have no control over it.

Excellent Victorian style Inn that is well kept up and very pleasant. There could have been a mirror in the room but otherwise, we lacked for nothing. The beds were superior comfort.

I was in town for a conference and chose a hotel near the venue. Though not a traditional hotel, I loved the historic feel of the Grove. Although a bit small, it had character, inside and out. I also loved the location, as it was walkable to the nearby park and to shops and entertainment.
