Clean and convenient
The room was clean and we had enough room. They advertised breakfast and they said they stopped doing that last year. That was one factor why we chose that hotel. So that info needs updated. Even showed pics of breakfast being served.

Excellent place, truly a gem.
The room was clean and spacious. Front desk staff were very friendly and efficient. Free parking was nice obviously but the parking area was clean, well-lit, and on-site which in SF is truly impressive. The garden is tranquil and lovely. Will stay here every time om in the city.

10/10 Exceptional

It was great, we had a nice night. The shower knob was different than I am used to, there are instructions on the opposite wall of the knobs though for those of you confused like I was. I loved that they use the soap dispensers instead of disposables. The carpets are a lil smelly, but it was clean if that makes sense. Not complaining but I have a stronger nose than most people. Our stay was great!

Hidden gem
Very nice hotel, the lady at the front desk(sorry didn’t catch her name) was so kind and accommodating for us. The hotel parking was easy and it was nice they had 2 garages, safe neighborhood w/ a cool park nearby. The room was spacious, clean and had a huge fridge! Loved the rooftop and sitting area. Will definitely stay again.

difficult parking
Parking is rough . The parking lots are small & difficult to maneuver a sign @ the front desk says limited parking first come first serve that was not on the hotel description. Clean , neat & tidy room but decor is less than desirable kinda depressing . Service is excellent. Very cute & nice garden area But this hotel is just one step up from a motel 6

Hotel was fine; 3rd floor lounge and balcony were too small to accommodate more than 2 people; great value for tourist district given the guaranteed parking. No on-site breakfast but they offer local restaurant breakfast discounts. Would stay again.

Unique hotel with cool garden and rooftop patio. Location was convenient especially for public transportation. Now the newest hotel but would definitely stay again.

We loved our stay at the buena vista inn! Everything was clean and easy, and everyone we interacted with was kind and helpful. The area felt safe and was walking distance to Ghiradelli square. We loved having our breakfast in the back garden each morning, what a lovely little hideaway! Overall, the space feels very cared for. We would stay here again for sure.

4/10 Fair

Disappointed
I’ve been to Buena Vista several times over the years, but this time the room wasn’t so good. First, the shower did not work. The lever was broken. The tissue box in the bathroom was completely empty. The clock in the room was not the correct time. The refrigerator made a very loud, annoying sound all night and we had to unplug it. Also, when we returned to park at the hotel after coming back from dinner, there were no parking spaces available except a very bad one that blocked another car from leaving, so I had to get up early to move it the next morning when someone else had left. It seems they are cutting costs and not paying attention to customer’s needs the way they used to.
