Inns The Grove Inn

A nice little hotel in a great location in San Francisco. Very convenient for public transport and exploring on foot. The receptionist was very friendly and the children loved free biscuits and chocolate in the room.

We spent a week at The Grove Inn in a Deluxe Queen Room and my Mum had a week also in a Deluxe Queen Room with Bay Window. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the housekeeping staff did a wonderful job and the entire time we were there we heard no noise from other guests despite The Grove Inn being fully occupied, so everyone was very respectful of everyone else which was great! The rooms are ingeniously laid out to ensure each has its own private bathroom facilities. Due to space constrictions, sometimes this means the basin is in the bedroom, however there is no inconvenience associated with this, rather it adds to the quirkiness of the property. We loved the layout of our room (18), being a corner room there was plenty of light as there were windows on two sides and nice views. We had plenty of space for our suitcases and shopping (of which there was a great deal!), hanging space and room on the shelf, along with a sizable desk and chair, great tv with plenty of channels (once we figured out how to use it properly!) and a comfortable chair for sitting as well as a bench seat which we used for our purchases. There is a bus stop right outside and others nearby (depending on where you are headed!). Shops are a short walk away so the fact that there is no breakfast included is not really an issue. We bought some provisions such as yogurt, fruit and milk which we could store in the mini-fridge (although it did have a tendency to freeze things that were on the upper shelf and space was limited) and we asked for spoons which were promptly provided. The location was terrific: a nice, quiet neighbourhood and seemingly little crime. We had a hire car which we were able to park every day on the street at no cost, however, be mindful of the signage and parking times as street cleaning restrictions differ depending on the day and side of the street you are parked - we did see cars with tickets on their windows!

Loved the room, loved the location, staff were wonderful! Clean and comfortable, we felt very much "at home" for the 7 nights we stayed and could easily have stayed longer. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, all the linens, towels, face washers, soaps, etc. were excellent quality and condition and the bathroom pristinely clean! Would absolutely not hesitate to stay here again on our next trip to San Francisco. (Have left another, more comprehensive review under the booking for my mother who also stayed 7 nights with the check-in, check-out dates one day different).

Good price for San Francisco, bus stop with regular bus into Mission District right next to the hotel, bus into downtown a short walk away, room was comfortable enough. Walking distance to Haight Ashbury and Golden Gate Park.

a gorgeous building in a premium location very close to the famous neighbourhood of Mission, Castro and Haight Ashbury, but also not far from Union Square and downtown. My room was spacious and comfortable, two big windows facing the street but still very quiet. Bed was very comfortable, the bathroom had very good quality free toiletries and a powerful shower. I loved staying at the Grove Inn with my friends (we had three bedrooms) and I highly recommend it. For my birthday I found a very sweet birthday card in my room. That was a very nice touch. I will stay again!

Lcation was excellent for catching buses to get around San Francisco. Nice bars and cafes close by and secure public parking about a 10 minute walk away. Staff in office were super helpful before we arrived and on arrival.

Everything was great; the hotel, the room, the location, and the price ... however the highlight was the staff. Mark and the rest of the team were super helpful and a perfect example of how to run a small hotel

Great location in a neighbourhood out of the city, one block (uphill) to a beautiful and safe park looking over the city and at the other side of the park was a lovely strip of cafes and restaurants. Displayed at reception were numerous recommendations for breakfast and dinner and what was on that week in town. We tried a couple of the recommendations and loved each one. Room was very clean.
