Hotels Near Stonestown Farmers Market in San Francisco

Indian-run hotel in the San Francisco Sunset Area, San Francisco Animal Side, two blocks from the Pacific Ocean.

We did not expect a 5-star accommodation when booking at this motel, but went ahead since it was close to where other family members were staying when in town for a wedding. It is run-down, but rooms appeared fairly clean and we did not plan to stay in the rooms other than to sleep and dress. If the beach is your thing and amenities are optional, this is your place. There are a couple of cute coffee shops on the same street that are popular for breakfast and a funky bar right next door. However, Judah street is the turn-around point for the electric trolley, so there are trains going by with lights and noise from early morning until late night. We could only get one station on the TV., The worst part is that I had 2 pairs of earrings (one very expensive) taken from my luggage while staying there. When I contacted the manager, he responded that he was sorry, but that no jewelry was found in our room. Beware!

There is a breakfast that is quite delicious. There is a parking lot. But when I wake up in the morning, the car next to me is smashed. Don't put a bag in the car! Going out, pay attention to safety

This hotel feels very good, the layout and facilities of the hotel are very atmospheric, the service attitude is very good, the surrounding environment is also good, supermarkets, restaurants, and transportation are very convenient.

POSITIVE: Check in was easy - on our arrival day (Monday), we requested and received early (3 pm) check in (normal is 4 pm), which was helpful as Castro St. rush hour starts after 3 on weekdays. Didn’t have a problem with the access code mentioned in other reviews at check in or throughout stay. There’s a space right in front for easy loading/unloading. Note: if you have a car (we didn’t), parking is limited - the hotel recommends using SpotHero. To get an overnight (free) street space, you likely would need to find one up Castro or one of the cross-streets, which is doable but will take luck & time. Tip if you have a car: drop bags off, punch in access code and drop off in room. There are 4 rooms each on floors 2,3,4. Level 5 is roof lounge with excellent panoramic views (when not raining) couches and cozy fire pit. We booked a handicap accessible room (we needed two twin beds). Our room had a toilet/shower room with pocket door, sink with lighted mirror just outside pocket door, 2 twin beds, HDTV connected to wifi, 1/2 height wardrobe cabinet below TV, small fridge, coffee maker, tea kettle, small table for meals/work, and terrace overlooking back of property. Terrace had a chair and small cube. Prior reviews indicate better to be in back of building on higher floor. We were in back - it WAS very quiet, peaceful - got great non-interrupted sleep. Plenty of nice restaurants, a really nice supermarket, pharmacy, a Starbucks, and shops within walking distance. There are some homeless but they’re friendly and respectful and we never didn’t feel safe. (One actually held door open when I went into Walgreens and hands were full.). Check out was easy - take photo of QR code, leave door hanger, vacate unit, building. We were asked in texts a couple of times if all was well on our stay. Never needed to contact customer support. FOR IMPROVEMENT: We only found out lobby bar not open Monday or Tuesday - after arrival Monday (and we checked out Wednesday morning.) Still, they gave us two drink tokens - which we will use if/when we return. Very limited counter space and no shelves - none in toilet/shower room, a little area on either side of sink, small table (see note about lighting below), a few sq cm on nightstand between beds(see note about lighting below), and top of wardrobe closet. Very few power outlets - there is a cluster of 4 with 4 usb slots on small table, one behind nightstand(see note about lighting below), 2 on wall between small table and wardrobe, 2 at door, 2 hopefully GFI protected (didn’t see reset button) at sink - so unless you travel with a power *****, you’re going to have to sequence what gets recharged when thru your stay, or leave phone/ipad etc. away from bedside - not road warrior desireable. Coffee maker is Nespresso - lots of caffeinated pods zero decaf pods (for old timers or an evening cup. More caf pods in essentials cabinet on 1st floor lobby. They also provide small assortment of teas in room and more i

I’ve always had bad experiences with check in or just with front desk customer service. It was nice to have a nice experience for once. The lady that works the front desk was Super nice. She told kept me well informed of all that I am paying for including parking. Greeted with a smile was really professional. I think she said her name was Tofi. Bright young woman. Definitely will be staying here if I am in this area.

San Francisco gets enough bad press about street crime that we were concerned because we love to walk (and walk) in San Francisco. The Mission area around the Parker Guest House is completely safe (we saw many women out walking on their own at night) and full of fabulous restaurants, stores, small grocers, coffee shops, and coctail bars, a interesting range of house styles and a mix of residents of all ages that activley use all the amenities keeps the area vibrant. Delfina- the reviews saying it's unmatched held true- we had their shared rib dish- best beef we've ever had with the freshest ingredients; Bao-we're from Vancouver that has outstanding Asian food and this matched even our best; Indian and Mexican- lots that's excellent on nearby Valencia St from cheap tacos to moderatley priced Mexican bbq; great small grocer next to Delfina with fresh fruit, yogurt for light lunch or snacks. This neighbourhood is really wonderful to stay in. The Parker Guest House garden is a beautiful place to sit with a drink or to read a book. The rooms have lots of space, are fresh and pretty with huge comfy beds, and attention has been paid to small details in the rooms and main house like fresh flowers and a sun room with drinks lookinig out over the garden make it a great place to stay. Very central neighbourhood so driving into other areas was very easy. on site parking (out of sight) is a plus. Highly recomended.
