What guests think

Travellers describe The Laurel Inn, part of JdV by Hyatt as a comfortable, quiet base in a safe residential area near the Presidio, with friendly service, clean rooms, and convenient transit and dining nearby.

Rooms are generally spacious and comfortable, some with mid-century style and kitchenettes, though several guests report very weak shower water pressure and occasional signs of an older, motel-style building. On-site offerings are simple: lobby coffee and cookies and a small attached bar, with no real breakfast and paid parking that many find expensive; some mention construction nearby causing daytime noise. Best suited to travelers who value a calm neighborhood base over full-service amenities.

Great location but the facility seemed a bit old and tired and in need of remodeling. It was expensive compared to similar hotels and the on-site parking was an additional $45/night. I won't be staying here again.

So happy I discovered this gem of a hotel far from downtown dirt and grime. It’s like another world. Tough walking the hills but great dining and shops in all directions. Make sure to ask if you want daily cleaning of room. Very helpful staff and easy parking for $42. Even facing Presidio street, felt peaceful and quiet. My second business trip here. Will keep returning.

It was kind of a motor Inn vibe. Weren’t notified there would be major construction outside. We had room by elevator which was also loud. Cookies in lobby were nice touch. Close proximity to Presidio was nice.

Great location if one needs to be in lower pacific heights or presidio heights neighborhoods; easy walking and multiple transportation options. Rooms nice, staff very nice and helpful. Major issue and one item that may well prevent my return was terrible water pressure. Taking a shower was a trying experience; took forever. Attached bar Laureate I believe, very nice, small bites the limit for food but they were good; nice staff.

The Inn is right across the street from the Jewish Community Center, which I liked because I was able to walk to my training. They also accommodated my parking until I returned from training, which was much appreciated. All the staff I encountered were friendly and nice. They had fresh cookies, coffee, and tea in the lobby.

This is my favorite hotel to stay at in the area and I come back here again and again. Excellent service, very clean and very comfortable beds. It’s also in a safe walkable neighborhood with great cafe and bakery options nearby. They have hot tea and coffee in the lobby. I travel for work and find the desk in the room a nice place to work remotely.

After staying downtown and diliking it, I always choose the Laurel Inn for my bus trips now. Rooms are comfortable and bathroom updated and I really like the safe and calm feeling of the neighborhood. Looking forward to coming back when the building next door is finally built since 7-5 construction is unpleasant. Gill the manager tries hard to make it a nice experience.

One of only a few hotel options near Pacific Heights but basically an old remodeled Motel. Only problem is now they charge $50 per night for parking! Limited food service. No coffee in the room.

My go to stay in SF. Beautiful neighborhood and feels so safe and clean compared to downtown. Was really pricey this trip so hope I can afford to keep staying there. Also little concerned if cleaning is thorough. People bring in dogs and I’m very allergic. There was a nut on the rug behind a chair that never got vacuumed up. And little toothpaste splatter on bathroom wall.

The room was nice could have smelled better but clean. We were having my daughters wedding that weekend so all of the bridesmaids were getting ready in our room so we needed extra plates and forks and the staff was so accommodating. We also had another room for the next day and they let me check in earlier that day so I could have the key in plenty of time for the brides! Friendly staff and super helpful!!

Not sure I will stay anywhere else when visiting SF now that I have stayed here. The dirty and grimy feeling of union square and Soma doesn’t exist here. Stunning residential neighborhood and easy to walk to Presido plus great restaurants and shopping nearby. Took 30 min from airport so not that different from downtown. Outstanding staff. Modern decor in room. Room 308 very large and quiet. Are at Magic Flute and Spruce nearby…excellent. Walked to Brioche in Haifght and The Mill for breakfast and everything was excellent.

Great location. Gill is very responsive manager. Appreciate 3 floor request being honored and facing city view not Presidoo street. Room 306 and 307 little close to elevator but didn’t really hear much. Didn’t like laundry cart in front of room all day. I’m not a fan of the bathroom amenities smell but know some people enjoy.

This was a one day work trip where I needed a convenient boite at which to freshen up and take shelter for a few hours. The location, transportation access, and amenities far exceeded my expectations. The staff and location were lovely. I will stay again should my work bring me to the area. (And possibly even if not. Cute quiet neighborhood great access to green spaces and diverse food choices.)

This is our second stay at The Laurel Inn. Both times were because of my husband having surgery at UCSF. This is close to the hospital. We just parked our car at the hotel and then I would Uber back and forth to the hospital. The staff here at the hotel is just wonderful, and the rooms are not fancy but I would say they are charming and comfortable. I highly recommend this hotel. I would say that the lobby could use an update as that is where you get your first impression of the facility. Thank you for a very comfortable stay!
