What guests think

Hotel Garrett draws mixed reviews: guests often praise friendly staff, comfortable beds, and a central location near transit and venues, but many flag the surrounding streets, limited paid parking, and ongoing renovations or construction noise.

Rooms tend to be small with limited in-room amenities, and many lack air conditioning, though some are newly renovated and comfortable. Cleanliness feedback is inconsistent, ranging from very tidy spaces to reports of odors, mildew, or occasional pests. Breakfast is a light pastry-and-coffee setup, and some guests note added amenity fees; overall, expect a budget-minded stay with clear tradeoffs.

My wife and I stayed here expecting to park on site but was told the parking was full. We had to park approximately 10 minutes away for 40 dollars a night. Parking on site was apparently 34 dollars a night. Will not be staying here again

Property was great and room and hotel were clean and tidy but prepare for $70 parking overnight and some homeless outside property block, nobody will really mess with you but they are around so be aware for yourself and vehicle. Can't beat the price though.

The gym is in a property down and across the street with hours from 9 to 9 (inconvenient if you like to get up and out). One of the 2 treadmills is hazardous. It runs erratically and the front section wobbles as if it will fall back on itself. I almost injured myself as did others. The bed is comfortable and the continental breakfast impressive. To my surprise, front desk staff didn't want to key me back upstairs on my first morning since I had difficulty calling the elevator with 2 coffees and Danish in hand.

The room was very small, especially the shower—it was tiny. The sink wasn’t even in the bathroom; it was oddly placed right in front of the bed. The listing mentioned a pool, but failed to mention that it’s actually located across the street in a completely different hotel. I wouldn’t stay here again.

My rating for the hotel has nothing to do with my interactions with staff but as soon as I went into the elevator to go to my room I seen a cockroach on the wall and was immediately disgusted. I did not spend much time In the room or hotel since I only stayed one night for a show. Hope the cleanliness improves because I’m sure other people aren’t going to want to stay at an a hotel with roaches crawling everywhere.

Pros:The hotel room itself was clean inside and the bed was very comfortable. They have an ice machine and water dispenser but that price is included in their “amenities price”. The continental breakfast was nice. They have security walking around the premises so that felt a little safer. The parking lot is small but at least if you are lucky enough to secure a spot your car is safe because of security walking around. Cons: There is no thermostat in the rooms and they are doing construction on one of the other floors so opening the window wasn’t an option due to noise. You can also smell really pungent urine outside the property as well as inside the hallways and rooms. The lobby didn’t smell surprisingly but I think it’s because they have air freshener. The man that checked us in wasn’t very friendly and was very hard to hear. Parking is 30/day. It definitely doesn’t feel like a neighborhood. The pool isn’t at this hotel as listed but is across the street at their sister property. The bathroom in the lobby was being worked on so make sure you don’t have to use the restroom right away when you arrive. Our bathroom fan didn’t work either.

First impressions were not great. Check in is supposed to be at 4pm, we arrived at 10pm and was told our room is not ready. 6 hours and it still wasn't ready? Then I asked about parking, and was told that their parking lot is full and was directed to park elsewhere. Which is already frustrating because prior to booking, it said there was parking on-site. We then drove to the other parking lots only to find out that they were more expensive and was not allowed in and out privileges. I went back to the hotel while my partner kept driving around to look for parking, and was told by another receptionist that there was parking available. Sent us on a wild goose chase for nothing. We were already extremely tired, so we just wanted to get into our room to shower and sleep. BUT, when we walked peered into the shower, I found hair all over the shower floor. It wasn't even cleaned. It honestly felt like they didn't have our room prepared and just rushed to get a room for us without cleaning it beforehand.

I wish I was traveling for something good. This was a funeral and I arrived late and the front desk was not very nice during the day. I had to wait until closer to 4 pm. I checked the front desk at 3:30 and the evening crew was there they were a lot nicer and more welcoming with the way my day had already went. I’m glad they lowered the deposit to $200 instead of the $300 that was expected. I understand the parking fee for the hotel parking but you should be able to get more than one pass if there is a second car. The parking is hard to find and driving in the area is stressful.

Location

Central location near Union Square, Moscone, theaters, and transit like BART makes getting around easy. However, many mention the surrounding streets feel unsafe or noisy due to homelessness and open drug use, so caution is advised, especially at night.

There are more homeless ppl in SF since Covid and in this area. Didn’t feel too unsafe but I would still be cautious. There is no AC in the room only a ceiling fan which came as a surprise to me, no fridge but there is a microwave downstairs. Great location to stay over the weekend maybe 2 nights but nothing longer. About an 8 min walk to CIVIC Center BART and nearest streetcar station.

Ive seen a few reviews mention the homeless population around the area, which is true but the area still felt safe and walkable. The room itself wasnt too big but it was nice and comfortable. The bed was very nice as well. Only thing I would note is that the window in the bathroom didnt lock which wasn't an issue for me but I thought I should still note it. As stated previously, I would definitely stay again.

The hotel is a small, quiet, and centric place. It is quite close to most attractions in the San Francisco area. Contrary to most of the offers of included breakfast, the breakfast was quite select. Instead of waffles and eggs in most breakfast-included locations, you have bread, sweet bread, and some minor amenities.

I just stayed at the hotel the past few 4 days. I was on the 2nd floor and it smelt like poop. The bedsheets smelt the same as well. The breakfast was good though and the staff was nice. They cleaned my room everyday. I would have rated this hotel higher if not for the smell and the neighbourhood didn’t look safe. A lot of homeless people on the walk from the hotel to the Moscone conference center.
