Hotel Garrett

Onsite parking is limited, tight, and paid, though security is often present; overflow requires nearby garages. The pool and gym are at a sister property across the street, and ongoing renovations or occasional elevator issues are noted.

Cleanliness is mixed: many found rooms tidy and bathrooms refreshed, but others reported strong odors, mildew or mold, leftover hair, and occasional pests. Hallway or room smells are a recurring complaint.

Rooms are small and basic but feature very comfortable beds; many lack air conditioning, relying on fans and open windows (often without screens). Some spaces are newly renovated and quirky, though street noise and limited in-room amenities are common.

Service is generally friendly and helpful, with many shout-outs to front desk staff and security. A few guests reported slow or inconsistent check-in, miscommunication, or unhelpful responses.

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.

Breakfast is a light continental spread of pastries, fruit, and coffee; several guests praised the quality, while others found it limited or not as advertised.
