9.2/10 Wonderful! (729 reviews)
Wow! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Grove! The location was absolutely perfect. Very walkable and public transit near the hotel takes you to many main attractions. The location is convenient. The neighborhood is charming. The hotel is authentic to San Francisco. And the rooms were pristine clean. We actually live - hour away but decided to do a short day trip, and staying here and the surrounding areas gave us a totally different view of San Francisco (in the best way possible!). There are delicious and enjoyable shops, restaurants, coffee shops, and activities nearby including Fillmore Jazz Distric and Japantown (among others). There are a handful of beautiful parks with stunning views only a short distance away. Street parking is available, but can be tough to find and has restrictions during the week (but we are familiar with SF so were prepared). The rooms were very clean and the hotel was quiet and quaint. If I ever come back for a stay, I will hands down stay here again.
