It felt like a boarding house. No common area to sit on a couch and relax. Our window opened onto an air shaft and no view. Neighborhood parking is nonexistent so only stay if using Uber. The bed and bath were clean. However I would not stay there again.

Overall The Grove was a great stay. The staff is friendly, rooms are clean/comfortable & their check in/check out is simple. I appreciate that they offer luggage drop off & they also had our room ready a hour sooner than check in. Street parking is difficult to find but I was able to get a spot after doing some loops. I would stay here for my next visit.

The Grove Inn was a comfortable and convenient stay. The room was clean, the bedding was very comfortable, and I slept extremely well. The location was easy to access and worked well for my plans in San Francisco. That said, the overall feel was more simple than elegant, and there was a noticeable room odor that detracted from the experience. While it was perfectly fine for a short stay, it didn’t quite match the ‘boutique’ feel suggested in some reviews. Overall, a decent option if comfort and location are your priorities.

Wonderful experience. Wonderful room and staff. Clean and well appointed. One of the best locations in The City, only a block to Alamo Square and the Painted Ladies. Easy walk to Hayes Valley, and the Castro. And access to the 22,5,6,7 busses. Great place to be and awesome place to stay.

Staff was very nice and great at communicating. Check in was super easy. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The towels were nice and thick. It reminds me a lot of a hotel in Venice Italy. The only thing that isn't easy is parking. The streets are all 2 hour parkiing or permit required. The recommended garage is aboiut 5 blocks away. It was safe and easy to park at but not super convenient.

Perfect place to stay in San Francisco. The area is very walkable with the Alamo Square Park right up the street, and Hayes Valley down the street with a quaint community to shop and dine. Staff greeted us immediately and was very helpful in getting us settled in to the room. Room was very clean and comfortable with a mini fridge and coffee maker. The lobby area is a shared space which can be utilized from 9am to 5pm. Much more intimate than a sterile hotel in mid-city. Highly recommend.
