The Grove Inn was great for a quick trip into San Francisco. Close enough to the area. Be mindful it is San Francisco and the streets are definitely full of hilss. If you can walk, everything is close enough. If you can't, Ubers are always available. The hotel itself was clean and secure with the charm of the Victorian Homes that are known for the area. Will definitely return to stay again. Thank you Azizza!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at The Grove Inn. The front desk agent was friendly and courteous, and the hotel itself was clean and well maintained. My room was exceptionally clean, the bed was comfortable, and the shower was amazing. I especially appreciated that it’s a small hotel with only a few rooms, located in a quiet residential neighborhood. The area felt safe, walkable, and very pleasant. I only wish I had been able to stay longer, but I will absolutely be booking again in the future.

I had a great stay! Was a solo female traveler on business, and the hotel felt very safe to stay in. It’s right next to the 22 bus which takes you all across the city. Room was clean and cozy, and appreciated all the amenities! Walls are a bit thin, but nothing new especially having lived in apartment buildings.

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.

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.
