Washington Square Inn

I have stayed at this location 3 times over the past 15 years. This is the first time in a while, and it seems to be a little less than I remebered. The location is perfect but not having any staff on-site is a little concerning. If you are looking for a place close to most things this is the place foe you. The contact we had was attentive and helpful so that was good.

My first trip to San Francisco was a 50+ year old female embarking on my also first, solo trip to the west coast ever. This hotel was the absolute perfect choice in the perfect location for me. Easy entry, they text you a code to let yourself in the lobby. My flight landed about 3 hrs before check in but a cleaning lady immediately asked my name and they dropped everything to get me into my room within 20 minutes of arriving. There is no front desk person, they text you a code to your room...all very easy to navigate. I did bring a small soft side cooler along because I read there is no frig in the rooms. There is an ice maker available though so I kept my pop in the shower in the cooler covered with ice....worked great!! Also bring with plenty of plug in adapters for electronics...this is a historic building so I was prepared but just FYI. The lobby has free coffee, ice water, tea and more available along with an ice maker. Overall the hotel was clean and had such a cozy vibe. Located in North Beach, easy walk to the Wharf, China Town, Coit Tower and more. Two blocks to cable car stop, bus stops and more. North Beach in itself has bars, restaurants, parks, and more within a block or two...so easy. Quaint neighborhood...LOVED IT. I stayed in the Junior Suite with a window seat overlooking the park and cathedral. WELL worth a few bucks extra!!! I would 10000% stay here again!!!

Cozy inn in the heart of North Beach. Many restaurants and bars nearby and a big green space across the street. Other than a cleaning person there is no staff on site, but that was not an issue for me. Nice lobby with a coffee maker and water. I feel at home here. One concern for anyone who may have trouble carrying luggage upstairs - no elevator. Otherwise a good place to stay if you want to be in North Beach.

Great little hotel

This hotel is located in the heart of North Beach, one of the most historic and colorful sections of San Francisco. You would have to stay there weeks to take in all of the fine restaurants--especially Italian and seafood restaurants--that North Beach offers. The hotel is across from Washington Park, which nicely mitigates the chic urban vibe. There is excellent, frequent bus transportation to all parts of the city.

Closer to shops and restaurants! Great time.

Washington Square Inn is in a good location, overlooking the square. Room was clean and spacious, though noisy as we were at the front of the building looking on to the square. The windows didn't seem to keep any of the noise out.

The Washington Inn is in a perfect location in North Beach, San Francisco! We loved the area and all it had to offer. No need for a car. The check-in was easy with the codes, however I missed a front desk person. The room itself was spacious but needed a deep clean…Turning on the fan the dust went everywhere. The pillows needed replacing as soon as possible. But overall, we had a wonderful couple of nights in a fantastic location!

Rooms was tiny and had a huge bleach stain on the carpet. Pain in the ass to use the wireless codes and keys and no reception or anyone to help etc if needed. Zero hot water and lobby noise was SO loud. Location is amazing!
