Hotels Near Kelloch & Velasco Mini Park in San Francisco

We chose this hotel because of the location for getting to the trolley, a Hop-on Hop-off tour stop, the local bus system, and the nearby BART system. For this it did not disappoint. The price is reasonable, and the hotel was very clean, and the staff was very friendly. From this, I digress. The noise level during the nights, was that a very loud level. All from external. Sirens, music, loud cars and trucks going by, garbage trucks in the middle of the night, quite a bit of yelling, and the like. Normal ear plugs did not help. If you stay here, you will need some heavy duty ear plugs. We get up earlier and the hotel lobby coffee was not ready ever before 7:00 a.m. there is coffee in the room, however if you need real creamer, you'll be out of luck until 7:00 approximately. Not a terrible review, just want people to be aware.

We stayed in the Barnes for four nights in June 2023. Firstly, the hotel is really well located, right by Union Square with all its transport links and 20-30 minute walk away from the Embarcadero and Oracle Stadium. The room was clean and cleaned daily, staff were all very friendly, and it has a great gym (we stayed at the Galleria Park during our last stay in SF which was more expensive and the gym wasn’t fantastic). The bathroom was a little on the small side but the room was a decent size with a comfortable (but slightly on the softer side) bed, fridge, huge TV, coffee making facilities and a table with two bar stools. The hotel is good for the price you pay. We didn’t spend huge amounts of time in the room as we were busy sightseeing and it was perfect for what we needed. As other reviewers have pointed out, some parts of it are being renovated but we were not impacted by any noise so we had no complaints on that side. I note one other review mentioned noise from the road, we did experience that but it didn’t bother us.

We stayed for a week in September. Lovely hotel with friendly attentive staff. Check in was smooth. We had our luggage taken to our room as our room was up some steps and past the swimming pool before reaching the elevator to our room. While waiting for our luggage I looked around the room and noticed that there was no kettle - only the base of a coffee machine - and no hairdryer. When I told the gentleman who bought our luggage about the missing items they were both replaced within 10 minutes. Our room was spacious and I loved the dressing/vanity area outside the bathroom. We were fortunate enough to have a balcony overlooking O'Farrell Street, loved sitting having my morning tea or evening G&T people watching! There is no restaurant but that didn't bother us. You get a discount voucher for breakfast at a diner around the corner but it gets extremely busy. We ate there once at 7am when it was quite. Some mornings we got cereal from Walgreens around the corner and ate in Union Square. We got the Bart from the airport to Powell St station . The Handlery is a short walk from this station. Also, the old trolley bus terminus is near the Powell St station too which takes you to Pier 39 area. Market Street is also close by for buses and tram/trolley buses (the newer ones) and walk down to the end of Market Street to reach Embarcadero and the Ferry Building. Loved our stay in this hotel.

Very convenient location, easy to go different places. Hotel gave certain amount cash to buy snacks drinks or fruits, which was very good for me. So I can use it for breakfast and coffee.

There is no parking lot, only the roadside table, a limited number, you can park nearby parking. The hotel staff are very friendly, don't expect breakfast, simple bread and milk.

Good location, restaurants nearby. Room is clean. Only thing that needs to be upgraded is coffee machine which is bit outdated. Food & beverage on main lobby is good and affordable, had a pepperoni pizza which was so good. Would book again when in SF

I want to share my recent experience at this hotel, which I regretfully cannot recommend. The hotel has an attractive location but is marred by a lack of basic amenities and poor customer service. During our six-night stay, we discovered on the second morning that there was no hot water. We informed the receptionist, Andy, but were met with a dismissive and rude attitude. We were informed that there would be no hot water for the rest of the day, and this lack of basic amenities was for a total of three days of the six days of our stay. Please note that according to California Civil Code §1940.2, it is the responsibility of the hotel to provide and maintain hot and cold running water for guests. To make matters worse, when we requested to check out early due to this issue, we were offered no refunds as our stay was prepaid on expedia. Expedia told us that the property was to decide while the property said it was expedia.. As I am a hotelier myself, I know it is the hotel’s call in the end. We were offered a shower facility in a separate building which was very inconvenient as we had to walk out of our building and take elevators to get there.. This was not a suitable alternative to the basic amenity that we had paid for. To add insult to injury, at time of check out, Andy offered us only $80 as a refund on a reservation worth over $1500, what a humiliating act, we could not believe it! Better not to offer anything, because really it is a shame to offer this to people.. We were one of the many customers to complain, and we saw that the receptionists had no sympathy towards anyone.. Yes, all businesses are there to make money, but not like this. What they did is close to stealing from someone! I cannot recommend this hotel to other travelers, and I will continue to write on other platforms to warn people..

The facility was nice and very close to the hotel. The shuttle gets very busy from the airport but it comfortable and the drivers are great.

We loved everything about our stay. Starting with the warm greeting, the fabulous service, the amazing accommodations and the incredible views. We can’t wait to come back for another visit. If you need to recharge your batteries I highly recommend this location.

Near the Berkeley Marina, the entire hotel complex is very large. The rooms are large enough, clean and tidy. There are ice machines and drink machines on each floor. The surrounding environment is excellent. Sunrise and sunset, walk on the seaside, enjoy! It is not recommended to include breakfast. I feel that the breakfast coupon is an inducement for guests to spend money. They also have to pay tax and tips. It is really not cheap. Of course, the restaurant environment is still very good, except for the enjoyment type.
