The location trade-off

What you're near — and what you're not

Walkable
  • Presidio trails and overlooks
  • Golden Gate Bridge approach
  • Crissy Field and the waterfront
Cut off from
  • Downtown, the Mission, and nightlife (ride away)
  • Limited transit; feels remote at night
Rooms & rate

What you're paying for

A small number of rooms in a restored historic building; complimentary touches like breakfast and an evening reception are typical, though confirm at booking. Quieter rooms face the courtyard.
