Formerly the landmark Hotel Richelieu, this hotel is now a member of the La Quinta hotel group. Fortunately, the charm has been maintained in this Victorian-style, 1908 building. Although the arrival of chain management meant the departure of complimentary parking, a few perks were added, including ...

A clean, decent and affordable hotel in the heart of san Franciscos cathedral hill. Overnight parking is $20. The hotel has a shabby, European charm to it. The rooms are clean, the bathroom small, and some rooms have wardrobes rather than closets. It's an old building with exposed pipes in many room...

Good, cost friendly hotel, well situated on bus routes to access San Francisco. Staff were friendly and helpful, giving us a check in prior to 1 pm, and changing our room after a smoking room had been allocated when we requested non smoking. Bed comfortable, bathroom and linen clean, air conditionin...

I enjoyed the hotel staff and location. Again the continental breakfast was nice. Room 316 needs updating with bedding, wall coverings and in particular the flooring. I would stay in this hotel again however I would ask for a different room unless the upgrades were made and smell was gone. Liked the...

I want a room that had extra room, they say they only had one. So when I went to the room, it was small one with queen size bed. I went down to the lobby. Talked to someone and they gave us a bigger one with king size bed. One day they did not come to clean the room until it was really late. They we...

I was kind of wary when I read the review of this hotel. Most reviews mentioned that the location is awful, not safe, etc. However after staying there, I think the hotel is pretty safe. Sure, there are a few panhandlers near mel's restaurant (which is beside the hotel), but I never had any problems....

If you need a budget choice in so, this is a very good one.

It took several hours to get this straightened out. Then, when I came back later to check in, they were overbooked and tried to get me to go check in at a hotel next door. She then told me I could have a room, but they didn't have any keys and someone would have to let me into my room each time. The...

My weekend experience was great at the opal. The clerk on duty when I checked in late at 2:30 a.m. Was very knowledgeable about the city, mass transit, etc. The room was clean and comfortable.

The hotel itself was okay. In a very bad part of San Francisco. Very trashy and dirty neighborhood. Lots of homeless. We think it is very unfair that we are notified by the hotel that the parking is $28.50 per night. At the hotels request, we could not park on the street due to the bad location. We ...

The hotel itself was very nice, this is the 2nd time I have been a guest. I was on business so I didn't need anything very fancy. The room was clean and I had over 50 channels to watch on the TV.
