Greenwich Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel manager, Nema, was absolutely a joy. We were in town early, reached out, and she made accommodations for us to drop our luggage off, then she took the time to walk through all the bus routes, local restaurants, and other sites to see. After the trip was over needed an additional night stay in the back end of a trip, Nemo went out of her way to make accommodations. The Inn itself was in perfect location for everything you could want, restaurants, shops, buses, cable, cars, Alcatraz, Golden Gate, Bridge, Fishermans wharf. I would highly recommend anybody in that area to take advantage of this hidden gem."
