FOUND Hotel Carlton, Nob Hill
Good budget hotel. The room had definitely been cleaned and bed linens washed but one of the bed linens had gross stains and the bathroom was moldy. Very helpful staff!

Hotel Julian
This is a cool old hotel that has been modernized. I love the upper floor views and appreciate the friendly staff. The big bummer was that the bar and restaurant were closed. Also, the tub drain did not allow for drawing a bath. Other than that, it was a comfortable stay with yummy local restaurants ...

Great hotel. Neighborhood itself not so fun unless you are going to the theatre. Service elevator a bit noisy if your room is is in the back corner of the hotel. Front desk staff very friendly and helpful. Nice breakfast option. Comfortable bed. Clean. Nice bathroom.
