Nice older place, clean but the carpets are dated and the parking is tight for an SUV. Lots of places to eat around the hotel. Felt safe walking around at night.

Great spot
great spot. would be walkable to any where if SF wasnt a collection of hills. cheap uber ride away from the wharf, china town, coit tower, and the coolest indie book store that will give you the eye if you ask for the hunger games....or any other "main stream" book.

A gem!
A little gem in the city! I'd keep this one to myself but it's too good not to share. Free parking in SF, ultra clean, a block from dining and stores, amazing shower, comfy beds. It is definitely for those who will spend most of the time sightseeing but still want a safe and comfortable place to recharge. It can be noisy but cities are noisy. If you're on a lower budget, stay here. Save money for experiencing the city.

Cozy, Clean, and Comfortable
The location is awesome near China Town, SF street car, and the property provides free parking. The staff was friendly, and the front desk was able to do an early check-in at 12:35pm. This place is spotless, and I will definitely return.

We enjoyed our stay at the Castle Inn. The location is perfect as a launching point for exploring the beautiful bay city. Onsite parking was a bonus as was the local dining options right round the corner. Highly recommend the Street Restaurant and Bar just round the corner on Polk Street for a dinner after a day exploring the city.
