"Superb, sprawling B&B set in two adjoining historic Victorians."
Fodor's "Decked out in ornate poster beds, opulent Oriental rugs, and precious Victorian artifacts, guest quarters are everything from cozy... to spacious enough to fit a family." Full review
Lonely Planet "The stately Inn San Francisco occupies an elegant 1872 Italianate-Victorian mansion, impeccably maintained and packed with period antiques." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Set in an 1872 mansion, the 21-room property brims with authentic Victorian details... minus the chintz (not a weathered doily in sight)." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The owner of this 1872 Victorian Mansion will charm you with hospitality. The spacious rooms are individually decorated in Victorian themes."
Time Out "This friendly Italianate Victorian, built in 1872, invites you to sprawl about in its beautifully restored sitting rooms, rather than just admire them." Full review
BlackBook "Victorian to the hilt. Beautifully preserved 1872 Italianate mansion, once a farm breeding champion racehorses and now the oldest existing hotel in town."
