Hotel Del Sol, a Joie de Vivre Boutique Hotel

Only issue was construction work inside hotel courtyard with loud power tools started at 7:30 AM on Sunday morning! $35 fee for parking in an open lot, unguarded, is steep. We parked for free on the street in front of hotel.

We weren't aware the entire hotel was under retrofitting construction. Noisy during the day, but quiet and comfortable evenings. Elevator is also under construction, but the very friendly, ameniable staff offered to carry our luggage up. The smell of fresh baked chocolate chip cookies hits you as soon as you walk into the office. They were delicious! Small continental breakfast offered, which was nice. We had a great stay. The beds and room were very comfortable. We would definitely stay there again. Not sure when construction will be over, it was a small inconvenience for nice hotel and the a warm and friendly Edric was so helpful!

Nothing like advertised and they were doing construction which of course is never advised ahead of time, only when one checks in.

The host Edric treated us like we were his personal friends that had to come to visit. The staff was so welcoming and friendly. Even though it was under construction, even the workers would say good morning to us. I loved the atmosphere there. Very positive vibe. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat, the next time I'm in San Francisco.

I really enjoyed my stay at this smartly renovated motor lodge. I had quite a bit of heavy luggage with me and there is no elevator (the ground level is parking) so they upgraded me to a spacious suite for the "'inconvenience". The staff is very friendly and they even carried my luggage upstairs for me! A self-serve breakfast is included (bagels, scones, muffins, etc.) and coffee is available in the lobby all day! The hotel also has a heated outdoor pool (rare in San Francisco). This is an unbelievable value tucked away in the beautiful Cow Hollow/Marina District neighborhoods. I highly recommend this hotel!
