Forest Knolls Vacation Packages

This hotel offers spacious, clean, no luxury rooms. However, the free parking and having a clean microwave and refrigerator and shower water pressure were awesome. It is in the Tenderloin area which was across the street from a rehab hotel/apartment. We didn’t feel comfortable going out walking at night due to the neighborhood. There was a security guard on duty which helped our sense of safety. The WiFi connection was horrible, not advisable if you’re expecting to have a stable connection.

The hotel is clean enough and functions regularly. The issues I had were with checkin. I asked to check in an hour early (usually hotel.com guests get an early checkin if requested . The guy at the desk said i could checkin early for an $20 additional dollars. Not wanting to wait an hour in my car I said ok. Then came the parking . The hotels .com booking made it seem like parking was included but no, that was also was an additional $20 and when my partner arrived later another $20x. Overall oi thought I was getting a good decent price for my stay but in the end these additional charges made it quite pricey. I feel I was mislead by hotels .com and by the SF Central Hotel . When boooking I rememebered thinking that the parking was included. Otherwise stay was ordinary. Bathroom had some mold or some staining around tub that looked like it. My room was also next to janitorial/housekkeeping closet so there was doors slamming during the daylight hours starting early.

Great place

A fantastic location - within easy reach of the Hayes Valley restaurants, Haight-Ashbury and, on Fourth of July weekend, the brilliant Filimore Jazz Festival. It was a real treat to stay in what felt like an authentic neighbourhood in this beautiful Victorian building.

This is a beautiful property with a beautiful view!
