Inn at the Presidio — Hotel in San Francisco

We stayed at the Inn for two nights April 27 and 28. The property and the stay were both much better than expected. We have visited San Francisco many times, always staying at hotels either on Nob Hill or on Union Square. This property and location is particularly unique and was perfectly suited to our interests. We were very warmly greeted when we arrived early and our room was ready at the moment of our arrival. We chatted with another couple that had arrived shortly after we did and we discovered that we were both there to celebrate wedding anniversaries. This was a conversation that was overheard by the staff and to our surprise, when we returned to our room before going to dinner there was a card of congratulations for our anniversary signed by the entire staff along with a complimentary bottle of wine and a box of chocolates! Very nice touch!

The hotel is in very good condition, the rooms are neat and well-kept and are extremely comfortable. We stayed in a Classic King Tier 3. Very nice room, but if you are on Tier 3, you do not have access to the second-floor porch. When we return to the Inn we plan on booking a Classic King Tier 2 so that we may enjoy the porch. Words cannot adequately describe how much of a different San Francisco feel you get from staying at the Presidio as opposed to a traditional hotel location in the City. True, there is not the availability of higher-end maid and butler service, there is no room service with meals to be delivered to your room. But what you do get is immediately upon your exit from the door of the property you enter into the grand expanse of what is the Presidio! A very long and distant view of the Bay, massive areas of lawn and trees and foliage. Row after row of architecturally-beautiful buildings, all dripping in a long and rich history which is so unique to San Francisco and to California. There is no clanging of the Cable-Car bells, no sirens to be heard all hours of the day, no dodging in and out of herds of people. No fear of being bumped into and being had by a pick-pocket. There is the notable absence of the street people and pan-handlers that are frequented at other tourist spots throughout the City. There is a great spans of trails and paths that will take you deep into wooded areas to the extent that you will feel as though the city were miles away. If you enjoy a walk, and even a hike, this is the place for you! There is the availability of a shuttle service that will take you into the city, which we did for dinner the two evenings we stayed. We had lunch on site while we were there. This first day we ate at the Canteen, which is nice, but we preferred the fare offered at the Bowling Center, of all places! When we returned after dinner Tuesday evening, we were a bit chilled from our evening's walk and we asked if there was cocoa, and to our pleasure, Sergio prepared two cups for us (no charge) which we enjoyed out in the back at the fire pit.

This is a very delightful property and you should go and experience it first hand. This is a San Francisco experience like you have never had! San Francisco is a wonderful one-of-a-kind City. The Presidio experience makes it all that much...

I first came across the Inn at the Presidio last year (Nov 2023) We took the Presidio Walk to the Golden Gate Bridge with Julie from JB Walking Tours. The tour had many amazing stops. I enjoyed the stop at Inn at the Presidio. We stopped for water at the Inn at the Presidio which caught my attention. It looked like such a cute, quaint place to stay and it was decorated for Christmas. I knew that Inn at the Presidio would be a spectacular place to stay with a lot of history and breathtaking views. I promised myself that the next time I was in San Francisco, I would treat myself to a few nights at the Inn at the Presidio. ||Anytime that I have called the Inn at the Presidio, I have received attentive, courteous, excellent prompt service. I am looking forward to my stay at the Inn at the Presidio this week (Nov 26-28). (confirmation number 76600)|The only thing that surprised me was the inflexible cancellation policy at the Inn at the Presidio. Life does happen and you do need to be reasonable. Originally, I had another room booked at the Inn at the Presidio for Nov 25-Nov 28 (confirmation number 76607)|Yesterday (Sat Nov 23 at 1:12PM) I called the Inn at the Presidio to request if I could arrive Nov 26 instead. I just wanted to cancel one night. However, I was told that I was outside the 72-hour cancellation policy and I would be charged the first night. I ended up just cancelling the entire three nights. I had to pay $404.25 as a penalty for cancelling outside the 72-hour policy. I do find this unreasonable in that I was just trying to cancel one night not the entire stay. It is also a holiday week and the room could easily be filled. I know when I initially called Inn at the Presidio a few weeks ago, I was put on a wait list so there are many people eager to stay at the Inn at the Presidio. |I would say to future visitors of the Inn at the Presidio, the inn looks like a wonderful, educational place to stay but be careful, their cancellation policy is strict and unreasonable. You may find yourself having to pay a hefty penalty fee for cancelling outside of their 72-hour...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Inn at the Presidio is such a special place, and it was a relaxing escape! Tucked away in a serene part of San Francisco on the lovely Presidio, this charming inn strikes a perfect balance between tranquility and access to the city’s attractions and all the beauty of the Presidio.

The suites are beautifully designed, blending modern comforts with a nod to the inn’s fascinating history as a former military post. Each room has its own character, with stunning decor that reflects the rich heritage of the location. My room has a cozy fireplace and spacious living room. I felt right at home the moment I stepped inside.

One of my favorite experiences was sitting by the outside fire and meeting other guests. The inviting atmosphere encourages you to slow down and savor the moment—ideal for those looking to recharge. But for those who want to enjoy nature there is a hiking path right behind the inn.

The breakfast each morning was a nice continental spread that provided a comforting start to the day. The wine and cheese reception in the evening was a wonderful way to unwind after a day of exploring, allowing for easy conversation with fellow guests while enjoying some delightful offerings.

Parking is right next to the Inn but there is a daily cost to park. The area is safe and the views of the main post with the San Francisco Bay as the background is so cool. Two great restaurants in just steps along with some museums. The parade grounds and NPS visitor is nearby. Guests have access to the YMCA which is in walking distance. Complimentary bikes are available for guests.

If you’re searching for a place to escape and unwind, I can’t recommend the Inn at the Presidio enough. It’s a perfect combination of comfort, history, and charm that left me feeling refreshed...
