Inn at the Opera

Inn at the Opera was absolutely delightful. They really should update their photos, because they're obviously quite old and I was astonished by how much nicer the room was in person. It was, in fact, three entirely separate rooms (bedroom, living room, kitchen/dining room) and two large bathrooms. Way bigger than expected. We were also delighted to find a king bed rather than a queen as described, which was extremely comfortable with down pillows and cotton linens. The staff were wonderful. This stay was excellent. Far beyond our expectations, and a remarkably good value.

The inn is a very charming boutique hotel perfectly located near the Civic Center, opera, symphony, and ballet in a neighborhood with lots of great restaurants. The staff are very pleasant and helpful. My room was small but very comfortable (maybe too small for two people). And it was a great value for Hayes Valley!

Modern feel, very up to date decorations. Rooms are an adequate size considering it is an old building. Bathroom is a nice size too. Good mirrors/lighting. Free tea/coffee on downstairs floor, always topped up. Staff are accommodating. Turned up to a room that hadn’t been made (small mistake by the property), however staff very accommodating/helpfull. Happily moved us to a different room, which we felt was slightly better. Windows in our room open fully, so in summer, heat shouldn’t be too much of an issue. Although no AC in rooms.

Nice staff, beautiful building, lobby & rooms were gorgeous and unique. Highly recommend getting a suite, as the rooms are small, but our extra living space made it the perfect size. Pro tip - there’s a Trader Joe’s just 3 short blocks away, which we didn’t discover until our last day. Mass transit is also very close by, too. I would definitely stay here again!

At check in, Elizabeth was friendly, and informative, detailed info on garage access perfectly. Suite was larger than expected, and nicer. The bed was luxurious. TVs were older and slower, but enhanced internet ($10/day) was very good. Kitchenette was nice, fridge is a the usual mini fridge - so difficult to do anything more than reheat stuff. Linens were very good. In room coffee was good (Lavazza grounds for you to brew) or get a cup in the lobby. In the halls, you can hear conversations in rooms. But in our room, we did not hear conversations. Bathrooms very nicely designed and roomy. For the neighborhood - it was around Christmas, so the opera and symphony were in full swing, with people Of all ages dressed in finery. They were ignored by the street people. I never felt threatened or unsafe. Recognition to Elizabeth, and Paris, at the front desk, for their friendly manner and advice on a variety of issues.
