“Hayes Valley Inn emphasizes the essentials: a superb location and wallet-friendly rates in a pricey city. I found the shared bathroom setup perfectly adequate for shorter stays, and the ease of reaching the staff remotely reassuring. While not a full-service experience, it hits the mark for budget-conscious travelers who prioritize location.”
