“The Grove Inn, nestled in the historic Alamo Square district, feels more like a well-kept secret than a hotel. I appreciate the blend of Victorian charm and modern updates, especially the renovated bathrooms and comfortable rooms. Its proximity to the Painted Ladies and easy access to public transport make it a perfect base for exploring San Francisco, plus the personalized, attentive service makes it a standout.”
