"Love the hotel"

A verified traveler stayed at Hotel Garrett

5/5 Excellent

"A Charming Gem in San Francisco – 10/10! I absolutely loved the antique charm of this hotel, it felt like stepping into a piece of history. The happy hour was a whole vibe with great music, stunning aesthetics, and a fun bartender and server who made the experience even better. The staff throughout my stay were kind, professional, and incredibly helpful from check-in to check-out. A surprise highlight was the gym! I wasn’t expecting one, but it had everything I needed and got the job done. The rooms were spacious, and the bed was super comfortable, perfect after a long day of exploring. What truly set this place apart was the character and history. Knowing the hotel was featured in Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo added such a cool layer to the atmosphere. The artwork and overall vibe were a solid 10/10. Highly recommend this spot if you’re heading to San Francisco. I’ll definitely be back on my next trip! "
