The Hayes Valley Inn's location is perfectly placed in the center of the city which makes all of San Francisco's unique neighborhoods very accessible. There are plenty of bars, restaurants, and coffee locations nearby too. It was a decent place to come back to after a long day of touring the city.
Parking was a little confusing for someone who is from out of town. We ended up parking the car at the Performing Arts Garage that was a few steps down the street. We just didn't feel comfortable leaving our car on the street overnight.
