Bay Area hotel guide. Highgate Independent hotel in Bay Area, California

"Breakfast is really good "

"Did not eat at the hotel nor did I have a car while staying. "

"Very lovely staff! Great location - walkable to some great restaurants. Charming hotel. "

"The hotel was very well taken care of. The rooms were clean and nice, the bed was on the firm side. For being a very old building everything about it was good! The surrounding area was different, easy to get to the Baseball park if you ride the subway train "

"Positive remarks: easy on-site parking for reasonable price, cool decorative elements in lobby and vintage furniture. The front desk staff and cleaning staff were nice. Negative remarks: the elevator was super scary and has not been inspected or certified by the city in 10+ years, broken buttons, rickety sounds, we mostly took the stairs. The bed linens seemed very old, just a sheet and paper-thin comforter. The photos online make the place look fancy, and it probably was 40 years ago, but it is now quite worn and shabby. "

"Ac is okay, pillow was given 3, but rather soft. Overall good location, good and decent hotel, but whenever nearby room door is closed, the air will make a loud sound to my door too. So when chambermaid is cleaning up rooms around mine, it will be endless slamming sound on my door too. "

"What a wonderful clean hotel with friendly staff and perfect location. "

"Very central. Clean. Lighting is a bit harsh - they need to get some warmer lighting. The parking also gave a bit of a sticker shock. "

"Very disappointed. The hotel asked, prior to my stay, if I had any requests. One that was offered was a room that was quiet (away from the street, etc.) and I asked for a quiet room..."quiet would be nice." The first morning I was awakened by several workers who were doing something in an adjacent room. They were extremely loud and this went on for several hours. I checked out that night...a day and a half early. "
