Golden Gate Hotel

Like an old-fashioned pension, the Golden Gate has kindly owners and simple rooms with eclectic furniture, in a 1913 Edwardian hotel perched above the downtown fray. Rooms are snug, clean and comfortable, and most have private bathrooms – some with antique claw-foot bathtubs. Enormous croissants, homemade cookies, and a resident cat provide TLC after long days of sightseeing.
