A classic San Francisco Victorian built in 1906, The Monroe is a favorite stopping place for travelers who plan to stay in town for at least a week as well as business people and students seeking longer term lodging. Located amidst the parks and mansions of tree-filled Pacific Heights, the friendly and affordable Monroe combines the best features of a hotel and an apartment.

Included in the room price are full-choice American-style breakfasts and tasty, four-course dinners served Monday through Saturday, with a continental breakfast and hearty brunch offered on Sunday. Maid service is also provided.

Ideally situated for those without a car, The Monroe is steps away from the bus stop and one block from the cable car line, which passes through Chinatown on the pleasant ten-minute trip to the downtown business and shopping districts. All rooms are equipped with telephones, and a 24-hour switchboard takes messages, receives your faxes and e-mails, and is happy to provide wake-up calls.

The Monroe affords as much privacy, or company, as you choose -- with a television lounge, billiards room, study room, and laundry room available to guests. WiFi (54Mbps) is available: FREE.  On winter's days, many enjoy reading and chatting by the polished mahogany fireplace, a gracious reminder of historic San Francisco.
