Ideally situated in the exclusive Pacific Heights neighbourhood of San Francisco, this magnificent brownstone mansion is close enough to the action of the city, yet far enough away to provide peace and quiet. The charm of this 19th century building and the friendly staff will make you feel at home.

Jackson Court was ideally located and parking wasn't as bad as we anticipated. Overall, the accommodations were good. Breakfast was great and we were surprised at how much was provided.

He owner was very rude. My reservation didn’t show up in the system. I told the owner I had the confirmation number and everything to proof I did the reservation, but the started yelling at me saying it’s not his problem because is not in the system. He didn’t even look at my reservation in my phone. He told my to called booking and ask for my refund. I asked him to checked again and he got really mad and rude. Worst customer service. Customer don’t deserve to be treated like that.

    Excellent start point for a visit to San Francisco. Perfectly located to North beach, Russian Hill and the seaside. We did pick up a rental car in the neighborhood to continue the journey. All well!!

    Waking up on our first morning in San Francisco, taking a short walk and finding myself on the beach gazing across at the Golden Gate Bridge. Well equipped kitchens. Quiet courtyard setting. Value for money.

    The location is great: nearby you have different bus stations and in a few minutes walk you can reach a lot of great restaurants and bars. Althought the Seaside Inn is located at a bigger street, you cannot year any car noise in the room. The staff was really nice, friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable.

    The bed was really comfy. Room was big, and well located just a few steps from the beach and ocean. Rail goes by and brings you downtown in less than 40minutes.

    We absolutely loved our stay at the Seaside Inn. The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do in the city and the bed was one of the most comfortable we have ever slept in! The staff was wonderful and we would absolutely stay here again the next time we come to San Francisco!!
