PROS: 1) Location Location Location 2) Wine socials every day 3) Sauna 4) Great staff 5) Very interesting guest 6) Breakfast CONS: 1) Light sleepers may have issues with front 2 rooms because of street cars OVERALL: You cant beat the location to the Castro at all. Much better than staying at the hotels downtown and having to pay a cab or subway to do anything. You can meet many people all over the world. Streetcars start early & if you are in the front 2 rooms you may hear them.

First time to SF, really enjoyed hospitality. The wine social is a highlight. Parker is located in a great spot. My partner and I would definetly come back.

Stayed for a week and hardly slept. Streetcars go right by the window of room #22 and the room was so dusty I could write my name in the furniture. Walls need to be repainted and for the price the Ritz would have been a much better value. Staff is excellent and it was nice to mingle with people from other areas but the lack of upkeep, uncomfortable bed and noise will deter me from staying here again.

Clean, close to the gay bars and restaurant of Castro, great service and great breakfast. You also has the benefit of socializing with gays and lesbians from all over the world. Plus it is steps from the street car. But it is expensive and noisy.
