Recent Petite Auberge Joie De Review: "We wanted to stay somewhere centrally located to the many attractions that S.F. has to offer, and that had some character and charm. Petite Auberge filled the bill perfectly. Only 6 blocks or so from Union Square, it was close to the BART train/subway system which brought us in from the airport, tons of shopping, more restaurants than we could count,  near the cable car turnaround, and lots of different busses to take you to the various sections of the city. I must admit we were a bit concerned with the size of the room...called a Petite Queen, there was no other way to describe it but small. But it became less and less important as the week went on. The decor could be described as French Country, with floral wall paper, antiques and interesting little details throughout. The bed was one of the most comfortable we've ever experienced anywhere. Breakfast, which was inlcuded, was delicious and consisted of fresh quiche, croissants, pastries, oatmeal and a huge platter of assorted freshly cut fruit that kept us going throughout our day of exploring. Each evening in the lounge (which reminded me of a cozy living room in the country and had several comfortable sofas to relax on) there was a lovely spread of wine, cheese and crackers, veggies, etc. There was coffe or tea available throughout the day, as well as a stocked cookie jar. The staff were very friendly and helpful and offered advice, directions or whatever we needed. The only other negative I should mention was some noise early each morning as it sounded like garbage bins were picked up or taken out. It lasted a few minutes and we were always able to fall back asleep. Would definitely stay there again, although we would probably try to book the larger room which included a fire place for even more charm."
