"Probably my twentieth or so stay @ The Willows. Discovered it long ago — in fact The Willows introduced me to the B&B experience. When my job was to help a non-profit expand from LA to SF in 2001, I stayed here for several days at a time on average once a month. One of the best parts of the place is the fact that over the years I've stayed here with most of the beloveed people in my life, with a photographic history to chronicle it. At times it's felt like a second home, an impressive accomplishment in my book."

Your helpfulness with ideas, directions, information, suggestions and optometrists was appreciated! The Willows Inn was everything we had read about on the website — close to all activities, friendly atmosphere, and a home away from home. Thanks again!"

A short stop on a business trip this time, just myself, I find it almost a sacred tradition to make a new entry in this loved guest book. Always a pleasure to return to the Haven, our home away from home. Its sameness, its persistence along the years makes it a wonderful landmark, not only in the city, but in our hearts. As I said before, in another entry years ago: 'The WIllows Inn is forever.' "

"Thanks for the memorable time ... but for some reason we can't remember much of New Years Eve. Someone must have spiked the punch ....! No, really, we have had such a great time here at The Willows Inn! I can see us venturing back in the near future. Thanks again."

"This is my 3rd trip to San Francisco and each time I feel more and more like I'm at home, especially now that I have experienced the warmth and hospitality (and great breakfasts) of The Willows. Please remember that Room 32 is really my home away from home, and everyone else gets to stay by the grace of the wonderful staff (Brad, Terry, Mike, John). Thanks everyone."

"It's so nice to be in an area bedecked with Rainbow Flags, and Willows Inn's unique 'home to home' style adds a lot to the enjoyment of staying in a city where most guys return your appreciation of their looks and style with a smile! Brad, Mike, John & Terry - thanks a lot - you've been most helpful, yet not overbearing with your advice. Best wishes for the future."

"What else can we add to what was already said by the other guests? Thank you so much for your warm welcome, your sense of hospitality, your great sense of service, your smile & happiness … We will certainly not forget Breakfast prepared by John (:-), Cocktail time with Terry (;-), & Brad & Mike for the good advice during our stay ;;-)). It has been a real pleasure to get to know not only San Francisco, (lucky you are to live there!!) but also all of you and your B&B, sorry your hotel as in fact it is much much much more than a "simple" B&B!!! It is quite home away from home!!"

"Well, well...our 9th year of returning to The Willows Inn! What else is to be said? Just that we are delighted to write this new entry in this dear guest book, at our "home away from home"! This time it was a quick week-end get away (and to burn some frequent flyer points on Air Canada). As enjoyable as ever, and meeting old and new friends. Next year, hopefully, we'll be able to celebrate our 10th anniversary of staying at the Willows!!"
