Great stay at Hotel ZAZZ
Zazz is a great motel with beautiful art and a fun atmosphere. We loved the location in Nob Hill and walked to all our meals. Restaurants around the hotel are delicious. Zazz is a motel where you can hear people coming and going as well as talking on the other side of the walls. However, rooms were comfortable and had coffee and a fridge. We were quite happy with our stay.

Epic place to stay!
This is a great motel. It's called a hotel but it' really a motel. The renovation was well done. I am looking forward to going in the summer to use the pool.

They turned party of an old hotel lobby into a makeshift bar. I’d hate to see what they called a spa? But the room was fine.

Definitely giving Zazz!
Absolutely loved our stay, everything was clean and smelt amazing! The colors and the atmosphere were such an experience, even my daughter said it’s the coolest place she’s ever stayed. The front desk was friendly and attentive as well as making sure anything we needed was accommodated.

Need to quality hotel?… I have one for you!
Check in dude was super friendly and on his game. The room is adorable. Plenty of hot water, towels, and safety. I can contest that the bed is comfy and clean of unwanted guests (critters).

Cute and efficient
This place was super cute for the price in the location was good for walking to and getting delivery from some cute restaurants. The room was simple but clean, bed comfortable, and you could tell they tried really hard to make it cute. My only complaint is getting someone on the phone ahead of time was very difficult. But once they’re the front desk, staff were probably the nicest front desk I’ve ever interacted with. I like that you could text people questions.
