I don't know. I didn't see any other dogs but just call the front desk. Good luck.

I emailed the hotel directly to request a balcony and while they couldn’t guarantee we would have one they mad a note of the request and we did have one reserved when we arrived.

I don’t believe so but can’t answer with full confidence

There weren’t any machines on the property but there is a place called (I think) “Wash This” about a block over on Chestnut Street. We didn’t need to do laundry while we were there but I asked about it just in case.

I’m sorry to reply so late. We didn’t see any homeless or vagrants around this neighborhood. It’s a very nice neighborhood. 10 minute walk to Fisherman’s Wharf. We took a 20-30 minute walk to the main ferry terminal & broke it up by stopping to have breakfast. The Alcatraz ferry is about 15 minutes away. We loved walking but once & awhile we used Uber like when we visited the Golden Gate Bridge. We didn’t see our 1st homeless man until we took the bus to Haight-Ashbury. Now that’s a strange place indeed.
