I liked that I had everything close and the room was clean.
I did not like the air inside the room, was quite heavy and the room was hot. The laundry was not working at that time and the hair dryer was broken.

Questions about Cable Car Hotel

What time is check-in and check-out at Cable Car Hotel?

Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Cable Car Hotel allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Does Cable Car Hotel have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Cable Car Hotel have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Cable Car Hotel?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
