A residential hotel features hotel-like rooms with full amenities that are available to rent without signing a contract or lease. Residents are free to check out when they wish and can book rooms through the hotel-style reservation system. San Francisco has many of these residential hotels, which are designed for traveling business people and students who intend on staying in the city for an extended amount of time. Many of these residential hotels also feature hotel services such as room service, maid service, laundry facilities, and in-room mini-fridges and microwaves.
The Cable Car Court Hotel was built in a Victorian style but has since been upgraded to feature many modern commodities. Located in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood, it offers guests the choice of long- or short-term residency. All of the rooms at the Cable Car Court Hotel feature a TV and a refrigerator, and most rooms have a microwave as well. Kitchenettes are available upon request, and the rooms come with private bathrooms or shared bathrooms. Weekly rates start at $225 for a shared bathroom and $250 per week for a private bathroom, and the hotel also charges a $50 cash security deposit (as of September, 2010).
