First of all If you want 3+ star quality,l don't stay here. If you appreciate value for money, good location and a homely feeling, this is not a bad pick. We stayed 10 days and had two different rooms. First one was nice from the inside but facing a wall from window. Pretty gloomy, so we asked for a possibility... More

We booked this hotel because of its free parking. Some hotels offer overnight parking for a “small fee” of $25 in this area. Our room was very clean. You can grab quick Free breakfast (Pastries/coffe/orange juce) before heading off for a day full of sightseeing. Fisherman's Wharf cable car turntable, Ghirardelli Square, Hop On - Hop Off Stop is within... More

The motor inn is walking distance to Fisherman's Wharf. The morning continental breakfast of pastries, fruit, coffee/juice was a good start to the morning. Rooms were clean and we found it quiet. Staff was friendly and helpful. Parking spaces were tight, but adequate. Great restaurants down Lombard St to the east. More

It's a old hotel with old rooms, cordial reception, poor breakfast, slow wireless internet (free), but with a nice location and free parking (that's difficult in SF). More

The hotel is old and the decoration is very bad, but the location is pretty good and it even offers a convenient continental breakfast. I recommend it! More

This hotel was reasonable, we used it mainly as a place to sleep as we spent the majority of our stay in San Francisco sightseeing. It is close to entertainment district at Chestnut Street. While I am not displeased with this place, I wouldn't stay here again. I get the impression that there are better places at similar prices within... More

Tell Me a Better Hotel!!!! is what comes to mind. Never had I been greeted so fabulously by staff and courtieous stay. With restaurants nearby and wifi and breakfast included, what more can I ask for? A young man with glasses named Daryl was especially helpful in picking up my luggage to the room. He was not a bellman, but... More
