jonathan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very good hotel. Classic San Francisco layout. Don’t expect luxury. But the room was big enough, and SPOTLESS. The mattress was firm and comfortable. Housekeeping always pendant and very efficient. I arrived a little bit early and they checked me in with no problems at all. Great stay. Oh and parking included which it was a huge add on.

Staff very good, our room was dated but big. Room service very good, location good. Parking available if required. Enjoyed our stay.
Francis, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great Value on Lombard Street, down the hill from the crooked street. Good service, clean, blackout curtains help since Lombard Street is actually US 101 from Van Ness to Golden Gate Bridge, so busy. Great Motor Inn, free parking and WiFi, good restaurants near by, not far from the Marina District, and Marina Green park.
Edgar, 1-night trip
