Jeff
Room was clean. Great location to see Lombard, Wharf, Coit Tower...Parking included which was priceless. Very friendly front desk staff.
Susan
This hotel was clean but old fashioned. The room we had was large. It included parking which was very useful. This was our second visit to San Francisco and was ideal based for us.
Penelope
We chose this hotel as it had great reviews and offered free parking. Although a little dated the hotel was great. A 10 minute walk to Pier 39 and close to the Cable Car stops etc. Our room was a little noisy as it overlooked the rear of \"Bimbos\" so we had to keep the window shut but we had aircon which we needed.
Vaibhav
Tony was really help ful! They have ample parking and their location was really good!
Shelly
I have stayed at the Columbus motor in several times. It’s all about the location and the location is excellent. This time the room, however, had mould in the bathroom on the ceiling and the shade of the lamp was stained. It’s a basic motel with a wonderful location.
susan
Staff was very nice. Large clean room. Free parking is a real plus. Easy walk to Fisherman’s Wharf and North Beach.
Randall
Good free parking. Had daily room service. A little noise from the outside. No frig in room.
Connie
I liked the location, being close enough to the wharf to walk to, but it would be much nicer if there was a microwave and frig in the room. The staff was very helpful and friendly !
Brad
Friendly and helpful staff, clean and comfortable room, parking included, quiet but with easy access to the wharf, marina, north beach and a huge variety of restaurants, shopping, and entertainment options.
yocelin
Needs a public microwave other than that great place in a great location
Christine
We had an amazing stay! Parking was easy and the staff were very friendly. The hotel is in the heart of North Beach and walking distance to Cobbs Comedy Club and tons of restaurants! Already planning my next trip and will be staying here!!
John
Not needed but parking available. Central great location, clean and helpful staff BUT no fridge.....
Lauren
This hotel has complimentary parking, which was a big advantage. Parking is not readily available in San Francisco. The location is excellent. It is within walking distance of Chinatown and Fisherman's Wharf. The property is older, but well kept. Our room was very nice. As far as staffing, Leida is awesome! Check in and out we're both easy. Leida took time to speak with us and answer all our questions. She also offered suggestions and gave us walking directions. Watching her deal with other guests, she was always calm, polite and just very nice. She is an asset to this hotel.
Pamela
Columbus Inn was perfect. Situated between Fisherman’s Wharf and North Beach. Easy, early check-in. Woman ( Layda?) at front desk was so nice and accommodating. Rooms are really clean. It’s an older hotel, but it’s been updated. Felt very safe and we loved the free parking. Walked everywhere from the hotel and cable car end line is one block over. No refrigerator, but there is a coffeemaker.
Donna
Stay was good. Would stay again and definitely recommend to family and friends.
Juan
very clean room. Parking was great, staff provided everyone with respect. This place was really close to fisherman Warf.

Beautiful and clean room, amazing location, super friendly staff!
John
It was close to cable cars, good food, and so much more.

This place was so nice to stay in. Even though it's a little bit older it is clearly well cared for and comfortable to stay in. The beds were so comfortable and we really enjoyed staying there.

Great location with parking
Nathaniel
Nice staff
Ray
Old, battered rooms with gross carpet. loud AC, right by the ice / vending machines and a few yards above Columbus Ave. Impossible to sleep between the street noise and the noise in the hall. The place hasn't been ipdated in decades. Preling wallpaper, mismatched bulbs -- a total dive.
Jeff
Great location, very friendly and helpful staff, and onsite parking!
Ben
Clean and friendly staff
Juan A
Everything was great
Sean
We made a last minute family trip to the ward for New Year’s and couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The front desk staff were wonderful—friendly, welcoming, and helpful from the moment we arrived. Parking was easy, our room was clean and comfortable, and the location felt safe and very convenient. Once the neighborhood fireworks ended, it was surprisingly quiet. We really enjoyed our stay as a family and would happily stay here again
Frances Anne
Staff was so nice! The greeting alone every time we walked-in was hospitable. The location walking distance to North Beach, Chinatown, Fisherman’s Wharf, all within walking distance. No homeless n the streets and has a nearby Wallgreens and local bars and restaurants.
Leslie
The building is vintage decor with old world elegance and our room had a view of Columbus Street which was pretty to see the city at dawn.
Louise

Helena
Location, location, location and parking. Very nice staff.
Jennifer
Excellent clean room for the price. Good condition flooring and furniture. No regrets at all even though I was hesitant at first. Bed was comfortable. Shower was just fine. Would stay here again.
Kathleen
Clean, comfortable and convenient. We’ll be back!
Johnny
I always like to stay here when I'm visiting San Francisco, for two important reasons: (1) free self-parking, and (2) proximity to North Beach and the Wharf. The rooms are also comfortable and spacious. This time there was an added bonus: a nice view of the SF skyline out my window, with the TransAmerica Building, the Salesforce Tower and the Saints Peter and Paul Church in the distance. Downsides: (1) you can't plug a streaming device into the TV -- no HDMI port, and (2) the heater intermittently stopped blowing warm air into the room. Regardless, I would definitely stay here again in the future.
Paul
My go to in North Beach
Andrea
Been coming back here for years. Excellent location, clean, quiet, and comfy beds! Thanks!
Barbara

Staff was great. Location was perfect because we were seeing a group at next door Bimbo’s 365 Club!
Jim
Columbus motor inn came through with a nice room at out last minute booking. The lobby manager could not have been more respectful and professional. The rooms were great and clean. Nice work

Parking is on site. Room was very clean and pleasant. Restaurants in walking distance and my event was half a mile away so also very walkable
Todd
Very nice location for walking North Beach and Russian Hill
Rob
Plenty of shops nearby and indoor parking. You can see Alcatraz from the 3rd floor. The bathroom in the room we rented was not disability friendly.
Josh
Clean room and great staff - thank you!
julie
Very nice-clean, safe. centrally located. Walkable to fisherman’s wharf, trolleys, little Italy. Great extras at hotel!!

michael
Good times
Mor
Nice hotel, friendly staff, very convenient location, with free parking.
Susan
Mattress was comfortable. Location awesome. Staff helpful and friendly, especially Tony. Tony went above and beyond to make sure our family had a wonderful sray at the hotel.
Lisa
I have been staying at the hotel for twenty years and it has not changed at all. I know what to expect every time I visit. Staff is always very friendly, and helpful.
Tana
Great location
Great walkable location close to Fisherman’s Wharf.
Jill
We love staying at the Columbus Inn, a hidden gem in SF! Location couldn't be better, making restaurants walkable. Staff is wonderful and the rooms are big, comfy and very clean. We stay here every time in SF!
Michael
Might be dated looking but very clean and not foul smelling. Staff is super helpful and accommodating. One thing that could be possibly improved is the shower water pressure.
Donna
Great location. Walkable to pier 39 fisherman’s wharf. Bit dated but clean would recommend.
Carmelo
The convenient location and ample parking are fantastic! The room was not only clean and spacious but also featured wonderfully comfortable beds and pillows.
Sarah
Clean room, free parking, great location!
Bobbie
Staff were super helpful and friendly. Close to everything you need as a tourist
Kay
Clean room, good location with a good price. Parking was safe. Even though it’s next to a jazz club that I wish we could have enjoyed, the noise was not intrusive. Would book this again. It’s a nice place if you’re not looking for extra amenities like a pool or breakfast.
Eric Neil
Great people and great service
Joseph
Nice place to tourist sights.
Suchandra

Lydselle
Old but very well maintained and clean. Very central and walkable.
Victor
Free parking clean rooms nice staff
Dominique
Great staff. They let us check in and park early so we could check out the sites without paying for parking elsewhere. Walking distance to fisherman's wharf, easy for us and our 4yo. We walked to a small breakfast spot just a block over: good food, good staff, and we got a 10% discount when we mentioned we were staying at this hotel. Will definitely stay here again.
Michael
Been here 2x. Location is great!
Candace

Laura

Juan
Easy, clean experience and accessible
My family and I was there for a day to experience the 4th of July fireworks celebration held on the bay. Stay there allowed to walk to the event. Great customer service. Easy checking in close to places to eat and have a quick late night drink. Secured parking..
M
Just really need to refurbishment. Other than that it was perfect ! Lovely staff
Raymond
Great Room, Staff, and Location
Great staff. Fantastic free parking. Clean room. Just a few short blocks to Fishermans Wharf and Ghirardelli square. Right by all of the public transporation like the bus and the cable car. If we were going somewhere else besides on those routes, everything was just a ahort Waymo or Uber away. Only one very small thing was our room didn't have a mini fridge.
Michael
We went to Bimbos for a concert so chose this for the location. Its basic. Decent for the price. Probably could use a renovation. The plus is the parking and the minus is the overall condition. The price was right for this minus so it equals out.
Victor
Excellent price for San Francisco, nice customer service and parking lot.

Joseph
Our go to accommodations year after year. Spacious clean rooms, awesome service at the front desk, free parking, and a terrific location. Close to Fisherman's Wharf and the piers with all the wonderful restaurants. I highly recommend this hotel for a San Francisco visit.

Just a good quiet get away
Robert
Wonderful staff. Clean and quiet. FYI, no refrigerator in room. Bed was comfortable.
Kim
The hotel was very nice. The rooms were clean and updated with granite. Very convenient parking. Was an easy walk to pier 39.
Abbey
We were skeptical, but this is such a great hotel! The friendliest staff, room was great, free parking, near so many activities. The checkin clerk ran out to us at our car to change our room to a better one, because he had had a cancellation.

Vacation
This a 2 star motel absolutely under starred. Minimum 3 star this is an excellent motel. Drove from Las Vegas San Francisco to receive totally free parking included in the price. Plenty of eaterys and bars, especially the international bar across the road. Spacious room all fairly modern great access to the piers only 15 minutes walk for Alcatraz tours. Cannot say enough good about the Columbus motel. Just book and relax 😁😁😁
Shani
I liked that the property was easy to find. The free parking is wonderful! We are walking distance to the concert venue, restaurants, and a Walgreens if needed. The staff was very friendly upon our arrival and our room was very clean and comfortable. We’ll be back some day!
