Eunyoung
This hotel has a lot of character, but it comes with a few trade-offs. On the positive side, the elevator is delightfully old and quaint, which I really enjoyed. However, there were a few practical issues during my stay. The parking lot is quite tight, and a couple of slats on the window shutters were broken. Additionally, street noise was loud all night long, which made it difficult to sleep. It is a unique property, but it could use a few maintenance updates and better soundproofing.
Kaden
The check in was really easy staff was really nice.
Great location. Felt safe there.

Armando
Parking is very easy considering it’s San Francisco . And check in was great , room size was great too
David
We only stayed here one night, but this hotel absolutely served our needs. The staff was helpful and attentive. The free parking was extremely appreciated.
Joel
Nice affordable gem in the heart of SF city. Chose this place for its close proximity to Fort Mason Center. Modern amenities, HUGE bathroom, helpful staff and nice owners. All at a bangin' good price. What more can you ask for?
Amanda
Lovely motel, newly renovated rooms. Walls are a bit thin but that didn’t bother us. We liked how tight the parking spaces were since that helps prevent theft.
Kimberly
The property was clean, staff awesome, rooms just what you need, beds comfortable. However, the traffic noise was awful. If it weren't for the traffic noise I would stay there again, but it was so bad I won't.
Victoria
Everything was good except at some maintenance or construction worker started doing some repair right above our window looking inside the room at 8 am!!!!
Priscilla
Amazing hotel
Jose
Staff was friendly, always available. Hotel is perfectly located, walking distance to tourist spots
Brett
Room is exactly what we needed for the night but the room is very plain and no decorated at all. Only issue with facility is parking is limited and can be tricky if you have a large vehicle
Zoltan
Clean room. Close to everything. Easy parking
Amy
Excellent location and views of the Golden Gate Bridge as well as the Marin Headlands from my top floor room.

This is a good place to stay before a cruise 🛳. I would not stay for any longer.

Very good price for prime location. Walking distance to everything. No need for car. Fisherman's Wharf, Golden Gate Park Trail, Crooked Street, etc. Easy to see recent upgrades in room, but outside work still in progress.
Madonna
Older hotel, and a room 303, immediately located along Lombard Street, was so loud due to traffic and buses.
Robert
I was attending a wedding nearby and found staying here was convent due to included parking and proximity to neighborhood amenities. Check-in was great and actually about one hour earlier due to asking if the room was ready before dropping by. Staff were friendly and accommodating. There is a great coffee machine in the lobby with various menu options for Starbuck’s coffee from 7-9am. I would stay here again. Cheers!
wayne
It’s a motel and under construction on the outside. The rooms are ok like you’d expect in a hotel. The staff were not helpful or very friendly, I would not stay here again.
Logan
Clean rooms, plenty parking road little load
Katie
Consistently a comfortable bed and clean room at a good price, in a good location
Douachi
Tight parking but overall, good experience.
Christopher
The experience was disappointing from start to finish. The staff were rude and unhelpful, and their treatment of another customer ahead of us was especially concerning.
The customer appeared to be struggling with English, and instead of offering patience or support, the employee behind the counter spoke to her in a condescending and aggressive manner.
Unfortunately, our own interaction with the same staff member was just as unprofessional.
The issues didn’t stop there. The room itself was excessively noisy, the bathroom exhaust fan was not functioning, and the shutters failed to block out light. The furniture also felt low-quality and cheaply made, which only added to the overall negative impression. I will not be coming back.

Hotel is value for money.
Mike
Clean and tidy room, room was a little dated, needed decoration on one of the walls. The bathroom needs a little attention. Great view of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Jennifer
The price was great. There was some construction going on, but it was not inconvenient. Parking was very tight, but at the same time, amazing to have it included! Close to lots of things, easy to walk and get breakfast and dinner and catch tourist buses
Nathan
Parking ok and free.Staff so so .Modern rooms.Nice tv and bathrooms
GRZEGORZ
Excellent location, very friendly staff, good cleaning, renovated rooms. The building itself is nothing to special, for US standard it is quite ok.
Bree
Overall the hotel was clean and a decent stay. Parking was very tricky- most the spots were so tiny our minivan's tires were on both lines when we parked. We were always back to the hotel early enough to get a spot to squeeze into, but we noticed others had to double park. Also note, they only provide bar soap, lotion, and a terrible shampoo/conditioner combo. Ladies- bring your own conditioner.
The property is on the corner of two busy streets with two stoplights in each direction, so there was a ton of road noise (engines revving, loud brakes & music, etc) that really bothered us the first night, but we sort of got used to it.
All in all- clean room, good location, room had a nice mini fridge and microwave so we could heat up or store simple breakfast items, the price was price, but I'd probably look for a different property for future trips because of the road noise and parking situation.

Looks like an older hotel from the outside yet the rooms clearly were given a renovation and we're clean and modern. Good hotel for a budget.
PB
Free parking. Walkable to wharf.
Jennifer
We enjoyed our stay at the Francisco Bay Inn. The property is conveniently located to many local attractions and restaurants, all of which were easily walkable. We had no difficulty with parking and our room was clean and comfortable. We did bring a fan/noise machine as we were well aware of how the city traffic generates noise and it came in handy during our stay.
We would definitely stay at the Francisco Bay Inn again!

Denise
Very nice place with FREE parking (other places would charge $45 per night) Amazing location, and the staff were very nice and attentive.
Julian
Great room:
Bed was super, super comfortable
The bathroom felt luxurious, but you need to bring your own soaps
Had a fridge and a microwave, liquor store for anything you needed around the corner
Only downside was the noise from the street. If you can get a room on the backside of the hotel - you’re winning

Good hotel in a very convenient location. Easily walkable to many tourist attractions.
Kanter
Room was clean and modern. Comfortable beds. Convenient and safe location. Easy and quick check in. Good transport options and parking available. Noise from street can be heard during the day. Though it is quiet at night, we heard loud motorbikes going pass on some nights or early in the morning. Wifi is ok but not always stable.
Jennifer
Room was very clean. Recently updated and great amenities. Perfect location to get around.

Carter
You get what you pay for, convenient to have parking too. We left our car and went to get breakfast after we checked out (~10AM, checkout was at 11) and got a call from the lady saying they were going to tow our car at 11:15 so we had to call a Waymo back and rush back. We thought she was pretty rude at the time, but she could’ve just not told us so there’s that. The layout of the bathroom was weird, door didn’t lock either.
Angelica
Bien ubicado . Las habitations comfortable y limpias el hotel esta en renovacion se puede ver mal pero las habitaciones ya fueron renovadas se los recomiendo
Vladimir
Very basic hotel. Big plus is parking was included. Good location. Room had a strong chemical smell which didnt away even with open windows.
Roberto A.
It was nice and clean room the parking was easy access, everything was awesome
Wayne
Parking was crowded but easy to use. Owner was very helpful and flexible. Room cost was a great value based on motel location and room quality.
Edel Christie
Great location, clean room, easy parking and the staff who helped us was very kind.
Shanti
The front desk staff was extremely rude from the very first interaction. Her attitude was inappropriate and completely unnecessary. While the facility itself was acceptable, the poor customer service overshadowed the experience. I will not be returning. There are other affordable places nearby with much friendlier staff. Additionally, parking is very limited and difficult.
Paul
The lady at the desk is very rude.
Anil
Excellent room and customer service.
Shemaiah
Easy park and check in. Great customer service as well.
caroline
room was super clean, staff was extremely friendly

The room was very clean and in a great location. There is a lot of road noise, but it’s a city after all. Will definitely stay here again for a weekend visit to SF.
Beth

Pauline
Clean, friendly staff, great location, great coffee shop up the road.
Brad
Neat and clean room. Showing it's age.
ashley
It was clean and in good shape. My room weight next to the stairs and the street so it was very loud but I was able to sleep so not too bad. I’d stay again it was a good walking distance to the Warf.
LEMIR AHMAD
Very noisy rooms from Street
JU-CHUAN
Clean room and parking space is a big plus
Barath
Our stay at Francisco Bay Inn was good. The hotel was located in a very good location
Pedro
The beds were reasonably comfortable, and the overall cleanliness of the room was acceptable. The hotel’s location is excellent and provides convenient access to the surrounding area. However, these positive aspects were significantly undermined by several issues encountered during the stay.
Most notably, the air-conditioning units produced a remarkably loud and continuous noise, which made it extremely difficult to sleep. This level of disturbance is incompatible with a restful environment and should be addressed urgently.
A more concerning matter arose during the checkout process. The staff member who assisted us exhibited unexpectedly rude behavior. We requested permission to leave our small bags in the lobby while we went out for breakfast, particularly given that we were completing an early checkout. Initially, she agreed, but moments later retracted her approval without providing a clear explanation. When we indicated that we would instead keep the bags in the room until the standard checkout time of 11 a.m., she informed us that our checkout had already been processed. This response was both unhelpful and unnecessarily abrupt.
Following a brief but uncomfortable exchange, she reluctantly agreed to reopen our room until the designated checkout time. Nonetheless, the interaction left a negative impression due to the lack of courtesy displayed.

very clean, and quite hotel with a great work nook! wonderful great prices; which is hard to find in sf - I will try to ALWAYS stay here as I am a regular commuter between Oregon and California.
Anil
Clean room, courteous staff. Good parking.
Elena
Clean and nice location.
Alexander
The room was clean, although a bit smaller than expected with two queen beds. The staff were nice. The location is good. The beds were comfy. Almost everything was slightly better than I expected for the price. The room was everything I needed and all around a good experience. Would recommend.
Mark
AC / heater worked fine
Andrew
The staff is amazing. My room was by the stairs and was the closest room to Lombard Street hence it was quite noisy. I did not find the bed overly comfortable and the same for the pillows. It was an average room at a competitive price hence the average rating.
