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.

Very courteous staff and the hotel is in a great location. Centrally located to easily reach tourist places and a nice area for just walking. Perhaps a little dated in the rooms but really nice and we will be staying there again!

Staff was friendly and check-in and check-out was quick. During the day check-out had a virtual assistant through a screen. Room was clean and spacious with AC / heater. A good budget place to stay in SF by the bay. They don't serve breakfast in the morning but there are local breakfast places, coffee shops, and restaurants nearby within walking distance. No special amenities or anything but they have a coffee maker in your room. Would stay again next visit.
