I thought a hotel with this many reviews and still a high rating would be a good option, but it did not meet expectations. The building is just run down. Carpets were old and torn in some areas. There was black mold in the window AC vents. Room was small without much night-stand space. Parking was very tight. When I brought the black mold issue to reception for their awareness, they tried to accommodate. He offered to move us to a different room (which had the same problem) or to give me $30 to not write a bad review! (I didn't take it, of course!) To be fair, if you're looking for a room in SF walking distance to the wharf for under $200 a night, this might be as good as you can get. I can't imagine what it takes to upkeep a building in that city. We didn't see any homeless in that area of the city, and were able to walk to Ghirardelli Square.

Good budget hotel and excellent location

Overall the stay was great, our room was very clean but the room itself was dated. The beds were comfy and clean, it smelt a bit musty like there is no air flow in the room and the shower knob needed replacing, it took forever for us to get warm water as the knob would just spin around, however for a quick stay we were happy overall. Staff was friendly, love that they accommodated us in the late evening and we were able to keep our car overnight and into the next day free while we explored San Francisco. Great location, close to bus stops and lots of food options within walking distance.

the value for the place is really just incredible. A super reasonable price for a really solid hotel. It’s definitely not a 5 star hotel but it’s easily a top option at its price point. Free parking was also a huge luxury coming from someone who drove into the city. There’s some really great restaurants and bars nearby, plus it’s close to Hot Cookie and Bob’s Donuts if you have a sweet tooth like me. This is definitely a place i’ll be returning to when the time comes.

Good for the price

Everyone was very nice who worked there. The room was a bit run down but that didn’t matter to me because it was clean! The water pressure in the shower was amazing. The toom was more than sufficient for the good price.

Fantastic place to stay!

Friendly staff! Damien welcomed us and gave us a map of things to do during our stay. He was kind enough to let us know what areas were not safe to be in. The room was very clean and we felt safe during our stay. Parking was superb! Highly recommend them! Our room was cleaned daily!! Super plus!!!!

Great affordable stay

We really enjoyed our stay. Our room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The carpet was pretty old and needs to be updated, but that’s the only con. Good location, we loved the free parking (but it’s tight to get in). Would stay here again! Great value!

Second time staying at the Castle Inn. While dated, it’s still maintained well, comfortable, and clean. Bathrooms are upgraded, too. You can’t beat the price for the location. I’ll definitely stay there again next time I’m in SF.
