First time at interesting motel from the past and something from a charming movie. Comfortable beds with all amenities needed and clean place to stay. Covered free parking & considerably quiet off Lombard / 101.

The staff was extremely helpful and nice. It is so quaint and lovely a true motor from back in time. The only draw back is the parking is tough especially if you have a bigger car or SUV. There are not enough spaces if the hotel is at capacity. Nothing is brand spanking new but extremely clean. I loved that the windows open and our room was soooo SUNNY !

We were expecting a kitchen but had a coffee machine on a microwave on a small fridge. No tableware or silverware or place to wash dishes. This was in the small print just before check in, but not when we booked.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service

The property is beautiful and the room was clean. But historic charm quickly loses its appeal when a room lacks modern conveniences. There is not a heating unit with a thermostat. The room has an old style radiator heater that turns on at a certain time. When? Staff didn't know. It was 45 outside, and the heater didn't turn on until ~9 PM. My only source of heat prior to the radiator turning on was a space heater stored in the closet. Additionally, there was no air conditioner. Although not needed in my stay, California can get warm in the summer. Despite it's charm, these deficiencies are not acceptable, especially considering what I paid for the room. The staff should, at a minimum, know when the heat turns on...

The only issue I had was it is old. It's to be expected. It is a classic Motel. Other than that the place is charming and quite. Be sure to avoid the street side rooms. I'm sure they are loud as it is right on the main street there. Dog area is more of a planted walkway but you manage with it or walk around the block. Pet fee was minimal. They accommodated parking formy jeep with roof tent and gear. Off street and we'll protected.

Garden Flashback to the 50's

I picked this hotel because of its close proximity to the Marina District, Palace of Fine Arts and the Presidio. All within easy walking distance. The room was very comfortable and very quiet (inner courtyard). It may be an older property but the quaintness and overall cozy feel makes for a very relaxing stay.

Good, Convenient Place to Stay

Marina Motel was a great choice for us on our trip to San Francisco. We utilized the city bus for our transportation needs with the exception of to/from the airport. It's a quaint, old school property with lots of charm. We anticipated the small room with an older urban hotel. The only negatives were a very rude, noisy guest next to us and the heater not working. There was a small space heater in the closet which we found out about the second day. Street noise is significant but we expected that in the middle of a large city. An option of a softer pillow would have made sleeping much better too. We loved being able to walk to local restaurants on Chestnut St only 2 blocks away.

Last minute booking

We were on a 9 day road trip and wanted to find a place to rest on our way to the pacific northwest.We searched for a motel after normal check-in time,and found this Marina Motel with a little discount for late booking.We arrived in the evening,checked in.Garages were available which was great,parking a rental car on the street is not very safe.Room was super comfy with a kitchen.We were traveling with our fur baby,they are pet friendly!We LOVED our stay,as short as it was...Totally recommend!!

This is the second time we have stayed at this property, even though it looks old and not super clean. We liked it due to the location, having parking, and having a kitchen. This time, we should have raised an issue when we noticed some reddish brown streaks at the corners of the bed under the mattress. We were in a hurry that evening so we figured maybe it’s not bugs, so we’ll just be careful and keep all clothes and luggage’s off of the ground since it’s just one night. That was a HUGE mistake on our part. For more than 5 weeks since we’ve been back, all of us have had new bug bites on our bodies, even after washing our beddings multiple times. I have unfortunately had bed bugs (?) from hotels and motels in the past but have been able to get rid of them or not notice them anymore after about a week. So this is definitely the worse infestation that we have contracted from a hotel. I like that hotel location, but can never go back to it again now.
