Top San Francisco Zoo Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay"

Geary Parkway Motel At Mine Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"Booked this place for 2 nights for the first time and it didn't disappoint. You can tell its newly renovated and well maintained. The A/C was impressive, it was freaking cold and comfortable. Overall from check-in to check-out was so accommodating and pleasant. We will be back of course."

The Hotel Castro San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"As a solo woman traveling, I appreciated the safety of three areas needing codes: front door, elevator, room. My room had twin beds for one or two guests. Clean, huge bathroom, good shower, many amenities. First time I had a personal Nespresso in the room with unlimited pods. And a tea kettle with tea selection as well as two bottles for filtered water available in the lobby. Comfortable bed, balcony, and staff that quickly responded to any need. The street billows with bars, restaurants, and a wonderful French bakery. I enjoyed my stay."

Becks Motor Lodge

8/10 Good

"The hotel is adorable and super conveniently located. Staff is pleasant, beds are comfy, and parking is ample. A great place to stay if you want to be in SF for a couple days and not be downtown or out towards the airport. My only complaint is that the rooms are QUITE small and it was tough for our family of four to navigate. We could only open one suitcase at a time, and there wasn’t much room for us to put our things away. Also, the coffee maker is located in the bathroom, which was a bit off putting. All in all, a nice stay and would return, but perhaps without children."

Ocean Inn

8/10 Good

"The room is comfortable, spacious, and clean. It has everything you need: a refrigerator, a microwave, and a coffee maker. It’s a 3-minute walk to the ocean. There’s a 7-Eleven nearby. But if you go to bed early and wake up late, this place isn’t for you, since the train won’t let you sleep—it’s very loud and runs every 10 minutes. Overall, the area is pretty boring unless you’re a surfer))"
