Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

8/10 Good

"Staff"

Signature Inn San Francisco Marina District

8/10 Good

"Staff and service were excellent; super kind and helpful! Location-wise this spot is a 10/10 and the free on-site parking is a great amenity. The only minor issue I had was specific to my room. The tv console / power strips were making a humming noise that didn’t stop during our stay. I’d assume that this wasn’t a typical thing with their rooms. Overall, a great experience and would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a place to stay!"

Geary Parkway Motel At Mine Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"The room was excellent and staff very helpful. I would have liked to have coffee sooner that 9 am."

The Laurel Inn, part of JdV by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"Great little inn located in a quiet neighborhood near Presidio. Highly walkable with reasonable covered parking and a nice bar/restaurant next door. The front desk staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Rooms are nicely appointed with robes, comfy beds, and good climate control. Coffee in the lobby and cookies in the afternoons."

The Metro Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, quiet, good location."

The SeaScape Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was perfect for my stay. Private parking, clean and just across the street from the beach with a super cute coffee shop/cafe on the corner. The room had modern upgrades, a mini fridge and microwave and being on the third floor I could see the ocean from my windows. I would 100% stay here again."
