My last stay here was in Jan., however I stay here frequently (about 8-9 times in the past 3 yrs.). I like the location of this hotel, the proximity to Fisherman's Wharf, the cleanliness and consistency. Free parking is a plus, as is the interior corridors which for me is a must at a hotel in the city. Ken at... more

We'd stayed here about 3 years ago, and since then they've refurbished some. Very clean, but you need to expect a basic American indoor-halled motel. Lots of foreign visitors taking advantage of the budget prices and the auto-friendly location. (Free covered parking, although the parking is tricky for the beginning driver - but that's true all over San Francisco, isn't... more

My husband and I stayed 5 nights at San Francisco's Buena Vista Motor Inn in May of 2008. It's located on Lombard Street, about 4 blocks from the "crooked part" of Lombard. Since most hotels in S.F. are rediculously expensive, we chose this motel for the price ($82 per night at that time). Being among the lowest priced motels we... more

The hotel undergoing a much needed re-vamp when we stayed there so the place was a bit messy. Room was not anything special - bathroom was old but this may now have changed. Free wifi in room was terrific. Breakfast of muffins, pastry and fruit was excellent. Could be eaten either in the lobby or taken back to room. Staff... more

I've been in this hotel last February of 2008. The hotel has a convenient free parking, what compared to other options turned out to be a cost saver. It is within walking distance to some shopping streets and if you do not mind walking uphill, you can take a 15 minutes walk to the pier as well. The room is... more

After reading reviews here, we finally decided on checking in at the Buena Vista. To be honest it was between this or the Travelodge Inn up the street, and the free "continental breakfast" (a variety of sweet muffins with one or two bagels total, -horrible- coffee, and some orange juice) won us over. Anyway, after hearing how horrible parking was... more

With free parking, a simple, but decent continental breakfast, courteous and responsive staff, good location and acceptable rooms, the Buena Vista is one of the best values in San Francisco. We'd definitely consider staying there again if we were driving; for us the free parking was a deciding factor. The breakfast was better than we expected -- fresh pastries, good... more

This hotel has a good location, close to one of the cable car lines and to the "world crookiest street". The staff is very helpful, the bedroom is spacious and clean. They offer free parking, which is very important if you go to San Francisco by car, although their parking lot is not so big (which may be a problem... more

Excellent service, very good location (lombard st). Not a luxory hotel but it's ok. Complimentary continental breakfast (like coffee, juice, muffins and some fruits). The staff is very helpul and friendly. Close to fishermans' warf and other point of interest in SF. Nice view of the Golden Gate Bridge on 3rd floor terrace. A lot of info and cuppons available... more
