I spent nearly 2 weeks at the Del Sol while in town for work. The location is ideal - walking distance to restaurants, shops, bars, the bay and more. The staff happily went above and beyond to accomodate each request. The rooms are simple - but clean and the mattresses are AMAZING! Would definitely recommend to others! Only suggestion: offer...

What do you get when you take an old San Francisco motel, the Joie De Vivre seal, palm trees and a pool and put it in the heart of the city? You have a clean, funky place to stay for your family and dog at a reasonable price with free do it yourself parking. Think simple room but clean with... More

Used the hotel for three business trips. There's some decent places to eat within walking distance and the access to parking makes this an exceptional value in SF. The rooms are clean but simple. It's a walk-up but that's not a big deal. It's got a funky, colorful vibe inside the facility.

My girlfriend and I stayed at Hootel Del and had an excellent experience. The staff go above and beyond and are more than willing to provide tips on restaurants and attractions. You are in walking distance from many attractions. The hotel is a bit quirky, but we loved it. Beds were very comfortable and we would definitely stay their again... More

The outward appearance of this hotel is funky. Lots of primary colors and palm trees in the center court. Ensenada perhaps. But there is a lot too like about this place. First on our list when choosing a place is that it is dog friendly ( no extra charge). The rates for San Francisco are moderate (averaging 190/night for the... More

For my first time visiting SF we booked this hotel. The reason? Because we have a 10 year old son and thought that the colour scheme and vibrant look would appeal to him. Well, it certainly appealed.

As noted in TA and other sites this hotel is a splendidly refurbished motel from another era. But the facilities have been made very fresh and whimsical inside and out. Cheerful colors abound in the courtyard and the rooms are bright and nicely furnished. We stayed in Room 317 which had windows facing a back street with little traffic. The... More
