Room was okay, clean. A little noisy if you face Lombard Street. The staff is extremely helpful in giving directions and any solving any problems. No place to eat breakfast. You have to pick up your breakfast in the office and take a tray and eat in your room.

3 night stay in San Fran. Chosen due to budget and location. 10 min walk to pier 39 and restaurant area, Was clean but the room itself was small. The tv was old and not rough power points in the room. Staff were very pleasant. Rate 6.5/10

Very average and small room, a little worn out, but large and nice bathroom. Didn't pay for parking. Very limited breakfast, but nothing to complain about because it was for free. Situated very good at Lombard Street i walking distance to i.e. the famous cable cars.

Great location - walking distance from most of SFattractions. Room & bathroom outdated but spacious & clean. Free parking & internet. Very simple breakfast - orange juice, coffee, tea, danish pastry, apples provided.

This was our first trip to San Francisco. We arrived around 11:30 p.m. with no place to stay and I was worried. We drove around a while looking at different hotels with vacancies. We spotted this one and I looked it up here on TripAdvisor. The ratings were okay and the price ($119) was excellent. When we checked in, the... More

No complaints... Free parking was great-except I had people double parked behind me every night. The front desk holds the keys of cars that are blocking you in. Just an extra 5 min wait. No big deal. Rooms are average/nice. Glad to have a fridge and microwave included. Bathrooms are spacious. Bed was nice. Will stay here again- great value,... More

The room was clean, the staff courteous, and a short walk to Fisherman's wharf. There is nothing special about the room, and it was all little out dated style wise, but it was clean. Our room was a little noisy on Monday morning, but quiet over the weekend, and we were facing the street. Be careful of the short walk... More

There is a lot of criticism of Francisco Bay Inn, but the way I see it, you get what you pay for! I have no complaints because I’m not in much a position too. I came to SF to visit a cousin and looked for a reasonable place to stay – the Francisco Bay Inn was fine. The rooms are... More

This is a very reasonably priced, clean motel. There is not a lot of street noise but the loud TV in the next room woke us many times. We asked for extra towels 3 days and they only left them one day. There is only one place to put a suitcase with no luggage rack for another one. There is... More

Excellent customer service and nice management. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I left clothing in our room after checking out and the staff and general manager of the Inn went above and beyond to expedite the return of my personal items. The rooms were nice and a great value for the area. Our room was cozy and included... More
