Although the Seal Rock Inn is further out than most hotels, I really enjoyed my stay. Walking distance from Cliff House, bath ruins and with views of the "seal rocks" it's very peaceful in comparison to the busy city center. Roomy accommodations (albeit a bit dated), some with ocean views. And- with free parking, it's a San Francisco gem! more

A friend that lives in San Francisco recommended that we stay here. We were disappointed when we first arrived - the carpet was old and the room smelled musty. But after we opened the window and door and got some fresh air in, it wasn't so bad. This room is going to be renovated next month. Very helpful and friendly... more

Always wanted to stay here great location for walking beach and trails but room photos and hotel photos and amentities are not correct. We stayed on room 102 for four days come to SF once a month for a least a week. Have stayed all over there are much better choices for value. Room advertised as having kitchenette however all... more

We stayed here for one night on our trip to San Francisco. The staff was friendly and helpful and there was free parking which is unusual in SF. Our room was older but huge with a view of the ocean. Bathroom was small but clean. It was walking distance to lots of things including Cliff House, Louie's (a great little... more

As a former San Francisco citizen, I returned after 10 years to vacation near the Cliff House. I chose the Seal Rock Inn solely because of its proximity to the Cliff House and beach. Huge mistake. The room, though clean, had not been renovated in any significant way since the 60's. Even the most basic cosmetic improvements were ignored, including... more

I called the hotel this morning to book a room. Their recording says they take reservations from 7:30 AM on. I called at 7:45. I was rudely told to call back at 8:30 and then hung up on. I called back 20 minutes later to speak with a manager. The same fellow told me no manager would be in today.... more

My husband was having surgery at the VA Hospital and driving is difficult for me, so I needed to be as close as I could. At 63, alone and partially disabled, the Seal Rock Inn turned out to be the perfect choice. The location in a very quiet neighborhood, along with the layout of the overall facilities, gave me a... more

When I first booked the room, the person who took my reservation wasn't that friendly. When I called back to give my credit card information the day before my stay, the same person asked me several times what time I'd arrive. I told him I didn't know yet, and he told me curtly that if I didn't arrive by 10:30... more

We stayed in January '09. My husband was there for business, and I went along to be with family who live in the area. Overall we were happy with the location and the restaurant. We ate breakfast there twice and the omelettes were great. The room was a bit old and could have used some upgrading but it was clean... more

We had driven past the Seal Rock Inn on several occasions during our previous stays in the city, always assuming that it would be out of our price range. We have tried several other hotels on the west side in the Sunset District with less than satisfactory results. Prior to booking the rooms I used Trip Advisor to look at... more
