Travelodge by Wyndham Presidio San Francisco, hotel in San Francisco

Less 1 minutes’ walk from the Presidio National Recreation Area in a peaceful area of San Francisco, Travelodge by Wyndham Presidio San Francisco features views of Central San Francisco.

The staff at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. Her customer service was excellent! Also, we were in a rush and didn't clean our room before going out to explore the city. The staff(s) who came to clean our room while we were out was very respectful. They left our room as it is without touching any of our belongings, while stocking up the tissues and changing the towels in our room. Thank you so much! There is nothing that I didn't like about this stay. I would definitely book another stay the next time I visit SF!

Parking! We drove to SF, which can be problematic when it comes to parking. Loved the friendly staff. Loved that we got a quiet room (a King). Loved that we could open the windows and let in the fresh clean air. Super easy, will stay here again.

Castle Inn, hotel in San Francisco

Centrally located between Van Ness Avenue and San Francisco’s stylish Russian Hill, Castle Inn is just 1 mi from Chinatown, North Beach and Fisherman’s Wharf. All rooms offer free WiFi.

The rates were decent for being in the city. The free parking was a huge plus, because most of the hotels there charge exorbitant daily rates for parking, and there were a lot of great restaurants and places to visit within a short walking distance. The hotel was clean, well-maintained, and it had plenty of security cameras around the premises.

    There are two essential things when staying in SanFran - free parking spot and good location. La Casa Inn has both and it's also really good value for money! You can tell that the hotel is renovated and new. We felt safe here and it was also walking distance from famous SF spots - and if you do not want to walk, you can make it yourself easier with scooters (of course, drive responsibly on the road) which were always nearby.

    The motel is a standard motor lodge type of motel. It's not fancy, but it is right in the Marina and includes free parking, which was a top priority for us as we were traveling by car. Our king room was comfortable and had a microwave and refrigerator. It wasn't luxurious, but it was clean and seems to have been refurbished within the past few years. We loved being walking distance to Chestnut Street and Union Street with all the shops and restaurants.
