We stayed for three nights around mid-May 2012. We had specified in our reservation that we wanted a quiet room not on Columbus and despite a late in the day arrival, that was just what we got. Concern about the night vlub next door quickly evaporated the first night when all was quiet. Rooms are large and have the normal... More

Not a fancy hotel but comfortable. You can't beat the location to get to cable cars and walk to interesting places and restaurants. Though we didn't use our car much while in the city, we still needed to keep our car for our vacation and the free parking was perfect.

On our most recent trip to SF, we wanted to stay in North Beach like we always do. But we didn't want to spend a lot of money. And, because this was the start of a road trip, we had to contend with having a rental car. Enter the Columbus Motor Inn. Their parking lots (I think there were two)... More

We stayed here for 4 nights in May 2012. The hotel is in a great location within walking distance to many attractions in San Francisco. My wife and I like to walk so for us China town and the wharf were within easy walking distance. Our room was on the second floor with a balcony that overlooked Columbus Street. We... More

Grocery story, pharmacy, etc.... More

Good value small hotel close to Fisherman's Wharf and tram line etc. Free parking as well which is a bonus. Also very close to great breakfast/lunch place called Pat's Cafe. We stayed three nights and this hotel was perfectly adequate.

After reviewing this hotel we decided to try it out. We were traveling with 2 children so we booked the 2 bedroom, 1 bath suite. The room was clean, great location - within walking distance to the Wharf, Chinatown, Little Italy and many other attractions. The price was reasonable and free parking came along which is almost unheard of for... More

Choose this hotel for location, price and parking(free). It did not disappoint. We were in a room over the road, but noise was minimal. Room was huge, clean and well maintained. A little dark tough, but we weren't in it that much! Great location. Couple of great little cafes for breakfast as you walk down to the piers. Cable cars,... More

We were more than pleased with our two night stay at Columbus Motor Inn. It was our first time visiting San Francisco. We booked this place for the free parking, and location central to lots of attractions. The price was so reasonable, that it almost scared us away. I am glad that we decided to go with it. We were...
