Found this hotel on Hotels.com which offered a good nightly rate for such a good location but found the hotel's website which offerred an even better rate. Booked on the hotel's website and saved at least 25%. Hotel is located in the Russain Hill neighborhood on Broadway. Walk 10-12 minutes west on Broadway and you're in China Town, just two... More

The motel was well situated for us near Pacific Heights and it had great value for the price since it included free parking (expensive and hard to find in San Francisco) and free wi-fi (unlike most wi-fi at most hotels you don't need a password to access their server). You also get a microwave and fridge in your relatively big... More

This is a motel. There are many other motels in the area which are much cheaper and better but do not list on expedia/tripadvisor. If you are interested in a motel search outside of expedia/tripadvisor -- you'll find better deals. Pros: free parking, free internet Cons: motel, small room, tiny bathroom, relatively run down, rooms face a wall

Free parking is included, decedent central location (although a bit of a wok from anything but close to the bus lines). Room was old but good sized. Fairly clean, although with the age it didn't feel spotless. Average breakfast buffet in the morning. Not the quietest place. Bedding so so. Check in & out was easy.

We had a large & quiet room with fridge, microwave & coffe-maker and king-sized bed. The continental breakfast was boring but healthy!! ALL services were excellent. Great location: near bus stop, grocery store and pharmacy.

This is a motel. It was in a nice area of San Francisco which is within walking distance (10-15 min) of fisherman's wharf (25 to Alcatraz dock). It appears to be family owned and they are helpful in tell you where to go, where NOT to go (always helpful in a new city) and things in the area worth seeing.... More

The castle inn is in a great location and has free parking, but the rooms are getting on a bit, the lack off a safe is also a worry, especially with the mesh windows. Helpful staff offer advice and recommendations on the area.

As previous reviews stated the parking is tight at this hotel, but we unloaded our luggage easily and went to our room which was a two room suite on the Broadway side, this was a little noisy but ear plugs helped and you are in a city so you have to expect some noise. There was a microwave and small... More

I made a reservation more than a month in advance for a future stay. To my surprise, several days before the cancellation deadline, I discovered that the hotel charged my credit card ten times the rate - TWICE. The hotel eventually rectified it by reversing the charge, though the initial respsonse from the owner was somewhat flippant and it was... More
