I needed to run some early-morning errands near the Civic Center, so I flew in, took the BART and stayed at the Civic Center Motor Inn for one night. I chose this hotel mainly because of the location, low price and some positive reviews. I received a good service on their part, the staff was courteous and helpful, and the... More

The Motel remodel is well done! Great value, free parking, continental breakfast and friendly staff (Jenney at front desk). Will visit again!

My stay for the week was wonderful. The staff were attentive and helpful. And friendly. Yes, the room showed its age, but it was clean. The shower strong and hot. Bed was comfortable, as I slept well every night. Complimentary breakfast was all-you-can-eat, and full of fresh foods. (very tasty, I might add). Nice having a coffee maker and small... More

If you are fussy or sweat the small stuff, skip this hotel. If you want a decent cheap hotel and you want to be in SoMa at night, this is totally the pick. Check in was a breeze even though I was early. I got a room in the front toward the street as opposed to the back and the... More

I arrived here tired and weary after a 12 hour drive, we checked in and after 15 minutes decided we could not stay feeling very un safe and the room and smell in the 2 rooms was terrible and there were vagrants wandering around the Hotel grounds. We were refused a full refund and charged for the first night despite... More

I have stayed at this property many times. It just keeps getting better. This 57 room hotel is a great place to stay in the SOMA or Downtown area. Close to public transportation. Free Parking. Upgraded security. Video camera's and a weekend guard. The Guard is really not needed at this SAFE property. One of the few hotel's in SF... More

Decent, Reasonably priced place to stay. Centrally located. Conveniently located for public transportation. By no means a dump, like other similarly priced places I've stayed at in The City but not the Hilton either. Just a plain, simple, clean, conveniently located place to sleep, shower and change. Has undergone some renovations and still looks like it has some more work... More

My kid is still traumatized. I had never seen bed bugs up close in my life. It was a disgusting experience to wake up itching with bites all over and a bug still feeding on me. There was also a huge stain on the ripped comforter and lots of traffic coming in and out of the rooms around me. The... More

I've stayed here for both business and pleasure. The rooms were a lot nicer than I expected and very clean. Location is fairly central & they have free parking, which is rare in sf. The front desk staff was AMAZING. Alexandra at the front desk helped me plan my itinerary for each day of my first visit and was extremely... More
