We found this hotel when running away from another awfull stay elsewhere. Not k owing San Francisco it is always a shot on the dark, but we actually visited the property and looked at the rooms prior to booking it. It is a not a fancy motor inn, but it offers free parking (though limited), free wifi, A/C (a lot... More

We have stayed here before and returned because it was good value and clean.... BUT WE WILL NEVER RETURN. We were awakened by LOUD LOUD yelling and voices and partying females going in and out of a room and management did NOT do anything... were they prostitutes? Sure seemed like it with their clothing and activities. For 2 hours they... More

After staying at over 9 hotels before arriving in San Francisco, we were so disappointed with this choice. Don't be fooled by the website promising you high standards of cleanliness and customer satisfaction. It is a dump. We entered our room and were confronted by a disgusting smell. It didn't go away and we all felt sick by the morning.... More

In October of 2010, I stayed there for 1 night. For $99 I got a room that smelled of mold / mildew, and I also saw a couple of small cockroaches on the wall. It was late in the evening when I arrived in SF, and due to poor planning on my part, there was no place else to stay.... More

This hotel is like a number of hotels in this part of San Francisco that were built (probably in the 50s) around a central parking area. None of these hotels are very attractive, and are usually pretty dated, inside and out. However this one is kept in better condition than most of the hotels of this type. The free parking... More

What makes the Nob Hill attractive is its location and the availability of (narrow) parking. Otherwise, this is a motel with 5 star pricing. More

The rooms are large and comfortable. They are somewhat dated but that's to be expected for the price. Location was great and you could walk to most attractions within 30 mins. The immediate area felt safe and there was a nice deli and grocery store right nearby. More

Parking at SF is expensive.

Was looking for a free parking hotel and yet close to union square and chinatown. Managed to booked Nob Hill Motor Inn and checked... More

If you are considering staying here, ensure you book online not in person. The online rate changes depending on the day of the week but it is way cheaper than the rate quoted at reception. The rooms are huge! The bed was absolutely enormous. The room and bathroom is very clean. Forget the breakfast. It was just American donuts and... More

Stayed in place in November 2011. Arranged booking with an online service. I was grossly overcharged - by over $100 per night - over what someone who came in off the street paid. This hotel is adequate but you have to watch out they don't dip into your pocket more than is appropriate. They advertise a free breakfast and, while... More
