I usually stay at chain hotels (Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott) because they are typically consistent in their rooms and standards. I was a little concerned about the Columbus Motor Inn despite all the good reviews. Let me tell you, the excellent reviews are totally on the mark! This place is an absolute gem. When we arrived the guy at the front... More

This was our second stay at the Columbus Motor Inn. It is in a good location, just a block from the more expensive Fisherman's Wharf hotels. We walked to the Coit Tower, Chinatown, Fisherman's Wharf (5 min.) and even back from Union Square one nice day. The rooms are nicely furnished, including a table and flat screen TV, and the... More

Stayed here for two nights in early January 2012. The location of this place is fantastic. It's close to Fisherman's Wharf, and the parking in the garages is easy. The lobby staff recommended several good restaurants, and we never had any trouble. Definitely request a quiet room away from the street for a peaceful night's rest! More

We stayed in a 2 room suite. Very nicely appointed rooms. 2 flat screen tvs. Very comfortable beds. Great location. The only bummer was the WiFi...or lack thereof. The performance of the WiFi was poor at best. If you have an ethernet cord you can connect to the in-room modem, otherwise you're screwed if you need the internet. Evenin the... More

we stayed here for 5 nights and it was wonderful. Close to the trolleys - 1 1/2 blocks; buses right out the front door, the wharf just blocks away. Rooms were nice and clean. In fact I was very pleased with the cleaniness and size of the rooms. Great staff to help answer any of your questions. we were at... More

A good choice. Clean and comfortable with free parking a bonus. No real concierge service, rooms are reasonable. About 3 blocks from fishermans wharf and close to transport. Make sure you get a room off the street as it can be noisy. Would stay again though. More

. We chose this hotel based on the reviews on TA and its location to the wharf. We wanted somewhere within a few minutes’ walk to the wharf and reasonably priced. This seemed to fit that description, and it was all those things. But in this case it was a matter of ‘you get what you pay for’ My first... More

The big advantage of staying here, is of course the free parking. When I was looking at hotels in Fisherman's Wharf, just about every other hotel in the area was charging up to $45 per day for parking. I ended up paying $82 (plus tax) for the room with parking, it would have easily been over $200 total for any... More

Brilliantly located a few blocks from the waterfront, and walking distance to little italy and chinatown, with a cable car terminus just a block away, you can't really go wrong with Columbus, especially if you can get a room not located abutting the street. PROs - good value - well located - clean and spacious rooms - Good staff, not... More
