“Nice hotel with great service.”

Reviewed May 16, 2013 NEW

We reserved a couple of months ago, after finding a good deal on Orbitz and then seeing mostly good reviews on here. We stayed here for 6 nights, and didn't have any problems at all. In fact, everyone from the front desk folks to the maids were extremely helpful and very polite. The room was larger than most big city... More

“Not Impressed At All...”

Reviewed May 13, 2013

I was really pressed to find a hotel in SFO during three conventions and finally came across the LAST room in the Carriage Inn. Not only was it overpriced, but I think the neighborhood turned me off more. Here is my honest opinion: 1. Rooms were clean, but not any more comfortable than your contemporary motel on the side of... More

“Not as I expected as being a sister company of best western”

I chose this hotel as recommended by the front desk girl of best western Americania hotel just across the street. The rooms are big but they don't provide a roll away, you have to pay 30 dollars a dAy for parking, breakfast was in a box as if you attended a children's party. This is not wAt I expected of...

“Great quirky hotel”

Reviewed May 7, 2013 via mobile

Spent 3 nights here in may. Handy location for market street, all the SoMa stuff and great links to the rest of San Francisco. All the staff were friendly and helpful, without exception. But have to agree on the wifi. Rubbish. But it works fine in reception where they have a pc to print your boarding passes and that kind... More

“Great rooms, but don't plan on wifi.”

Reviewed May 5, 2013

I love this hotel. I think the rooms are creative and comfortable. The beds and pillows were good. There is a desk with chairs on each side. It was right next to a window. It was quiet, but I always ask for a quiet room (whenver I stay in any city). We have stayed here many times. Parking is an... More

“Best Feature, Good Decor”

Reviewed April 28, 2013

If you are looking for a basic and clean place to stay, and don't mind wearing earplugs at night or aren't bothered by noise, this place is for you! The room decor is super cute and is what draws you to this place, but that's about the best thing they have to offer. The wi-fi is free, but it doesn't... More

“Charming rooms!”

Reviewed April 5, 2013 via mobile

Great local, nice rooms. The area is not as bad as other reviews claim. It's a big city, no different than any other big city in America. A very lively neighborhood! Rooms are well appointed, and comfy.

Dear Cbree, Salutations, Cbree we truly appreciate that you took the time to provide an honest and warm opinion of the Carriage Inn. The SOMA neighborhood like most of San Francisco is filled with eclectic characters which provides the city its own unique vibe. We thank you again and hope to warmly welcome you back to the Carriage Inn on... More

“New wallpaper aside, this is a motel.”

Reviewed March 29, 2013 via mobile

I have not been this disappointed in a hotel in recent memory. While the hotel looks nice in the glamour shots on all review sites, it is a farce. In reality, this a crummy old motel, with fancy wallpaper and some trendy furniture. I'm sure it's a good business model, since they've taken this same approach with two other "hotels"... More
