This was a very clean, quaint San Francisco little gem! Very friendly and helpful staff. The hotel is centrally located and very easy to come and go. We will definitely be back to the Carriage Inn very soon!

Carriage Inn in San Francisco is a clean, well run, small hotel in the SoMa district (South of Market Street), located near the US Courthouse and Federal office building. Rooms are small, but clean and secure. The hotel has a limited staff, so you are pretty much on your own -- there is one person in the lobby at all... More

We stayed here for 4 nights on the first leg of a 3 week tour of California. The receptionist Mika was very friendly and welcoming. When we arrived the lift was out of order but being worked on. She gave us the option of waiting a little while or getting us help with our bags up the stairs to our... More

We stayed at the Carriage Inn for 6 days in late May and really enjoyed our experience. The staff were always friendly and helpful, especially so when our rebooked airport shuttle failed to show. The rooms were large, had comfortable beds, good shower and a great sofa to relax on after exploring the city. Free wifi was a bonus and... More

We were on vacation from Toronto, Canada. Hotel is a little bit pricey, judging that it is NOT in the best neighborhood (but it is not the worst either.) A lot of homeless hang around on market Street between 5th and 8th street @ any time of the day but the hotel is well situated and within walking distant to... More

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

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
