This motel is perfect if you don't end up in a room next to a yapping dog. Our room (222) was spacious and had everything we needed. It's close enough to the tourist trap of Fisherman's Wharf, and I'd recommend walking down Chestnut (behind Lombard) down to the Marina for some better places to eat. The receptionist pointed out the... more

I would like to thank you for taking the time to review our property. It is good to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. I am pleased to hear that the front desk staff was able to help you as needed. I apologize for the inconsiderate people in the room next door to you with the barking dog....

Good motel

We asked for a quiet room & got Room 308 - the bridal suite. Very clean & roomy. Also nice view of the city. Personnel were pleasant & helpful. With AAA discount, price was very reasonable. Easy location to catch Muni & travel around. more

I was not expecting much when i booked this hotel but i was pleasantly surprised. When we arrived the service was fast and friendly. The room was a great size with a great view too. The hotel is only a 10 minute walk to "Fishermans Wharf' and all the great restaurants. The hotel also has a laundromat behind the car... more

We stayed at this hotel i n Feb. 2009. The reason why we chose this place: In the Bay-area, parking, the price and it could accomodate 5 pelple in one room without any prolems. The room had one bedroom with 2 single beds and the "living-room" had 2 queen beds. I wish the bathroom had been a bit bigger -... more

I used this site to find the cheapest place to stay in SF without a single review mentioning "bedbugs" or such. My wife and 5 year old stayed for 3 nights @ The Travelodge by the Bay after 5 days of car camping. Minor dings: a drawer that was smeared or stained with blue ink and a shower that squealed... more

for a notoriously expensive city to visit, the travelodge by the bay is a pleasant surprise. our room was spacious (ask for the 3rd floor), clean and met our expectations - nothing fancy but who cares. If you want fancy, go elsewhere. great location - within walking distance of fishermans whart and the red top buses, trolleys and ferries.We left... more

Second Time I have stayed in this hotel/motel. Great all round value for Money. Location on Lombard street is fantastic. 2 blocks away from Fishermans wharf. Easy public transport connections less than 1 block away to all sites and Attractions San Francisco has to offer. Location Safe and I found myself walking around to and from with no safety issues..... more

While traveling to San Francisco we arrived at the hotel around 11:00, they let us check-in early for an extra $23.00 which we appreciated so we wouldn't have to leave our luggage in the van while we were out sight seeing. The staff was very nice and helpful with directions and getting transportation for us the following morning. Because of... more

I have been to San Francisco 4 times now, and have stayed at this hotel each time. It is in the perfect location in the city if you are going to see it all. It's exactly halfway between the Golden Gate Bridge and Fisherman's Wharf, making either trip only minutes away. Two blocks from the Trolley, 3 blocks from the... more
