American movie style motel. The room is large, with an attached sink, the bathroom is also large and comfortable. The room is clean. In the room there is a small refrigerator and a machine for making American coffee.
Nearby there are places to have breakfast, one in particular is in 1950s style, I recommend it.
For San Francisco prices the Quality/Price ratio is excellent.
The location is convenient because there is a bus stop and there are many places to dine.
The receptionists gave us a lot of information.

The motel was just ok. You basically get what you paid for. SF motels and hotels average above $150. I got us a room for about $100/night w/ tax. So, the good. It's in the Marina. So, walking distance to all the restaurants and bars that the Marina offers. Just skip going to those same bars pass 12 since that's when the drunk 20 year olds are out. The motel was relatively quiet assuming that you get a room on the 2nd floor. Parking is free although make sure to get there early so that you can park in the back. Service was good. The young lady at the front desk was nice. Now, the bad. The motel was last renovated about 15 years ago and it shows. The rooms have paper thin walls. I could hear the people across from us almost the whole entire night. The parking was interesting since there's only 1 way in and out. The worst offender is that this place charges a "service" fee. It's not much, but the fee was deeply imbedded under Hotels.com infamous "fees & policies" section. Hotels.com, why bother giving me a discount if you're going to hide that these hotels are going to charge me an additional fee. Just charge me the correct amount and let me decide if I'm going to book or not. No need to hide it and force us to pay once we're already on site. This grift needs to end.

It was a decent stay. Not as clean as other reviewers said, but it wasn’t bad. Definitely have to keep in mind that it’s a motel, so walls are very thin. You can hear the bar next door and people talking outside or in the room next to you. Parking is free, but extremely tight (one way in and out) and limited (like 15 spaces?). There is additional parking on the other side of the building, but it’s chained off so I guess you have to ask for them to open it up? We were always able to find a spot, but we came in mid-December so it was likely less busy than during the summer/more peak travel times. Location was great and felt safe (hardly any homeless or sketchy folks around). I was disappointed because when I booked the room, it said there would be a tub/shower combo but there was only a small shower. Also, I read that we were supposed to be provided with complimentary water bottles but they charge a $1/bottle. Not deal breakers, but I was counting on getting these things so definitely disappointing. I was able to choose what floor I wanted to be on though, so that was nice. Got ground floor room 109, towards the middle/slightly more towards the back. I do wonder if it would’ve been noticeable quieter if we were able to get a room all the way back or if a higher floor truly is quieter. There’s no elevator though, and I wasn’t in the mood to lug my pregnant self and young child up/down stairs frequently.

Hotel is located on the main Lombard Street and has parking available. The girl on the desk was friendly and after I asked she allowed us to check in a couple hours early (housekeeping dependent) which was great as as we got there they had just finished cleaning our room. Very clean & tidy, fresh towels, toiletries & a coffee maker, microwave & fridge. TV also, but never used it. Beds comfy, all good!

It is a motel and also a bit dated. In the street are all motels anyway and the area is very close to the main attractions. It doesn’t smell good in the room, we kept the door open to ventilate. The air conditioner is a bit noisy but on the other hand the bathroom was quite new and on the ground there was a fake parquet. At reception they were welcoming and helpful with all our requests. Towels were missing and the hairdryer did not work. Parking is free and convenient. If you have a low budget I recommend it but certainly it takes a bit of adaptive spirit

The room (#108) has refrigerator, coffee maker and microwave. Room is very clean, the wooden floor is shiny. Staff (receptionist) are very accommodating (the room is not ready yet but he let us park in the parking area so we can walk around). The lady who cleans the room, always smile and greets us whenever she sees us in the premises. It has free parking. The location is near the fisherman’s wharf, presidio park, golden gate park, etc. Lots of restaurants nearby.

A great location. Felt very safe. Nice sized rooms. Fairly simple, but done well. Exactly what we expected. Great price for the location - walked to Golden Gate Bridge in about 45 mins, the same time to walk along the front to pier 39.

We chose Lombard Plaza because they offered a 2 bedroom suite. Finding lodging for a family with 3 kids is tough unless we want to book 2 separate rooms. This fit our needs...parents in the main room and kids in the attached room with 2 queen beds. It was a little crowded with all our luggage, but we managed. The room was clean, there were plenty of towels, and parking was right outside our door. Our room was near the street, so it was a bit loud but not unexpected. The location was convenient with coffee, sushi, pizza, Walgreens, and other places within walking distance. Overall, we were not disappointed.

It's a basic motor inn with parking right outside the rooms, but each room has a fridge and a microwave so it's possible to do easy meals that don't require restaurant and delivery expenses. Rooms are clean and staff is responsive to requests for towels, etc. I've stayed here twice when in SF for surgery, and it's been great for that as it's located near the hospital and plenty of food options. It'd make a good home base for tourists on a budget as well.

Great part of town, really good for walking, directly beside bus (much cheaper then paying for parking at Pier 39 or other places of that nature). The hotel was very clean and did not feel too cramped. We took many night walks along the coast.
