Marina
Motel
San
Francisco Review - Highly Recommended
Jeff
writes, "I stayed 8 days at the Marina Motel on
Lombard St. I cannot say enough nice things about the staff. I still
think this place is the best deal in the Bay Area when you consider
the kitchen and parking included. The location is extremely convenient
and easy to find for the first- time visitor, although I've been
to San Francisco so many times I no longer need road maps. Having
all the shopping conveniences on Chestnut St, just one block away
is extremely convenient. And since I am an avid cyclist I appreciate
being close to the Bay and all the bike routes that take you through
Fort Mason and other areas on the waterfront, all the way around
the Peninsula. Best rarely noticed feature of staying at the Marina
Motel? If your a YMCA member there is a Y close by in the Presidio.
Pool and all facilities about a 10 minute walk away."
Bob
and Jan write in August 2000, "The Marina Motel is one of the
best bargains we've ever found. Our courtyard room was clean,
quiet and complete with kitchen and heat which we used a couple
of mornings. We found the location to be ideal as we could
walk to so many nearby areas such as Chestnut Street. We had
City Passes and no car, so we used the public
transportation that was just a couple of blocks away.
We were particularly impressed with the patience, knowledge and
concern of the public transit operators. We've already told
all who will listen how great our stay was and will return again.

writes, "The Marina Motel on Lombard is located
in a very nice Spanish building built in 1939. My room was clean,
but a bit small. Some rooms include a kitchen and are slightly larger.
The hotel is located within walking distance of the Golden Gate
Bridge and Marina. There are many good restaurants nearby. The rooms
include indoor parking. I thought it had a big bang for the buck.
"
J.M. concurs, "I can't say enough nice things about
the Marina Motel. Proximity to everything is great.
Loved shopping and all the stores on Chestnut Street (1 block away)
And of course the Castro is just a short drive up Divisadero Street.
The rooms were very clean, and included a working cable TV.
I recommend a courtyard room, as it is noisy on Lombard. I
had a kitchenette which does save a traveler lots of money on breakfasts
and other meals where you don't want to eat out. Yes the
room is small, but the covered parking makes up for that.
If you drive a very large vehicle you may find the garages a tight
fit. They do charge for time used on local phone calls and
a high amount for long distance calls. I would not recommend
plugging in a laptop computer and going online there. I liked
the staff and the atmosphere of the Marina Motel and will return
in the future."
L.L. writes, "I would like to highly recommend the Marina
Motel. The room was very clean and comfortable with two double
beds and an in-room refrigerator. Our room was a courtyard
room so the noise from busy Lombard Street did not bother us at
all. The motel, built in 1939 has a wonderful charm to it
with bright and airy rooms, lovely pink exterior featuring murals
and lots of flowering plants. Individual garages are also available
at no extra charge directly below the rooms. It is convenient
to the Golden
Gate Bridge, Marina and great shopping and restaurants
on Chestnut
Street, just a block away. The owner's dog, Calvin, comes
to work daily and is very friendly and adds to the wonderful charm
and friendly, helpful staff of the Marina Motel. Thanks to
your hotel review we found a wonderful place to stay while in beautiful
San Francisco, and look forward to returning to the Marina Motel."
K.R. writes, "Our courtyard room at The Marina Motel on
Lombard was quaint, very clean and included a refrigerator.
Outside there were flowering potted plants everwhere. The
office staff was very friendly and helpful with recommendations
when asked. Convenient to eateries
(reasonable and good), drug store and gas station. Close to
MUNI bus station
which we used extensively the four days while we parked our car
in the free-garage. We stayed at national chain hotels
at our other stops and they never compared to the ambiance and friendliness
of the Marina Motel. We highly recommend and will return..."
