Capri
San
Francisco Motel Review
Linda
writes in September 2001, "We
just returned from San Francisco in August 2001 where we spent 9
days at the Motel Capri for $88.00 plus $12.32 room tax for a total
of $100.32 and I must tell you it was wonderful. If you are
looking for a clean, pleasant, safe and best of all reasonable place
to stay look no further. The Motel is not the Ritz, but ask
yourself how long are you planning to stay in your room when you
are visiting a city? After spending more than twice this amount
to stay in Union Square last Summer we will never do it again!
I found out about Motel Capri on this website and I must say they
have proven to me that doing a little research is well worth the
time. We ate take out Mexican made before our very eyes at
La Canasta - not more than 3 blocks away that was well worth the
wait. Our breakfast stop was Bay
Watch also very close and very good. We also tried the
Greek take out restaurant Wilbur's at 2211 Filbert at Fillmore that
made us wish
we could take it home with us. All in all we're glad we found
Motel Capri and see you next Summer!!!"
"I
travel approx. 100 days/year and have stayed the gamut...from Four
Seasons to critter-infested dives. I am big on value and always
feel that the "Marriott's" are not worth the $$.
I prefer value hotels/motels and even like Motel 6. If it's
clean, near eats and drinks, has a decent cable TV channel selection
and a phone, it's good to me. I was so pleasantly surprised
and had such a great stay at Motel Capri that I feel the need to
tell your readers about this great little budget motel.
This Motel is great. It is in the Marina
district which is nice. You could have everything you
need right here if you didn't want to go anywhere else. 1
mile West of the Wharf, 1 mile East of the Golden
Gate. Located in the same area as many of the Lombard
Street motels/hotels listed on your site, but on Greenwich instead,
1 block off Lombard... which means the street is much quieter.
I had a room facing the street (North) and I could look out my large
windows onto Greenwich St. Surrounding this motel was residences
and each morning I could watch numerous neighborhood residents jogging
along the sidewalk, walking their dogs or just sitting on their
doorsteps talking with each other. I felt like I was a neighborhood
resident, not an out-of-town tourist.
The room was immaculately clean including the tile shower stall
which was maintained well and looked brand new. The furnishings
were old, but who really cares...they were comfortable and clean.
A nice table to put my laptop on while I checked e-mail (and it
was close to the phone and power outlets). Speaking of phone,
this one had a dataport and local calls were only 50 cents w/no
time restrictions. Blinds closed all the way and blocked out
any unwanted sunlight in the morning and the bed and pillows were
perfect and extremely comfortable (I almost didn't want to get up
in the morning).
I had a smoking room which smelled faintly like they had painted
recently. A crack of one of the two large viewing windows
took care of that. The room didn't smell much like smoke...perhaps
the live plant on the table helped with that. Even if you
don't smoke, I recommend a room on the North side so you can people-watch
in the neighborhood from your room.
The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful. The
MUNI bus line 30, which will take you to the Wharf,
North Beach,
Chinatown,
Union Square,
and to any connecting bus, was only two blocks away. The OWL
91 line dropped me off two blocks away at 3:00 a.m. after partying
all night in North
Beach.
By the way, the Bay Watch restaurant was only 2 blocks away and
the breakfast, as preached, was fabulous as was the free coffee
given to me while waiting 10 minutes for a table.
Oh, and I almost forgot....this was a true bargain at only $64 and
change out-the-door including parking for a Saturday night stay!
Quite simply, this motel and it's location rocks and I now have
a "home away from home" in San Francisco."

writes in August 2001, "I stayed at the
Capri for 4 nights in July.I had read a review about this motel
on your site. My rate was 100 per night with free parking. This
was the lowest rate I was able to find for this time. The room was
clean and we had everything that we needed.The room is not fancy,
but is nice enough.The staff was also helpful with advice about
transportation, restaurants,etc.
The
area was very safe and we were able to walk at night with little
or no apprehension.We did hear quite a bit of noise at night from
people walking around outside.We also read about the
Bay
Watch
restaurant on your site. This was by far the best place we ate at
while in San Francisco.The food was great and the prices were very
reasonable. The omelets are unreal! I also agree with most of the
comments you make about the wharf
area.It is ok to visit, but the beggars are sickening and the
restaurants are way overpriced. We did enjoy a great pizza at North
Beach Pizza. The seafood restaurants were a disappointment-
high prices for Captain D's style food.Actually,I enjoy Captain
D's more.THANKS for the great info I found on your site-I was about
to book an overpriced room in Union Square until I found SfTravel.
$68 with parking (March 2001)
Hotel
Del Sol - "...attractively furnished
and a thumbs-up for the price..."
