Heritage Marina Hotel

San Francisco Review

2550 Van Ness Near Union

Formerly: San Francisco Vagabond Inn Midtown

The location is very convenient to great San Francisco neighborhoods like Union Street, Pacific Heights, and the Marina. An budget choice on the Van Ness corridor away from the hustle and bustle of Union Square near the upscale real SF neighborhoods. Recent review postings from visitors in 2005 / 2006 have indicated a relatively low quality of the rooms; age of the room furnishings; and maintenance of the rooms. Expect a great location, but an ok room / service based on visitor reviews in 2005 / 2006. Your getting a low cost deal - but the room quality appears to suffer a bit. There are several spotted reports of travelers being walked to other lower quality rooms when the hotel is overbooked. Travelers write in 2005 / 2006:

• "...The rooms are rundown, but somewhat clean......toilet seat was old & scuffed up......shower door didn't fully close and shower never got very hot..."
• "...The quality of the room was below to my satisfaction - insufficient lighting, undone wiring and unclean quilt; overall room looked 'old' and seems maintained occasionally..."
• "...The towel rack was broken, the window was broken and had to be closed from outside the room, the lamp shade was broken. There were stains on the bed spread. Our attempts to have these problems addressed by the front desk were ignored..."

This is not closest to all the action, but with reasonable bus and cable car route skills, you can go anywhere reasonably. And the room savings should be enough to pay for dinner for the whole family! Union Street shopping is just up a couple blocks, too. A stroll past the coffee, dress, and shops is a great early AM diversion. And you'll appreciate more reasonable pricing after a trip to Union Square.

Typical Winter 2006 prices are under $100 per night.
