Nob Hill Motor Inn, San Francisco

I gotta say this hotel really was great! P.S. if you use SweetHotelDeals. Net for booking this hotel they usually have some pretty good hotel deals at this time of the year!

READ THIS REVIEW **** I loved everything about this place. Very close to the pier, fisherman's warf and anything you would want to do in San Francisco. A block away from the motor inn are plenty of good restaurants, or quick pizza shops and places to eat, as well as several awesome caffes. The motor inn provides free parking, super fast internet, and many cable television channels. The place was extremely clean and had everything we needed. They provide a small breakfast in the morning as well, very nice of them. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. We wanted to explore San Francisco after the check out time, but didn't want to bring our luggage, as well as we didn't need to stay another night, so they locked up our luggage for free in their storage room and held it for us until 8pm. Extremely nice of them. Lastly, their prices were extremely affordable when we were there. If I ever do get a chance to visit San Francisco, motor inn would be the first place I would look to stay :)

You can't beat this place for cost, room size, & location. The rooms are an ample size, clean, with plenty of closet space & drawers. We didn't rent a car but the parking is FREE here. We were close to several bus stops, The bus ride to Fisherman's Wharf cost $1.50 per person and was a quick 10-15 minute ride. Cabs were easy to get when we needed one. Several great tours are available. With a reservation the tour bus will pick you up outside the hotel. Polk St is at the corner & offers several good restaurants, drugstores, & coffee houses including Peets & Starbucks. This place was a great find!

Location was great! The rooms were clean and well maintained. The owners were very pleasant, helpful and apologetic when one of the 2 rooms I booked was not available and they did make amends in the end. Free parking makes this a steal! Since the rooms are right above the parking garage, it was easy access to your car if you needed it. I liked the fact that this is a small motel with more personal service. Though motel was full, it was very quiet. Recommendation: Call a few days before arriving to San Francisco to make sure your room is actually going to be available to you since it seems that this a frequent problem as per other reviews. I will definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone that is going to San Francisco to see the city and not looking for the pampering of a high priced hotel.

Nob Hill Motor Inn is located just a few blocks away from chic streets of Polk and Union. A short bus ride will take you to Union Square, China Town, North Beach, and Fisherman's Wharf in about 15 minutes. What I really liked about this place, most of all, are the people who are running it. They are quiet but warm-hearted, unpretentious but knowledgeable about the surrounding area. (Four of us are really glad that they recommended the Stars of India buffet place a few blocks away on Polk with its incredible 8.95 all-you-can-eat dinner deal!) When they realized that the room they initially assigned us was not available, we were immediately assigned a junior suite room, which happened to be much more spacious and nicer than our originally reserved room. As others may have pointed out, rooms may be slighly musty, but I'm sure they are still very well-maintainted and clean compared to other motels in a similar price range. Overall, I find the people, location, and service at Nob Hill Motor Inn very satisfying and recommend this place to all budget travelers visiting SF.

On the basis that I have stayed here every year since 1998, as you might imagine, there is nothing I dislike about the Nob Hill Motor Inn. The owners and all their staff are very friendly, and more than helpful. The rooms are kept very clean, and for the price, I think they are well equipped. The location is minutes from the buses, and in particular the California Street Cable car, which takes you straight into Downtown. At the same time it is in a very quiet neighbourhood, with all the local "home from home" facilities you might want ....... bars, restaurants, shops, supermarkets and even laundrettes. Fabulous !!!

Wonderful staff, free parking, and clean rooms. Within a 15 minute walk or $5 cab ride to Wharf, Chinatown, North Beach... Several coffee houses, pubs, and excellent restaraunts right around the corner. Little Thai is a must for Thai food.... We have stayed here 2 years in a row and wouldn't stay anywhere else... The free parking makes this place a steal....

I reserved and booked a room through the SF visitors and convention bureau which provided us with the name of the hotel, booked, paid,and confirmed our room. When we arrived we were told we did not have a reservation and that they had never heard of the san fransisco visitors and convention bureau. Thank God they had a room available anyway, and they were pleasant enough.Apparantly someone screwed up, but it worked out. The gentlemen was particularly helpful and provided us with a local map including which areas to steer clear of. The room was basic and clean. Nearby trolley stops provide access to city and tourist areas.You don't need a car but this motel provides free parking!

Great place to stay when you go to San Francisco. The staff have a great helpful attitude. The room was very clean and quite, and it had many extras. Frige, microwave, internet access. Free parking stall per room, walking distance to the bus, cable car, grocery stores, shops, bars, places to eat. Walgreen one hour photo is two blocks from the hotel. They are open until midnight.

I went to San Francisco to look at the CCA and the hotel I was scheduled to stay at gave me a big hassle upon checking in so I decided to stay somewhere else. Not being familiar with the area I just started walking, it was 5 p.m. and getting dark and I was lugging a suitcase all over the streets looking for a place. I was turned down by three places and finally the people at the Nob Hill said I could stay and only took a small deposit on the room. It was very clean. The next day they gave me help with directions and ways to get around the city. I had a great time in no small part due to the help I received at the Nob Hill. Thank you whomever was working there August 9 through 12 in 2002
