Just as good second time around at this charming and well done motel for a good price. Courtyard atmosphere with landscaping and covered personal car garage! Some rooms bigger than others with less or more types of beds.

I booked our stay at the Marina Motel based on the reasonably close proximity to Fisherman’s Wharf and downtown San Francisco. Advertised as being owned and managed by the same family since 1939 we thought this could be rather interesting. The facade of the motel is rather funky with very colourful murals of flowers and had an Italian village feel about the place with very colourful window/flower boxes on all apartments. We were greeted by a very very friendly lady at check in who could not have been more helpful. We were allocated room 49 which the check in lady warned could be a little noisy with road noise from the busy Lombard Street but you got used to it not to be an issue. Very “old school”decor to suit the image of the hotel greeted us in our room after a steep climb up stairs to the room with a comfy queen bed, a small old style television (but was very adequate), bedside tables and a dresser, an satisfactory bathroom, and a decently appointed kitchen. Don’t expect modern compliances but everything was clean, operable, and enough to make your stay very pleasant. A very short stroll to the vibrant Chestnut Street with a plethora of nice eateries and bars, fashion boutiques, numerous nail and beauty salons, banks, and a rather expensive but nice. Buses at your door were so convenient. This place might not be for everyone’s taste but if you want spending money and wasting it on hotels then this is the place. Thanks a lot guys for our great stay!

The staff was extremely helpful and nice. It is so quaint and lovely a true motor from back in time. The only draw back is the parking is tough especially if you have a bigger car or SUV. There are not enough spaces if the hotel is at capacity. Nothing is brand spanking new but extremely clean. I loved that the windows open and our room was soooo SUNNY !

We were expecting a kitchen but had a coffee machine on a microwave on a small fridge. No tableware or silverware or place to wash dishes. This was in the small print just before check in, but not when we booked.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The property is beautiful and the room was clean. But historic charm quickly loses its appeal when a room lacks modern conveniences. There is not a heating unit with a thermostat. The room has an old style radiator heater that turns on at a certain time. When? Staff didn't know. It was 45 outside, and the heater didn't turn on until ~9 PM. My only source of heat prior to the radiator turning on was a space heater stored in the closet. Additionally, there was no air conditioner. Although not needed in my stay, California can get warm in the summer. Despite it's charm, these deficiencies are not acceptable, especially considering what I paid for the room. The staff should, at a minimum, know when the heat turns on...

The only issue I had was it is old. It's to be expected. It is a classic Motel. Other than that the place is charming and quite. Be sure to avoid the street side rooms. I'm sure they are loud as it is right on the main street there. Dog area is more of a planted walkway but you manage with it or walk around the block. Pet fee was minimal. They accommodated parking formy jeep with roof tent and gear. Off street and we'll protected.

Garden Flashback to the 50's

I picked this hotel because of its close proximity to the Marina District, Palace of Fine Arts and the Presidio. All within easy walking distance. The room was very comfortable and very quiet (inner courtyard). It may be an older property but the quaintness and overall cozy feel makes for a very relaxing stay.

Good, Convenient Place to Stay

Marina Motel was a great choice for us on our trip to San Francisco. We utilized the city bus for our transportation needs with the exception of to/from the airport. It's a quaint, old school property with lots of charm. We anticipated the small room with an older urban hotel. The only negatives were a very rude, noisy guest next to us and the heater not working. There was a small space heater in the closet which we found out about the second day. Street noise is significant but we expected that in the middle of a large city. An option of a softer pillow would have made sleeping much better too. We loved being able to walk to local restaurants on Chestnut St only 2 blocks away.
