Totally under the radar family run Uber charming well located place to stay in San Francisco. Been coming here for over a decade and always over delivers.
Absolutely amazing hotel, with kind and helpful staff. The kitchen is great too if you want to save some cash from eating out. My new go to hotel whenever I visit San Francisco.
The staff was amazingly friendly and helpful. The motel was in a nice safe area with shops and restaurants in walking distance. Definitely would stay here again.
Loved the ambiance of this hotel. Spacious rooms and loved the full kitchen. Only thing I would do different is ask for a courtyard room as the rooms on Lombard are very noisy. Super friendly staff that know the history of the property. Clean and well furnished.
The owners and staff are friendly and available for any questions. The ease of walking around is another reason I’ve always stayed with them. Thank you.
Marina Motel is a very special place! It was a perfect rendezvous spot for our family as we prepared to head north for our family reunion. The gardens were so special and unforgettable! Thank you!
It was well managed and clean beautiful flowers all around felt like you were in it in an Italian Villa very well kept secret. I feel spoiled after staying there I don't want to say anywhere else in San Francisco.

Not pet friendly
We reserved a courtyard room at higher price for this "pets friendly" motel. When we got there, only the street side rooms are pets friendly. No refund and an incredibly loud room.
This is our go to hotel when in San Francisco. Clean, beautiful grounds, friendly staff, spacious rooms, and close to great dining and public transportation. The bedding could use a refresh. Other than that perfect!
This is our "go to" place in San Francisco. Rooms are around a beautiful courtyard. Garages. In the Marina District which we love. We highly recommend this historical jewel
