Second time staying at the Castle Inn. While dated, it’s still maintained well, comfortable, and clean. Bathrooms are upgraded, too. You can’t beat the price for the location. I’ll definitely stay there again next time I’m in SF.

Gets the job done

Pretty decent experience overall. It definitely felt like an average motel - cheap linens, limited toiletries (only soap and shampoo), mediocre bed, etc. But the location was convenient and felt safe, albeit loud. Most pleasant surprise was actually the blackout curtains! They did an excellent job keeping all light out of the room.

This was my second stay at Castle Inn. I chose it for its proximity to locations we wanted to visit. Parking is free which is a plus but very tight. Television was hit and miss.

This hotel was fine! The price was fair for what was included, and we liked that a parking space was provided. This hotel is in a safe area that felt more like a neighborhood rather than a tourist spot.

Castle Inn was clean, quiet, and comfortable, in walking distance to Pier 39, etc. We thought it was a great value too - parking being included was a huge bonus!

Good location, with convenient and free parking included. Large room, quiet at night despite being central. Our room had a congregation of flies inside and out, and had a strong smell of cleaning product. Ok for a few days.

Hidden gem

Ideal stay in a good location in SF. Room was a decent size, with soft comfortable beds, a refrigerator and microwave and free, safe parking. A small property and quite quiet. Very easy to walk to the sights, but handy for local transportation if you prefer not to walk!
