Marina was super clean and the amount of flowers is great to the senses. Tim is super personable and friendly. For an old hotel it still was quaint but had a modern feel. We stayed inside in the courtyard area which was quite quiet. I am sure the outside street rooms are a tad loud at times because of street traffic. The location is great for food and the Presidio.
The owners have done a great job of remodeling and updating the property. The room was clean and bathroom has been recently remodeled. The kitchen was well equipped but we were only there overnight so we didn’t use much.
The reason I couldn’t rate 5 stars is because we were right on Lombard street which was very noisy all night. Be careful which room you choose as there are several that are on Lombard Street. Your garage will also be on Lombard street which is not easy to get into with an SUV in rush hour traffic 😳
Many of the rooms are in the courtyard area off the street and these would be a better choice. The staff was very helpful and I bet they would help you choose the best room if you call. The property is walking distance to many great restaurants and cafes.

We booked a trip to San Francisco on a whim, and the Marina Motel had the best price for a last-minute 4-night stay. It was conveniently located for all the things we wanted to explore. Although the traffic noise was quite literally right outside the window, for what it was worth it was an easy and nice accommodation for us.
Picked this property for the quieter location - Even though our suite was on the street, the bedroom faced the quiet courtyard, so once the door was shut noise was minimal.
Easy walking distance to good coffee and supermarket / which had a great range of fresh and prepackaged options - perfect for the kitchenette
Very cool motel; lots of plants and gardens, rooms nice, bathrooms remodeled, comfortable beds. A bit noisy from the adjoining room.

Cute location but TV service lacking.
Good location, cute property, good price comparatively speaking, annd onsite free parking. They need to update TV services to include cable and streaming. It was a bummer. Also WiFi spotty and slow.
Looks a little rough from the street, but very nice o ce you pull into the Courtyard that the rooms were on. The hotel is older so dont expect "new". I thought it had character. Furnishings were well maintained and clean.
Parking is a plus. They have stalls to park in. Very tight so unload before pulling in.
Location is amazing. 2 blocks from Presidio.
nice front office staff. Easy Check in cozy room perfect for two people with a kitchen! Cute design car garages were great and reassuring would recommend for a quiet relaxing stay hidden little gem
I would absolutely stay here again. The courtyard is beautiful, my car felt safe in its own little garage (tight fit, but our RAV4 managed it), and an incredibly sweet woman at the front desk. The room was a little older, but very well maintained, clean, and well-appointed. It feels like being in a little French or Italian villa. Ealking distance to the Marina. Slightly sketchy neighborhood, but as a woman alone I didn't feel nervous. I will be back!
