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.

The garages have lower clearance than they indicate, and can’t accommodate an SUV that is medium to large due to the height constraints. There is a municipal parking garage just a few blocks away on Pierce St that charges $5 for overnight parking (9pm to 9am), however the staff was not aware of this parking garage, told me that there weren’t any parking garages that allowed overnight parking nearby, and instead recommended parking on the street. I would encourage the staff to identify the parking garage and direct guests whose vehicles are too large for their garage units to the Pierce St garage. I didn’t find it until I was leaving the day of checkout, so I ended up driving around for quite a while looking for a street spot, and ended up parking quite a ways away.

A Lombard oasis. You feel like you have completely stepped into a hillside courtyard, but somehow it is Lombard on the other side. Service was nice, room was comfortable and clean, shower was good. It’ll definitely be my first choice on Lombard from now on.

Great Motel

The Marina Motel met our needs of an affordable location with a kitchen. Beautiful flowers, murals, and friendly staff. The king suite was comfortable for two people. Marina Motel clearly communicates the level of road noise, it was not a problem for us.

This is an amazing hidden gem! We LOVED our stay here and anytime we are in the area, we will be headed back. The garages for cars that lock is a huge perk in the city and it is central to all things you would want to go and do. Feels like you are in a little town and the owners are so very kind and friendly!

Great stay, nice hotel and people

The hotel was super nice it had the allure of an Italian Villa. Very unique! It has free parking on the list floor (it works for regular sized cars or medium SUVs). The rooms have a 1940s style, but it is all well maintained, so it doesn't feel dated, it feels like you jumped into a time machine. Everything was very comfortable and pristine, hotel is very kid friendly, people working there are super nice and knowledgeable about the city. Another huge benefit is that they allow you to bring your luggage before check in on your first day and to keep it safe with them until later on the day of your departure. This is is critical, as you do not want to have a car full of luggage in the City, someone will break in your car. Super happy, will stay again next time I visit SF. The neighborhood has great restaurants too. Last but not least, prices were super reasonable.

Fantastic location in the Marina area. Close to great restaurants/bars, the waterfront, and various aspects of the city were accessible (especially by e-bike). The motel has a fun vibe and the unit was cute. The mattress was old and sagging but it didn't really bother me. I would go back there in a heartbeat and stay longer.
