buyer beware: the description reads "entire house" this is a hotel room. (no kitchen)i'm familiar with the way SF properties have been broken into individual condos and i was mistakenly under the impression this would be similar. i paid way too much for what i got. our room was against the street so it was noisy. the only plus:the courtyard is pretty. having a parking garage (too small for some of today's cars)

Great spot for exploring San Francisco
Great location for exploring San Francisco. Super clean with a fantastic staff. I'd have been happy just grabbing a cup of coffee and sitting in the office listening to some of their life stories. The courtyard is a quaint, flower filled reprieve from the urbanness of Lombard.Our room had streetside parking on Lombard Street. Had I been traveling by myself this would have been an adventure in getting into and out of the garage. At least having the fan. This became part of our adventure and part of our story for our stay as we perfected the process. Take note... We were in a Toyota RAV4 and the fit in the garage was snug. If you are driving anything larger you may not be able to use the garage. Definitely check with them when you book. The only challenge we really had with our room, and there is no fix for this, is the lack of seating (except the beds and 1 chair) and a table.We are in San Francisco for 3 and 1/2 days that we packed with as much as we could and still didn't get to everything on our list. Knowing that we will try to go back, we will not hesitate to stay here again.

Good Location
We enjoyed our one night stay here at the Marina Motel. Our exact room was right on Lombard St. which is HWY 101 so expect a lot of noise. Even though there were lots of noise, we enjoyed the stay. The room is very small so I would caution staying anymore than a couple nights, especially if you have older kids or more than 2 adults. I'd advise this room to anyone that will not plan on being indoors. The location is great however. It's a short walking distance to The Palace of Fine Arts and many restaurants, market and bars on Chestnut St.

Great overall location for visiting the city but the room was not as described or seen in the photos. Noise from the Main Street was difficult at night.

Perfect oasis with parking
My family had a trip visiting Point Reyes, Sequoia National Park and Yosemite National Park. We wanted an authentic place in San Francisco to park our rental and enjoy a suite for our family of 4. This checked all the boxes. The European style motel was clean and comfortable.

Good proximity to tourist attractions
Although it was great proximity, the location was a bit loud being on a very busy street. The rooms are very small with no space to hang out. (No couch or table like a standard hotel room). The hotel staff was helpful with finding a space for the standard SUV we had rented, as some of the garage spots were too small..
