Convenient and clean motel near Waterfront

I stay at the Surf motel many a visit to SF. The staff is friendly, rooms are clean with some updates like laminate floors. It is well situated near the Embarcadero waterfront in SF. Great location and some good food nearby. It is helpful to be able to park in their parking lot with a parking tag as a guest.
Robin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It is an older motel that really could use an update. The elevator was interesting - maybe historical? The great place about this motel while while visiting San Francisco was it location & staff. We were near the Presidio, which was where we wanted to be rather than downtown. It was ideal for being in an area loaded with restaurants. The staff was great for making s few recommendations. Overall I would definetyly book again.

6/10 Good

Will not be returning

Okay for the overall value, but we will not be staying there again. There was mold in the bathroom, hairs left in the bathroom from the last guests and it was clear the sheets were not changed. We only had one night there, so we dealt with it, but don't recommend staying here

little bit noisy but accesible to beach.

8/10 Very good

A Place to remember in San Francisco

The site of the motel is unusual, located on the busy Lombard street it has access to good food and sites, They do place you with what room you first selected when you paid online or what is available. The rooms are cozy, working cable and amenities. It is fairly quiet and it feels very safe. Good place to stop at when staying in San Francisco for a few days..
Vanessa, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice staff , and the cleaning was just perfect
Maria, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I liked the free parking and they had there own parking lot
Jenny, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

You get what you paid for. Location wise is amazing. Short drive to almost all of the tourist spots. Clean but outdated, and a lot of minor fixes needed, at least in the room that we got. Lots for restaurants in the area that are walking distance from the motel.
Christian, 2-night trip
