This location worked out well for us when traveling to different places we wanted to visit. It was pretty much in the center of our different destinations. The only tricky part is the lack of numerous parking spots on the property, but we managed to do well.

Very nice - but very small - motel. Walking distance to the Presidio. Had quite a few amenities for such a small motel. Even being right off a busy street, was relatively quiet. Please arrive as early as possible. There are limited parking spaces for the amount of rooms they have. First come, first serve. Don’t know where you would park if they were full. That’s probably the best tip you could be given for this location. All in all, would stay there again if need be.

I stayed here for 3 nights. Overall, it was a good experience. The check in and out process was easy and quick. This is a well-lit property located in a safe area of town. Staff were friendly, helpful, and professional. The room was exactly as pictured. It was clean, neat and everything was in working order. The bed was comfortable and I slept well. Although there were limited spaces for parking, it was never and issue. Free parking is a plus! I would definitely stay here again.

First, there are only 8 parking spaces for a hotel that has more than thirty rooms, so you likely have to find a space on the street -- not easy. Second, our room only had a table on one side of the bed, so reading before bed was not an option for one of us. Third, the entire place is a lot grungier than the images show.

The property has very minimal parking but street parking is available so it would not be a big challenge during weekend. It is conveniently located to many near by places to visit. It is in a quiet area but not sure on the safety perspective. Had no issues visiting and staying for 3 nights recently.

This would be a great place to stay if you are like me visiting this area on a budget and like to explore the city by foot and by public transportation. However, it’s hard to rest at night because you can hear your neighbors doing their own things. The biggest issue that keep me from coming back is the small mouse I saw creeping out of the bathroom and ran towards my bed when I was playing on my phone on the bed. There was two sightings of mouse poop on the beddings… The room service is good but still… seeing a mouse in the room will keep me away from this place forever…

Great location within walking distance of Presidio. Friendly Staff. Easy check in. Rooms were clean but had a little bit of wear and tear in the bathroom. Parking is a bit tricky, just make sure your reverse driving skills are good! Pretty spacious room. No coffee maker, but decent sized mini fridge. I would stay here again!

Check in was fine, although they won’t let customers inside so you have to check in through a window. Our room was a little dirty, there were yellow spots on the towels and black hair stuck to them. We could hear the other guests from the other rooms pretty well. There is not a lot of parking options, so if you get a spot keep it

Pros: Great location for walking to Chrissy Field, the Tunneltops and the Presidio. Great value for a clean room and comfortable bed. Cons: Having tiny office closed so you have to check in through little window made me feel like it was a very unsafe area. Parking is as described elsewhere- get there early and have a small vehicle! The bathroom floor was not thouroughly cleaned, but rest of room seemed very clean.

I was very pleasantly surprised by Inn at Golden Gate. It was clean, quiet and convenient. Very nice location one block from the Presidio. Not enough parking for the number of rooms, but parking was not hard to find very close by. (That’s so rare for San Francisco.) Price was also very reasonable.

There are many budget motels on the stretch of Lombard Street between Lyon and Van Ness. It's not a bad area to stay, because there is easy access by car to other areas of the city and it's a short walk to the restaurants on Chestnut Street in the Marina. The Inn at Golden Gate is tucked on the quiet end of Lombard between Lyon and Baker, which means it is one block further away from the traffic going to and from the bridge: it's quieter than most of Lombard. It's nicely walkable to the Palace of Fine Arts and the splendid Lyon Street Steps. The motel advertises free parking, but there are only eight spaces for twenty or so rooms. Street parking is available, but you have to hunt a little and read the signs abut hours and enforcement (weekends, you're good). The property is a little worn, but the price was agreeable. Service was adequate. The room was clean; mattress was fine; TV worked well; refrigerator was a little larger than usual for a motel room. Overall, we had a good experience.

This is a VERY basic motel. There are no services available from hotel staff. There is no coffee in the room or at the facility. The closest coffee is about a 10 minute walk (at the Coffee Roastery on Chestnut - a fantastic place). It was quiet and clean. The room was small. I can only recommend staying here for the location (about a 5 minute walk to the Palace of Fine Arts) and/or because it's inexpensive.

My wife and I both said it was the quiet stay in a hotel we have ever had which surprised us. On the other hand the shutters did not shut all the way and there was a light outside the window that was so bright I thought it was mid morning when I got up to use the bathroom at 2:30 AM. I bought some tape to keep them shut and that helped some. The wife said that place was clean, and she is an expert so I will take her word for it. The rooms are very tired but it is pretty tough to beat the location.

It is conveniently located but the walls are thin, the rooms need repairs, and they need to update their website. They should not advertise breakfast when there hasn’t been breakfast since before the COVID lockdown. They should not advertise microwaves in the rooms when there are none. The rooms were clean and safe which are my priorities, but all other “amenities” are non-existent.

Great place to stay if you don't care about the little things like a coffee maker. There is great coffee just around the corner at the Bistro. Parking is tight and not much of it. If you get in to park during the day, stay and take transport or walk to where you are going or you won't have a place at night. Great location. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. There was a refrigerator but no microwave or coffee............ no biggie for me. Price was good for the location and safety.
