Top San Francisco State University Hotel Reviews

Motel 6 San Francisco, CA – Great Highway

8/10 Good

"El lugar estuvo un poco antiguo, estaba limpio, pero antiguo, a mi parecer muy caro para el servicio"

Cozy 2BR Suite, Totally Private With Parking, Convenient Public Transit

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at this property in San Francisco. The location was good for getting to downtown (we drove in each day and parked). Although it was small, there was plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 younger kids. The kids LOVED playing "golf" in the spacious backyard. The communication was excellent, and even though parking was challenging, the host made sure we had a place every day. Thanks for a great stay!"

The SeaScape Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We had a several hour delay and didn’t get to the hotel until1 1:30 am. Staff worked with us even though they closed and made sure we were able to get a good night’s rest. They truly went above and beyond! Great location too!"

Remodeled Private 2BR with Driveway Parking & Pet Friendly

10/10 Excellent

"Property was as described and the host was quick to respond to my questions about parking outside the unit. They even brought in a package that we had delivered to the unit while we were out!"

Newly Private Renovated 2BD/2BA near Mall/Beach/SF

8/10 Good

"We had a nice stay at this little apartment for a 3 day short weekend getaway. It was only a 5 minute (drive) from two different extremely beautiful areas over looking the water (mussel rock and Thornton beach) where there are very unique hiking trails down to the water. There’s a donut place our kids said were the best donuts they ever had (royal donut) and a shopping area with plenty of options for groceries etc.The apartment is conveniently only about 20 minutes from the airport so it was an easy drive back.Inside the apartment we loved that there were 2 bathrooms and the twin beds were on the opposite side of the apartment so our kids who were awake later than us didn’t keep us awake in the other room on our side of the apartment. Wouldn’t recommend for a very long term stay because there was no laundry and no oven/stove. However, there was a full size fridge and a little two burner thing to cook food so we were happy there were cooking utensils and pots and pans and the 2 burners. The street parking was easy and there were always plenty of spots. The bed and comforter were comfortable. The only 2 negatives for us: 1. there was no TV in our room (only one by the kids) and 2. no thermostat in the unit so after a couple days of being way too hot we messaged the host and they quickly replied that the thermostat is upstairs, they had it shut off, and that helped SO much. Great location, easy, very nice host.-family with 2 adults 2 kids"

Golden Gate Park Sweet Home-3 bedrooms-4 blocks to Golden Gate Park

10/10 Excellent

"Very spacious residence with 3 bedrooms of ample size. Quiet neighborhood not far from restaurants and supermarket."

Restored Victorian in San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Very responsive host!"

Absolutely Private President's Suite, Computer, Wi-Fi, Laundry, Pub. Parking

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for my wife and me. Beautiful, nicely appointed, and very comfortable place from the interior to the small deck and backyard. We had bicycles, which we were able to store in the garage (although it’s a seriously steep climb on bike from Golden Gate Park).Regarding parking, it is a bit of a challenge to find a spot on the block, but we always relatively easily found one within a block or two (and did find a spot in front of the building) more than once."

Modern 2BR 2BA Apartment Garden-View

8/10 Good

"Pictures are not quite accurate. Room did not have carpet shown in pictures along with some other items. As other people have noted, entry to the unit is downstairs. Area was clean and toiletries/kitchenware were provided."
