We have been wanting to stay here for years and finally did so. We usually stay across the street at the much higher priced Marriot only by need and not desire. I wish we had learned about this gem much sooner. Staff was very friendly. The location of the Columbus Motor Inn is fantastic. We walked all over Pier 39, Little Italy, Chinatown, and to Union Square. This will be my only place to stay going forward. There area few cons and I will be upfront about. Parking is extremely tight, don't bring a full size pickup. Staff did make one charge mistake and quickly reversed the charge. They claimed I ordered a roll away bed which we did not and found it odd it was in the room to begin with, we never used it. It was after check out I saw the extra $20 on my card. I talked to the front desk and they reversed it without issue. Columbus Motor Inn is awesome.

Very impressed by the condition of the room and Tony was extremely friendly and helpful. The motel was great and free parking was exactly what we needed to move our daughter into the neighborhood. Our room was a little noisy at night from the catering crew from the wedding venue next door. Probably are quieter rooms. Ours just happened to be right over their work area. We will definitely stay here again when we are in town. Inexpensive, convenient location and great staff!
