Good location and free parking

The Civic Center Motor Lodge provides a convenient location and free parking in a city where these attributes are important. The prices are a bit high for the quality of the rooms and services provided. The hot water in the shower is iffy....comes and goes at will. Otherwise, the rooms are clean and efficient.

Soild Place

You get what you pay for. The room is solid and the free breakfast is cool. The location is near many things but the upkeep of the hotel as a whole should be improved. They were under construction.

Front Desk people personality is as cold as the San Francisco weather. Hotel is still doing construction after a year and half. Sofa in room is dirty, should be thrown out.

Not Brilliant

In a slightly ropey area (wouldnt wander after dark) pool was closed throughout our stay, despite promise it would re-open on day 2! We were in front part of hotel -traffic VERY noisy as it accelerated from lights, from 6am right through till after midnight. also on paramedic route so lots of sirens! Breakfast pretty good though.

Wasted money

This hotel is a dump. The hotel description on Orbitz is very misleading. It looked like the exterior was being renovated at some point, but was never finished. The room was dirty & stunk of smoke. I immediately took the keys back to the front desk & left. I spent $192 on that room & I didn't stay the night. I wouldn't have stayed if it was free. I would stongly urge Orbitz to remove this hotel from their website.

Addendum: Diamond in The Rough? Maybe.

Wanted to add, that after we returned home we saw a charge for a telephone usage, but the manager waived the fee for us because of the circumstances we faced one evening regarding security. As long as they can maintain security on the premises this is definitely a place to stay in San Francisco!

Truly one af the worst experiences ever.

[...] $198.00 for that room. Other people were renting rooms for $50.00 and $100.00.My friend that was with me went to the office and heard this for her self.It was terrible. It was represented as a Best Western is was not. The place was surrounded by drug addicts. They were in the office eating the sugar. I am 72 years old, It was scary I only left my room once to go to eat at the wharf. [...] SO disappointed Candy Yates
