This motel is very centrally located with an easy walking distance to the wharf district and North Beach, and it is right around the corner from a bus line to the mission district. My room was updated and clean, had a bathtub, which I appreciated, had a nice TV. The motel staff was exceptional, and even allowed me to park my car a few hours before check-in so that I could make this tour I had booked. I would recommend this place to anyone, especially if you have friends coming into San Francisco the one an affordable option with parking.

A very clean and comfortable place to stay that is close to the fisherman’s wharf area, many stores and restaurants, and the muni bus stop if you want to explore the many other areas of SF. Loved the free parking option and the complementary coffee in the morning. Staff was very nice. Check in and check out was a breeze. Highly recommend!

Room was clean and comfortable, and the price was half what other hotels were charging. There was a fair amount of street noise/traffic, but not overwhelming.

We spent one night at Francisco Bay Inn. Reasonably affordable hotel with free parking and walkable to the wharf and pier. It’s an older building but the rooms have been updated quite nice with comfy beds. Room was clean. The walls are thin and it’s noisy but we were exhausted and crashed. The AC unit was noisy as well. I would absolutely stay here again, it worked out quite well for us. if you are a light sleeper, skip this one.
