Top Lake Merced Hotel Reviews

Geary Parkway Motel At Mine Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. Other than a few minor things that could be improved like having clothing hooks in the bathroom and Kleenex available, everything else was great. As former Sunset district residents back for a visit, we didn't want to stay in downtown. The Richmond was a good choice with so many restaurants and markets to choose from. It felt like our old neighborhood. The room was newly remodeled and very clean and comfortable. The best part of the stay were the staff, who were very friendly and accommodating. They checked on us everyday, asking how we were doing and if we needed anything. It was nice seeing them take pride in their business. One morning I watched them blowing up balloons and laughing in the office as they prepared Halloween decorations. When people enjoy what they do and take pride in their work, they share that with their guests. That's what I saw. We'll be back."

Stanyan Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was my second time staying here. This is a classic old-school hotel, steeped in San Francisco history. Walls have lovely historical photos; it’s a real lesson in the area!! There is a small breakfast served that gets the job done. Happy hour wine really rounds out the warm amenities. The location, across from Golden Gate Park, cannot be beat."

Mirage Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"It was clean, newly renovated, and not far from the beach. Free parking. There’s a very good café just one building over. Recommended."

The Hotel Castro San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"If you're looking for a unique stay in the Castro, the Hotel Castro is perfect! The rooms are cozy but very charming and perfect for 1-2 travelers. There's a grocery store right across the street, and excellent coffee shops and dining options within walking distance. If you're into nightlife, there are bars and clubs just around the corner."

Motel 6 San Francisco, CA – Great Highway

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

The SeaScape Inn

10/10 Excellent

Parker Guest House San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Great visit! Wonderful staff. Very pretty property. Excellent location"

Noe's Nest Bed and Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great. Beds were comfortable and we had a great back yard view and balcony we enjoyed greatly. The breakfast was excellent first two days and became OK the next two days! I will definitely try to stay there on my future SF visits."
