This historic landmark in Downtown San Francisco comes recommended by many travelers, so put it on your to-do list. Don't think that's all there is to do here, though. There are plenty more options waiting for you to discover after Ferry Building. Pier 39, Golden Gate Bridge, and Alcatraz Island are nearby.

6.2/10 (862 reviews)

No parking needed. The facility looked decent on the outside, but very dated and run down on the inside. It's a place to sleep for the night. The Becks motel/hotel in the Castro was a much better experience. Some older hotels just have that lived in look.

9/10 Wonderful! (4,699 reviews)

All was good. Except the heat didnt work right in one of the rooms that I reserved. I was very surprised that my Mom was actually cold in the night. I did try and look at the thermostat the next morning to be sure that it wasn't just my mom misreading the remote. It did work the next night when staff came up to check, so I dont know what happened. I have stayed here many times before flights.
