Seaside Inn

We had a wonderful week at the hotel. The rooms were clean, met all of our needs, staff were helpful, and we were incredibly comfortable. After a day hiking all over the city, we made excellent use of our hot showers and warm, comfortable bed. This place was not only nice to stay at, but was also an excellent value.

what a place !!! parking is available. rooms are clean and the shower speed was amazing. you can hear people talking outside but otherwise, the facilities were modest and just about right to get you sorted with day travel. the golden gate bridge is 6 mins away. plenty gorgeous sites in marina district. the food options are plenty on chestnut street—a few blocks away. the staff was kindly as well, brought me water bottles when they noticed i was too tired to go out. this visit has inspired us to explore more motels in the US.

Small property with a tricky parking lot. The place is clean but there are a lot of little things wrong... like graffiti in the stairway and gouges in the sheetrock of our room. The place is clean and adequate but undeserving of any more than 3 stars.

I’m never the type to leave a review, but after the stay my family and I experienced I feel I’m pushed to do so. This place has been our go to hotel in SF for 4+ years now, but I will NEVER be back here again. Not only did I have some on insanely heavy drugs run up to me looking for someone who was keeled over in corner by my room groaning, I had to call the police because that person overdosed shortly after 2 rooms down from mine. Then the following morning I wake up with bed bug bites all over the left side of my body. Best part is, the property made zero effort to make anything right. They acted as if I was the issue when the bug bites were brought up. Absolutely steer clear.

Stayed for 4 nights and was very impressed with the quality of the stay for the budget and location. Would highly recommend for those on a budget to stay in the heart of San Francisco. My only complaints would only be with low shower pressure and the gathered dust in the room itself. The beds are comfortable, the AC is crispy cold, and the location cannot be beat.

Stayed here 10 yrs ago with fam. Just remembered because it came up in a “worst motel” discussion lol. Rooms are dirty & damp, limited parking, oh and their “complimentary breakfast” was: a bruised apple, a stale packaged croissant, and a bottle of water (at best). Not worth the price, ghetto area too but then again so is all of San Fran🤷🏻‍♂️

Located in SF's Marina District it's not close to the BART or Muni, but it is very close to the Golden Gate Bridge and a few really cool beaches. We booked this hotel at a great rate and their policies are worth looking into if you're trying to save a buck. I enjoyed this place! The beds are comfortable, the sheets clean, the room clean and toiletries are great quality.

We had a lovely 3 night stay here in SF. Was easy to find, and parking available on check in. We didn’t move our car until departure. The area was nice & felt safe leaving our car. Bed was massive, and shower was excellent. Generally clean & tidy. Fridge/Microwave/Coffee Machine in the room which was helpful. We heard a bit of noise from the room next door, but not enough to bother us. Whole motel was quiet overall & didn’t hear anything from the street outside. There is a big Safeway about 8 - 10 min walk from Seaside Inn, which was very helpful. It took us an hour to walk to Golden Gate & 20mins to Fisherman’s Wharf area, so was a good central location.

Do not stay here. They have bed bugs. The room was somewhat clean, but there was mold seen in the bathroom, and the next guest was given a key to our room before checkout time. Definitely do not recommend this place at all.

This is a hidden treasure in a very convenient location. Very comfortable bed, very clean, super sweet owner and reasonably priced! Highly recommended on a budget!

For the price this is a great little hotel on Lombard Street. I've stayed here a number of times and the rooms are clean. Bed is decent. Shower is fine. Nothing to complain about. It's not luxury but you're not paying luxury prices or at least you shouldn't be plus the front desk people are very pleasant.. as others have said the drawback is the tight parking.

Update...The gentleman comes across as though he doesn't seem to love his job, with a sort of crabby feeling emanating from him. Perhaps a session at charm school would help...if the guy is indeed positive with his attitude, it doesn't come across to this reviewer. I would give the place 4 stars if the on-duty person were more "bubbly." I inadvertently revised the wrong establishment. The Seaside is charming and delightful.

We stayed here 2 nights for the 4th of July 2024. We arrived late, and although they had just went to sleep, she was so nice and welcoming! It was a great spot to walk and see the fireworks. Clean rooms, quiet during the night, comfortable bed. She even called our room to let us know the street parking rules and we needed to move the car into the lot. Great stay! We would definitely recommend for people traveling through SF and want to see the city!

My stay was great! Everything was comfortable and clean, checkin was easy, and the front desk lady is very sweet my only thing is can say is the parking is very tight but thats the only close to negative thing I have to say about this place. Amazing! Would stay again!

Great place and location. Staff was friendly. Would definitely go and stay again at this hotel.

This was an amazing stay. The manager helped us with parking, even calling to our room to tell us to move inside to their parking lot to avoid parking tickets. They were fast with replacing towels and tissues. The room was clean and in a great position to fisherman's wharf, great food in Chinatown, the Original Buffalo Wings (who took our order just after closing) just down the street, the pizza place in the opposite direction, the bay bridge and more. Highly recommend! For a short stay or a long one, you're in a great place with great people.

I'd recommend this place if you are looking to stay in SF on a budget. We booked this place months in advance and it was the cheapest/best value. We knew we'd only be using it to sleep so we didn't want to go all out on a 5 star hotel. We did notice that it would have been cheaper if we just showed up and booked it that day since they were pretty empty, but there was no way of knowing that before we got there. This place seems to be family owned. It was clean, there's a microwave and fridge, which is a huge plus, the AC is nice and cold, and the beds are comfy! It's located in a great spot, pretty close to many tourist attractions. I'm taking away one star, though, because there was never anyone in the "lobby" check in area. The door was always locked. There was no one there if we had questions, and if we locked ourselves out of our rooms, we would have been screwed for the night.

Cute little hotel. Staff was very friendly, room was very nice, updated, clean, cozy, and comfortable. Everything we needed it to be since we just needed a place to sleep. Conveniently located next to a gas station. We were able to take a short walk to go get drinks and snacks. And just a short drive to and from GG bridge and pier 39! Cons: Parking is very limited. But not a problem at all during my stay. But I can imagine it to be a pain when booking during those busy times of the year like spring or summer. I would definitely recommend staying here not only for location but for the price too!

Great budget motel. Not impressive looking on the outside, busy street, walls are scuffed up, parking lot IS small like others say... You can hear people running water from other rooms...and I can't say what it sounds like from a bottom floor room because I was on the upper floor...so that MAY make a difference in your stay. But the rooms are surprisingly updated and clean. Staff is friendly. And the windows do a good job at blocking out the sound of the noisy cars on the street. Room includes microwave, mini fridge, small coffee maker, hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, iron, and hangers. Theres not a ton of stuff within walking distance, but that's what Uber and the Hop On Hop Off is for, right? It was a really good deal to stay here and the neighborhood feels pretty safe compared to other areas of San Fran. Would definitely recommend.

Our room was comfortable and had all the amenities we wanted. Plus, the staff was really friendly and the location was central! Highly recommend!

I stayed here for about three nights as my girlfriend who I live with nearby had Covid. I enjoyed the fact that it had free parking, was very clean, and the employees were very personable and nice. If you're visiting from out of town you'll enjoy the fact that it's close to tourist attractions and public transportation. Definitely a superb value and as clean or if not cleaner & nicer than some of the nicest hotels in the city! Will definitely return and refer others here.

Great little motel on Lombard street. Many shops and restaurants to walk to including Fisherman's Wharf and Crissy Field. Stayed here for a New Years Eve concert with Galantis at the Fort Mason Center. Room was clean and comfortable, service was prompt, the only downside is a very small and one way angled parking lot. This parking lot would have been okay if we had a small vehicle but we were driving a Chevy Silverado truck and was difficult to park. But just park once and walk everywhere!

I booked this place because it got an 8.3 on Booking.com. The only good thing is it's in a great location but that's about it. The motel is dingy and rundown. It hasn't been updated in awhile. The walls are paper thin. I could hear my friend talking next door. Noise can be heard easily and the structure of the building is old. I could feel the bed vibrate amid shake. People staying here aren't considerate and make a bunch of noise slamming doors early in the AM. There were drops of dried blood on the bed cover and a small tear on the flat sheet. I won't stay here again.

Great place to stay in San Francisco. On site free parking. Clean rooms. Excellent service. In room coffee. Feels safe during these unsure times of Covid19. Thank you Yogi for being an excellent host. See you next time.

I really like this hotel. I booked it for an overnight trip with my fiance and I because we were going to SF for our 1-year anniversary to see Ali Wong and enjoy the city. Originally I had booked a more posh Kimpton hotel, but the cost of parking and lack of breakfast just didnt make sense to me for 1 night. So I found this little gem online with great reviews. I'll be honest, I've never really stayed in a place like this, but I found it humbling and kind of cute to choose a smaller, more budget-friendly accommodation. The good: - FREE PARKING (where do you find that in SF?) - Location (within minutes of our destinations) - Comfortable bed, WARM blanket - Toiletries smell great - Modern bathroom - Nice danishes in the morning The not-so-good: - Room had a strong smell of Chinese food, but I was able to diffuse it by opening a window and using my own fragrances - Extremely small room but it's so cheap here anyway! - Shower's water pressure in our room was a joke. - Our room was facing the street (#202) thus VERY noisy from moving traffic so I had to sleep with ear plugs. - This last one is very unusual. Upon returning from the Ali Wong show we began to undress and unpack to change into pajamas. The phone rang and it was the manager. She asked if we were okay, and that she had loud banging. I was puzzled but said, "umm... we just got in and are putting our pajamas on?" She said it sounded like things were being thrown. I'm 32 years-old and have been traveling more than half my life, and I've never received a noise complaint. I kind of chuckled then proceeded to take a shower, thinking to myself, well she is going to hear the water running, too. Not sure if our bags were too loud for her or what. I felt we were moving at a normal pace. But whatever. If you are on a budget, are staying in town for 1-2 nights, want free parking and a good location then Seaside Inn is a good option. I mostly gave it 4 stars because of the odor, water pressure and odd noise complaint. Lol.

Excellent service, great location, and very clean! The beds and linens were very comfortable. I slept great here! Plus the parking was very close, making it very convenient in a big city where parking is typically scarce.

Perfect little hotel, in a perfect location! Walking distance to a lot of attractions! Rooms were clean and updated, beds were comfortable and you cannot beat the free parking! The front desk supervisor was very friendly and accommodating. She helped us with whatever we asked for. Excellent place to stay for a quick trip!

I'd like to give this place a higher ranking but I had a situation and it's only fair to share this with future customers. I initially booked my room through hotels.com and very specifically indicated I have a disability and would require a first floor stay. I also indicated that an elevator would also be fine should there be no first floor rooms available. When hotels.com confirmed my reservation, it clearly showed the notes for accessibility and/or disabilities so I was confident! Upon our arrival on Sunday night near 11pm we we're told by the hotel registrar that there was no note on the reservation. I requested to have her look at my cell phone so she can see the confirmation notes from hotels.com, but she insisted there were no notes transferred from them to her. At that point there were no hotel rooms available on the first floor unless I paid an additional fee. I had no choice and was forced to pay an additional $32 for the room. Sorry but it just seemed unfair to me and the clerk although she came around and was a bit more pleasant (all the while she was on her phone), I still felt she should have accepted responsibility. We upgraded to a room that was probably nicer yet still I should have been accommodated. I'm a business ow we and I accept responsibility when things go astray it's part of doing business. The room was clean, very nice in fact and we had a good pleas t stay after all.if you'd like a room with two queen beds and each in separate rooms (with door and all), ask for #111. Best wishes ....

So far so good as this is our 1st of 3 nights here. The bed is comfortable and the room mostly clean. I would recommend that they either clean the walls and/or touch-up the paint. There are lots of dings, smudges and dirty(?) places on on the walls and around the doors. There are only 12 (I think) parking spaces and 18 (?) rooms. I will repost later about the breakfast. I think hotels in SF are more expensive than NYC/Manhattan-Flatiron since it came to over $700 for 3 nights.

This is my go to place when I visit San Francisco. Tried and true. The rooms are always clean, Yogi is very accommodating and kind. Free onsite parking and it's walking distance to lots of fun restaurants and bars. Will definitely keep coming back! Thank you Yogi!

Excelent place to stay comfortable and quiet...good prices and free safe parking and wi-fi

My husband and I go up to SF twice a year for his work, and we've stayed at various hotels around the city, and we were VERY pleased with this place especially for the price. We will definitely stay here again in the future! It's in a good location, within walking distance to many things to do, places to eat, etc. Our room was clean and the king-size bed was really comfortable. The free parking was a great bonus, too. The gentleman who runs Seaside Inn is so nice and accommodating, it was refreshing and made our weekend stay that much more enjoyable! :)

Got the a room here at a decent price and was a little surprised when I showed up. There are 10 parking spaces down what is kinda like a glorified alley in front of the rooms (you have to back out onto Lombard). There was 1 parking space left so we were literally stuck at the hotel for the rest of the day (in fear of losing the spot). We were able to walk a few blocks to Mel's for dinner and down to the Marina area (but was limited). My 16 mo old found a zip lock bag of jelly beans in the bottom drawer of the dresser (kids find anything) which was left by the previous person (so the cleaner did not check). There was some blood on the light switch my husband saw and the caulking in the tub has black mold everywhere (can easily be removed and replaced but needs to be done). I won't stay again because there are a lot more options in the city, but gave it a shot.

I can genuinely say this hotel is one of the most comfortable rooms I've ever stayed in. The parking is a bit small, but it's easy enough to find a space close by. The guy at the front desk was really great, very nice. The room was clean, tidy, nothing bad to say about that. The shower was awesome, spacious. The bed (in 201) sat right at the bay window, which was cute. Clean & comfortable. Tv worked, nice sound/color. I liked that there was a fridge, made life much easier. I left my loft rental early (it was basically a museum) and happily stayed here. Slept awesome(: & they had breakfast in the morning, which is always nice. The woman that checked me out was very friendly as well. When I come back, I'm definitely staying here again.

We made reservations, the inn was clean and help was currently cleaning other rooms with sanitary products. Yogi helped us check in and she was friendly and worked in a timely manner. The room was totally prepared. The beds were clean and comfortable, and white! Yogi asked us if we were pleased in the morning to ensure good service. The location was perfect for access to everything we needed and wanted to see Yogi made us feel very welcome.

This was a nice place to stay for our two day trip to San Francisco. The room was a little small but for two people and our baby it was perfect! The room was clean which was a relief (being that my biggest fear is staying at a hotel with bedbugs!) The only thing I wish would of been different was the parking spaces. The parking spots were very small with not alot of room to backup ect.. But we managed.Everthing else was great close to shops and to stores around the neighborhood. Plus great price for our room and friendly staff!

This place is really nice! Located just behind the ghirardelli square, you can walk there or the fisherman wharf in just a few minutes. Rooms are really clean along with the bathroom and the beds are very comfortable. The lady and man who runs the hotel (I'm assuming) are really nice as well! Also parking was free which is amazing! Will definitely stay here again. Thank you!

I was completely shocked at how great this little motel was. The room was completely renovated...beds, linens, new flat screen, spotless bathrooms, and an overall comfy feel. Because it was a little hotel tucked in on Lombard St I was not expecting much and I am blown away by the deal we got on this place (under 90 bucks). I really think the place is a diamond in the rough. I hope you try it and feel the same way!!!! Oh...and it has free parking, free WiFi, and a light complimentary breakfast (juice, coffee, and pastries).

Such a hidden gem! Stayed here on a recent 5-day trip in SF. I was on the search for a budget friendly hotel that included free parking and breakfast, while also being within walking distance to restaurants/major attractions (greedy, I know!). The inn is not well advertised, so it took a while for me to come across this place. Management - Seaside Inn is managed by a friendly Indian couple. While the husband does not speak much English + does not smile as much, the wife is super friendly and talkative. My mom needed a knife to cut up all the fruit she got - manager lady lent us one. My mom had a sore throat - manger lady gave us some salt for my mom to gargle with =) Free breakfast - consisted of fuji apples, bananas, croissants and muffins. There were also orange juice, cranberry juice, teas, and coffees. Parking - there were maybe 10 parking spaces available, usually at least 1 or 2 spots were free if you came back to the hotel early enough (before 5 or 6p). Lots of street parking around the hotel - just gotta drive around a bit in search of them. Complementary toiletry - the organic papaya-scented shampoo/conditioner and body moisturizer were great. My mom came back to LA looking to buy some online. Room - came w/ 2 full sized beds. Recently remodeled and surprisingly modern. However, either the walls were a bit thin, or I had reallllly loud neighbors! Had to use earplugs to fall asleep. LOVED that the room came with a mini fridge and microwave. Oh, AND FREE WIFI! SCORE! We had a room farther from the street, so street noise was not an issue. -1 star mainly because the bedding had a brown (soy sauce? blood?) stain on it that didn't sit well with me. At about $100/night over Christmas break, this inn impressed us w/ its location, friendly management, free breakfast and parking.

Booked thru booking.com Room was downstairs. Place was clean. Stayed one night Room had double bed. There breakfast consist of coffee,OJ,pastries and banana/Apple. We were able to get free parking which was a plus.

It's was clean, and the staff was friendly. However the room was really small and expensive. Also the "breakfast" was very minimal

Enjoyed this hotel with no real complaints. I would stay here again. Pros: friendly staff, nice rooms, comfy beds, quiet, free parking, free wifi. Cons: although free parking, there's only like 7 spaces, breakfast was a package of three stale mini muffins.

REALLY loved this hotel!! Flew up from LAX with my girlfriend for a 3 day trip to check out AT&T park for the Giants home opener. My only other recent visit to SF, we stayed in Union Square, and was just WAY too hectic in that area for me. Marina district was awesome. A lot of cool little restaurants, bars and shops and way more of a laid back coastal atmosphere. And you're still close to everything the city has to offer. Walking in, I really didn't expect the rooms to be so modern and nice. Very clean and well-kept, super soft bed, and a nice flat screen TV. Truly a hidden gem. Very nice woman and her son that run the place. I will definitely make this my first choice whenever I'm up in San Fran.

I stayed here for two days in order to attend Fog Art & Design Fair at Fort Mason and Untitled Art Fair at Pier 35 in San Francisco. The location is great. The hotel itself is modest. I stayed in Room 203 and found it perfect for my purposes. The staff was friendly, and I had everything I needed, including a microwave, refrigerator, bathtub, and enough space. I'll stay here again!

This is THE place to stay in San Francisco whether you're a tourist or just getting away for the weekend. It's close to everything! On weekdays, it's under $100/night and weekends about $150-$200 when you go through Priceline. However, the owner told us to just call her for a better price the next time we plan on staying. Like Joan L. said, the rooms and furniture are very modern and comfy (except for the lumpy pillows). I also appreciate the fridge, microwave, and blow dryer when many hotels don't even offer those necessities. There's free parking, but come early because there are only about six or seven spaces. They also offer free continental breakfast from 7-10am (I think), which are pre-packaged muffins/danishes (kinda stale), juice, and coffee. And when you get tired roaming the city and just want to veg out, they have satellite TV with millions of channels! Our home away from home. Please note though, the rooms are cramped (this is SF), and make sure to request to not be put in the handicap room (if you don't need it) because the room is even more cramped, you don't get much counter sink space, and won't feel comfortable using the handicap shower. FREE WI-FI, but it cuts in and out.

Great hotel, nice, clean, very modern and comfortable bed w/flat screen tv & free wifi. The breakfast served in the morning was good. they offered fruits, muffins,pastries, orange & cranberry juice, coffee, tea, hot choc. The room was small but perfect for me and my bf. 25min walking to the pier, very nice quiet neighborhood. We made a reservation which was a good idea the room was ready on time. Loved the bathroom, shower was big & very clean. Didn't like that the parking lot. it was free but small, difficult to get out & parking was first come first served. I'll definitely go there again. Price was right.

I loved this place and will keep it in mind for future SF trips. We originally booked our trip at the Holiday Inn in SF and we ran screaming to the Seaside Inn. The rooms are clean, and well kept. You can open a window (which was a concern at Holiday Inn). They have free parking, great prices! The staff is so friendly and helpful. My only complaint if I had to choose one is that the spots are a little small for a very large vehicle. I drive a RAM 2500 Megacab truck.... Location is awesome and within walking distance to a lot of restaurants and parks. The beds are comfortable which is always a concern for me in these types of hotels. Need I say more? Wonderful place to spend your vacation!

Hands down the best little inn we've stayed in while in SF! Yogi and her husband were wonderful rooms were clean property was clean and tidy we will definitely be staying there again! Thank you for your kindness we felt like family!

Wow...I hate to let the word out but this place was the best. Free parking...newly remodeled...king bed.. The place was great...We'll be back.

Wonderful Inn in the middle of everything you'd like to visit in San Francisco. The rooms are very clean. And the management staff are very courteous and attentive. We stayed for three nights and appreciated it.

This Inn is like a glorified Motel 6. The refrigerator didn't work, had problems with the TV-didn't work so I called down to the office and the young man had to make 2 trips in order to fix it. The walls are paper thin-heard the people next us loudly all night. Room was so so-the walls were all scuffed up-needs paint. I won't be staying here again. Paid almost $200 for the night-not $ well spent.

This was a nice little inn on Lombard St. in San Francisco. It was clean and well-decorated. Our room was spacious enough for the two of us and quite comfortable. The bed was the most comfortable we had slept on in several nights! The staff was friendly and helpful. The parking is limited to about 10 spaces, so prepare to park on the street if possible. I would certainly stay here again!

A nice budget hotel (for SFO at least) with refurbished rooms that look pretty good (some of the photos here are the "old" look - they have been significantly upgraded). The bed was new and comfortable and the fridge/microwave was handy for leftovers and beverages. Parking was less than 20-50% full the whole time I was there and there was nearby street parking. The online booking was easy. Checking in with "Yogi" at the front desk was easy and she was very helpful with tips on the bus and which streets (Chestnut and Union were worth going to nearby). The breakfast was minimal so I skipped it. I walked to the many great dining spots on nearby Union or Chestnut Street for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The 30 bus to downtown/North Beach/Chinatown is right around the corner on Chestnut and there's a Safeway a few blocks away. This is a pretty laid back family friendly place in a laid back family friendly part of San Francisco. Easy walks along the shoreline to the Presidio, Golden Gate bridge, and Ghirardelli Square. WiFi was just okay.

My boyfriend and I flew into town for a quick 48 hour trip. THIS PLACE IS PERFECT! They were extremely flexible with our early check in and allowed us to keep our bags in their office(free of charge) after we checked out(we had a later flight out). The room was clean, comfortable AND they offer a complimentary continental breakfast. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. The location was easy to get to and a quick (UBER or LYFT) to most anything fun to do in San Francisco. We will most certainly stay here again. Thank you Seaside Inn for making our stay a memorable one! See you soon!

We came up from San Jose for an overnight and found a great price for a King room on a discount website. Availability of free parking was a big selling point, but we were pleasantly surprised to also get an impeccably clean room with tasteful furnishings, super comfy bed, and lots of amenities such as a fridge, microwave, deluxe hair dryer and iron in our room, at this 2 star motel. The staff was very pleasant in person as well as on the phone. We enjoyed a short walk to Fort Mason for a lovely view of the bridge and Alcatraz, and there is a ton of great dining and shopping also within walking distance. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a quiet place to stay in the Marina District.

Stayed here from November 6th-8th and the service was great! Nice clean room, location was perfect, and no homeless people sleeping out front. Parking lot small and you have to back out of it but for the most part easy to access. Its worth giving this place a stay if your plan on visiting the San Francisco area anytime soon.

I'm usually used to Hotels like the Wynn,Westin etc. So when the wife booked us here for the one night we were going to be in town, I was not thrilled....BUT, upon getting here and checking in I was totally wrong. Yes it looks like a motel on the outside, but the inside was really nice. The bedding superseded my expectations, westin type bed. The room, very clean, Tv was a nice flat screen. The owner wa friendly and very accommodating. The only downfall was the small parking lot but for $75/night price, it was easy to look past. If you are used to resort type hotels, but are looking for a nice place to crash that's very affordable, I recommend this place. Free wifi, free parking, free continental breakfast...I think yes
