Stanyan Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel and a great location."

Mirage Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great Spot For The Beach"

Motel 6 San Francisco, CA – Great Highway

10/10 Excellent

"My stay was during Hardly Strictly Bluegrass concert week. My room was excellent for my needs. It was slightly noisy ,being a corner room on the road during a party weekend. No trouble for me. Not fancy but clean and warm.Right on the beach with food and public travel access nearby."

Hampton Inn San Francisco-Daly City

10/10 Excellent

"Great overall"

Newly Private Renovated 2BD/2BA near Mall/Beach/SF

8/10 Good

"We had a nice stay at this little apartment for a 3 day short weekend getaway. It was only a 5 minute (drive) from two different extremely beautiful areas over looking the water (mussel rock and Thornton beach) where there are very unique hiking trails down to the water. There’s a donut place our kids said were the best donuts they ever had (royal donut) and a shopping area with plenty of options for groceries etc.The apartment is conveniently only about 20 minutes from the airport so it was an easy drive back.Inside the apartment we loved that there were 2 bathrooms and the twin beds were on the opposite side of the apartment so our kids who were awake later than us didn’t keep us awake in the other room on our side of the apartment. Wouldn’t recommend for a very long term stay because there was no laundry and no oven/stove. However, there was a full size fridge and a little two burner thing to cook food so we were happy there were cooking utensils and pots and pans and the 2 burners. The street parking was easy and there were always plenty of spots. The bed and comforter were comfortable. The only 2 negatives for us: 1. there was no TV in our room (only one by the kids) and 2. no thermostat in the unit so after a couple days of being way too hot we messaged the host and they quickly replied that the thermostat is upstairs, they had it shut off, and that helped SO much. Great location, easy, very nice host.-family with 2 adults 2 kids"
