Comfort Inn by the Bay - San Francisco 37.80113, -122.42446

This hotel is situated on the corner of Van ness street and Lombard street which is ten minutes walk from Fisherman's wharf and the bay- which is great if you want to be slightly away from the tourist hot spots and crowds. Its a five minute walk away from the famous crooked street at the top of Lombard street and you can catch one of the famous cable cars from the wharf which will take you into the city centre. The hotel was clean (apart from slight damp around the windows) and we had a fantastic golden gate bridge view. The hotel staff were pleasant and were pleased to help with enquiries. Breakfast was included in the price of the stay which was good although was mainly continental and the breakfast room was always very busy. We were advised if we couldn't find a table in the morning to take what we wanted on a tray to our room. We really enjoyed our stay and thought the price was very reasonable! We would stay there again.

Had a great experience at hotel.Staff very friendly and extremely helpful and knowledgeable about city.I found all staff to be happy to help with any questions I had and they happily ordered taxis for us as well as our cab back to the airport.Rooms were clean and spacious and we had a lovely veiw of the Golden Gate Bridge.Room also had a safe which I found invaluable(be aware there is a charge for safe)Fridges are also available at a charge.Breakfast was a selection of toast,english muffins,cereal and waffles and was very busy most times we went.Overall I had a great stay and would stay here again.

Very comfortable and clean hotel. The most comfy bed from all the hotels on our trip. Reception staff very helpful and friendly. Good location 10 minute walk to Fishermans Wharf. Plenty to choose from for breakfast. Great holiday, great hotel for the money would definetly go back. Paid extra for the Golden Gate view - well worth it.

I upgraded my stay at the comfort inn and wished I hadnt bothered. The description sounded good - view of San Francisco. Oh it was that alright! We were at the back of the hotel looking directly at the hotel opposite! dont bother if you wish to stay here check your room and view before you upgrade. The rooms were also very cramped.the breakfast was minimal if you could find a chair to sit on. Found this hotel budget rating. Stayed in much cheaper hotels with better rooms and service. Not recommended

booked a premium room, it was a shoebox, not what i was expecting, the breakfast room was not big enough to handle a full hotel, about a third of the guests, so you had to queue and if you were still queuing at the end of service, you were too late as the staff started clearing the food away, and there was an unexpexted car park charge of $26 + tax which wasnt mentioned untill we arrived at the reception.

Previous reviewers talked about the comfort of their beds. I agree - they are great! the continental breakfast is excellent and the location (Fisherman's Wharf etc. in walking distance) is very good. I will go back to this hotel,

We had a great experience at this hotel. We got there early and they gave us a room immediately which was very unexpected. And although you have to pay to park your car we only had to pay for one day even though we were there from 8am in the morning to 1pm the next day. The staff was great. The rooms were clean and it was within walking distance (1 to 2 miles) to fisherman's wharf. Only drawback is that if you plan on going any other place such as shopping area you will not be able to walk. Nonetheless, I would highly recommend this hotel.

The hotel is located walking distance to the Wharf area, to cable cars, & the local bus lines making getting around San Francisco easy & convenient. Our only complaints are the traffic noise and that you had to go to the front desk to check out when you were ready to leave. The room was clean & comfortable. Everything but a mini frig. The view of the Golden Gate bridge was spectacular.

The parking was secure but it seemed kind of silly to have to pay for parking when you have stayed at their Hotel. The breakfast was really good and the staff was more than helpful. Within walking distance to the pier but the walk back is uphill and you should take the bus.

Parking garage is absoluely terrible. The design is awful. You have to lug your luggage up stairways from your car to get to the one level with an elevator. Parking places were lined at such an angle it ws most difficlt to get our car in or out of the parking space. To pay $26 per day extra to park in such a miserable manner is to me inexcuseable. Otherwise the location adn hotel are great.

The location is good and for the price this is a good value for the money. No frills but the room was clean and comfortable.

Staff was very helpful with booking tours & getting a cab when we needed it. Good location, walkable to fisherman's wharf, Ghardelli Square & Street car line. Over all very satisfied. Would stay there again. Breakfast was good & a plus.

Basic room, good breakfast, convenient location, excellent service, fair price.

My friend and I stayed there after a day of meetings and decided to end our trip with fun in SF. The hotel was super from the comfortable bed, the great view (from the 8th floor) of the GG Bridge and rooftops, quiet a/c, quiet in general, very friendly counter staff, delicious continental breakfast (make-it-yourself waffles--hot and good, cereal, etc.)to the quick walk (some blocks) to the wharf and Ghirardelli Square. Definitely would stay there again.

This is by no means a LUXURY Hotel... But it is a GREAT place to stay. The staff was friendly and helpful (I called to find out how to take the BART and Cable Car to the Hotel from SFO before I arrived) My room was clean AND it had a safe for my computer. The room had FREE Internet, a Coffee Maker, and FREE Continental BREAKFAST in the morning. At night, I had a drink at the bar across the street and it was a friendly place (Black Magic was the name). Lombard, the crooked street, is VERY nearby. I had a very enjoyable nights sleep, the room was quiet and my sheets seemed to be new, if not slightly starched. I will stay here again.

Althought the price was steeper than we had hoped for, the hotel was very nice as were the staff. It's located right near the bus stop, so getting downtown was easy. It's also a good, solid walk to the Wharf (wear comfortable shoes!)

All was great until the shouting match in the hallway between two guests (one behind closed doors) regarding money owed and drugs. Called Security and the Police made them leave....finally. Except for that incident, the other guests looked and acted normal. Enjoyed the closeness to the Wharf, etc.

Good value for money. Could do with better service at the reception.

Hotel is very clean and quite,staff are very friendly exept one guy who is an American bold looking, i think he is racist.Was really upset because he talked to me and my husband like we don't speak English at all.But over all it's a very good Hotel compare to the price of other Hotel's out in Market Street,very good bakfast too.

Hotel is located in a nice spot, not too far from Fisherman's Wharf and other sites. Parking is underground, which was very difficult for larger vehicles and $26 per day. Front desk staff could have been friendlier.

Good hotel for the money. My only negative would be the $26 per day parking fee. Seemed pretty steep and the structure was very small - not a lot of room to turn etc.

We were quite happy with the hotel and our room. The view was great! We had other friends staying across the street paying more $$ for their hotel and they didn't have the beautiful view of the Golden Gate Bridge! The breakfast is pretty simple.

They put us at 2nd floor very noise traffic during at night, we can't have good sleep. My husband can't sleep all night long.

The room was nice sized, had everything we needed. Breakfast was a plus. We also had an incident where we checked out but forgot some important papers in our room. We discovered the mistake 3-4 hours after checkout, called to inquire and our papers were found and held for us to pickup. We were very appreciative of the service.

The best thing about this hotel is that it does offer views of both the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. The breakfast is nice to have. It's convenient to get something before we go out since there really weren't very many restaurants near the hotel. We walked down to fisherman's wharf area for lunch. I would have liked more choices of places to eat near the hotel, especially since we arrived a little late and had not eaten. Although you do need to walk quite a bit, the hotel is not too far from most tourist attractions. There's also a bus line that runs right in front. If you're up for walking up a couple of steep hills you'll be at the top of Lombard (Crooked Street) hill. That was a nice surprize.

Comparing to the price, it is good for public transportation. You can't miss the hotel when you get off the bus. If you want a nice view room, you only pay extra charge. The breakfast is a little bit short for me, but it's ok considering the price.

This hotel was a little dilapidated. Desk staff was very helpful. It was within walking distance of the wharf, but was a little isolated.

The staff was friendly and courteous.The motel was close to Fishermans Wharf and to Lombard Street.Parking was cheaper than other motels,I would definitely stay again.

Nicely located. Walking distance to many areas. Near the bus lines. Breakfast is OK but nothing to write home about.

Very quiet rooms, great view of the bay and the bridge. Within walking distance of the Wharf and Pier 39. Public transportation right out the door.

The price was listed okay. But the parking charge was not listed for extra $26 plus tax per day. Also when I asked for one plastic spoon they told me to buy it.

Great location within walking distance of Fisherman's Wharf. Spend the extra $10 for a room with a view of the GG Bridge. Right across the street is a great dive bar, a great sub shop and very good sit down Italian restaurant. Front desk folks were very helpful, and the "make yer own waffle" feature of the free breakfast is pretty swell.

The well kept landscaping immediately set the tone for a positive hotel experience. The friendly and always helpful staff was commendable. Of course, the location to the bus lines and wharf couldn't be beat. The kitchen staff kept the breakfast area a desirable place to start off the day with excellent options of food. The hotel was always clean throughout.

We were upgraded to a room with a view of the Golden Gate Bridge. The staff was really great and helped us get a ride to the airport in the morning. The room was good for the money. It was convieniently located, about a 20 minute walk to Fisherman's Wharf. I would recommend to others and would stay there again.

The hotel is in the perfect spot.. you have access to public transportation... very easy to get to Fishermans Wharf and all the attractions by the bay.. Hotel Staff were very friendly and informative.. I have been to San francisco a few times and the Comfort Inn has been the best hotel .. I will definetly go back to this hotel.

it is reasonably a good hotel. I recommend to choose the hotel to the visitors of San Francisco. Instantly I stayed at Los Angels along with my wife and children. it is also good. In SF they were supposed to give local news paper or wallstreet journal but failed to provide.

we enjoyed our stay in this hotel. the room was so clean and they have good breakfast and the best thing is the room wasn't that expensive but the parking is!(OMG!) anyway i think that's how it is in San Franciso. Great job and thank you!

I say close having lived in this City in the past and walked it from end to end. It's actually about a 10 block walk to pier 39, but it's a wonderful walk that anyone would enjoy. This was the perfect place at the perfect price for our little romantic get-away. Just make sure that there is an ice machine on your floor.

Having never before visited San Francisco, and it being Christmas week, I wasn't sure what to expect before arriving for our vacation. I was pleasantly surprised. The Comfort Inn was located ideally for what we wanted to do and see while in the area. The hotel staff was friendly and courteous, the room was clean and made up promptly each day, and the continental breakfast was actually quite good (gotta love those waffles!) We didn't rent a car and didn't want waste time researching the bus schedules (a mite too confusing for us simple country folk), so we walked just about everywhere without trouble. We felt quite safe in the neighborhoods, even at night. Being an engineer, I did quite a bit of research before our trip regarding price, location, and services and decided on the Comfort Inn as being optimal. We were not disappointed. I'd stay there again without question.
