Castle Inn was clean, quiet, and comfortable, in walking distance to Pier 39, etc. We thought it was a great value too - parking being included was a huge bonus!

This was my second stay at Castle Inn. I chose it for its proximity to locations we wanted to visit. Parking is free which is a plus but very tight. Television was hit and miss.

Hidden gem
Ideal stay in a good location in SF. Room was a decent size, with soft comfortable beds, a refrigerator and microwave and free, safe parking. A small property and quite quiet. Very easy to walk to the sights, but handy for local transportation if you prefer not to walk!

Gets the job done
Pretty decent experience overall. It definitely felt like an average motel - cheap linens, limited toiletries (only soap and shampoo), mediocre bed, etc. But the location was convenient and felt safe, albeit loud. Most pleasant surprise was actually the blackout curtains! They did an excellent job keeping all light out of the room.

Castle Inn was very satisfying. When I made a reservation, they responded quickly to my questions about parking, and after checkout, they safely managed my luggage storage and parking. The location is very good for sightseeing, and the facilities were clean. Although it is not large, it is good value for money for a one-day stay, and the free parking is very attractive.
