This hotel is on Bush Street right next to the Chinatown gate. The hotel feels new (opened in…read more2006), decor is modern and everything in good condition. We had a superior king room on the 10th floor with good light and a great city view, floor is carpeted. Comfortable bed (firm enough) with good quality cotton sheets. It's not the largest one in its category but has adequate space for two people except there is only one chair to sit on. The bathroom however is enormous with 2 sinks, separate shower and tub (although the shower head could be more updated). Small fridge, safe and keurig coffee maker, glass mugs and even wine glasses. There is also a glass carafe you can use to refill drinking water - from a purifying machine on the 7th floor. Restaurant on lobby level serving à la carte breakfast. Small gym but business center has a printer and two computers. Lobby not big but is pleasant and has seating and microwave for shared use. There is also a rooftop terrace with nice views. Location is convenient to Chinatown, Embarcadero as well as Union Square. The neighborhood feels safe at all times. About 4 blocks from the BART Montgomery Street station. Small grocery store on Bush towards Orchard hotel (sister hotel). Large Chinese supermarket (probably the largest in Chinatown) in basement on Jackson near corner of Grant. Abundant food options - restaurants and coffee shops in the same block and around. Not to mention all the Chinese restaurants and dim sum carryout places up Grant towards center of Chinatown.

I booked a two night stay over the Memorial Day weekend and service is friendly and helpful. Check in is easy and it is a green hotel, so uses a key card to turn on the lights, has recycling in the room. There is a refrigerator and Keurig coffee maker but no microwave. I ate out the first night at a nearby ramen restaurant which is only about 1 and 1/2 blocks away. The second night I ordered DoorDash as I was tired from walking all day and ordered from a local Japanese restaurant. I checked out the rooftop garden at night and in the morning, it is spacious but the two days I was here it was cold and cloudy so I couldn't sit down and enjoy it. i didn't try the fitness room as it is very basic, and has towels, water filling station and some machines and not many props. I didn't have time during my stay to workout but if I wanted to, there isn't much in terms of props like weights as the room is pretty small. I didn't try the breakfast here as I brought my own food for breakfast as prices are higher than normal. All in all I enjoyed my stay and wish I could have explored more of the area. I chose this location as the area is a good location and a green hotel.

What are you people doing??…read more Ok, let's say you're in town to party maybe at Bimbos or just wine and dine up and down North Beach and you need free parking and a place to sleep for a few hours. If you're drunk enough then yes, this is a 5 star location for you. You won't remember how yuck it is. The location IS the 5 stars. The free parking is also 5 stars. Now it's your job to determine if that is enough to sleep like shit, have your shower tub have a ring around it with grime in the bottom and a shower curtain that smells like pee. For pillows that are so soft and thin you need three to feel like one. The bottom sheet is not the kind that cinches. It's just a top sheet so it moves everywhere. The "blanket" is some kind of waffle material the thickness of toilet paper. I can't express how terrible I slept. This place could charge more if they upgraded their shower curtains, bought fitted sheets and decent pillows, and really deep cleaned their bathrooms. Because the location and parking are elite. I wanted to give one star to the cleanliness and comfort but the fact I didn't pay for parking is something to consider. Ok- 5 stars location and parking 1 star for comfort and cleanliness Honorable mention for friendly staff Three feels good.

The vent fan in the bathroom is not suffice for that much stink. Lol. Overall I would stay here again. Very friendly front desk guy. Very friendly.

DO NOT STAY HERE!…read more Keep in mind I NEVER leave any bad reviews on yelp and I review so much. (This is my first bad review ever) I would give this place ZERO stars but that's not an option. The motel was informed that we would do a late check in as well as late check out. (When we booked it) We arrived around 3:45am/4am after a long drive to the area. Check in took 20 minutes...(I'm not even getting into that) We requested late check out again at the front desk in person. I followed that up with an online message requesting late check out just to reassure no one disturbed us in the morning early. PARKING There was no parking in the lot and the street parking had street sweeping from 6am-8am. (So couldn't park there) The employee told me where to park the car and I parked it exactly as I was instructed beside the front desk. Numerous cars were parked in non parking places so I assumed it's just what they did with their lot. The room is NOT like the reviews say...so I'm assuming most of them are paid for. (And fake) It's a run down motel. (See my photos) ROOM -Floor boards have signs of water damage and have broken off pieces scattered around. -bedding is not as advertised. It's cheap sheets that don't fit the mattress with stains and holes. -Clock/Alarm has 2 outlets for charges...neither of them work so had to unplug the clock to plug in chargers. -side bed lamp does not work. It's humorous (i think it's a 1W bulb) -walls are paper thin. You hear everything and the employees are loud BATHROOM -mold on walls, looks filthy, floor is torn -BUGS flying around in the bathroom. (Almost left the second we saw the bugs)- -hair on the floor (vacuums or brooms can easily fix this issue) -toilet paper roll left on the thing empty....the room service just forgot to change it out? At 9:50am we are awoken by pounding on our door. Assumed it was a mistake and tried to sleep more...and again 9:55am more pounding. I opened the door they need the car moved. (It wasn't blocking anyone in...and it was parked exactly where I was instructed to park it by the employee) we clearly have the do not disturb sign on the door...yet we are disturbed. I've now gotten 4 ish hours of sleep.... I go down to move the car and the owner of the hotel is screaming the entire time and has attitude like I did something wrong...even tho the employee literally directed us to park there. The owner gave no form of "righting this situation" he was stubborn and unfriendly. I would like a refund or some form of reimbursement or discount for the fact that I hardly even got to sleep. See my photos for bugs, mold, nastiness, and just all around how garbage of a $#!Thole this place is. DO NOT BELIEVE THE FAKE REVIEWS ELSEWHERE!!

A little dingy but not bad…read more My friends and I decided last-minute to stay in San Francisco the night before the Super Bowl. Of course, every hotel in the city was either booked out or extremely expensive. We checked out Hotels Tonight and looked for the lowest rate in the city, which happened to be The Coventry Motor Inn at $145/night. Of course, when you see a rate this low and a non-name brand hotel, you are going to be a little dubious and sketched out. We went out on a limb and booked it anyway! We arrived and parked in the temporary parking zone which doubled as the "lobby." This "lobby" was a little brick room inside of the ground level parking garage. The vibe of this area felt eerily similar to that of Disneyland's Tower of Terror ride - definitely a bit spooky. We were assigned room 114, one with two beds. Prior to getting to our room, we were happy to find there is complementary self-parking in their enclosed garage. An active room key is needed to raise the gates of the garage. This was definitely a plus! This is by no means an upscale hotel, and certain things about it showed even before we got to the room. The elevator buttons and floor numbers did not match up, and the elevator itself is dated and rickety. The entire vibe of the place just felt dated. However, we were pleasantly surprised to see a newly renovated room. The design, color scheme, and decor felt like something you would see in a boutique hotel off the coast. It was surprisingly spacious and felt relatively newer than the rest of the hotel. There was a safe, mini fridge, TV with cable channels, and plenty of counter space. The bathroom had nice lighting, large shampoo, conditioner, and body wash bottles, and plenty of towels. The issues became clear once you look a little closer at the details. Next to the fridge, we saw what looked like a contact container. Upon closer look, we saw that this was indeed an ant bait trap. Thankfully we did not have any ants (at least that we were able to see) in the living area. The bathroom, however, did have ants. There were not many, but there were enough to be noticeable along the mirror and surrounding the bathtub. Also, I noticed that there was a toothbrush oddly lodged behind the mirror (not sure what that's about). Because of the age of the building, the rooms are not sound proof. Pretty much all noise from the street could be heard inside. To add, it appeared that the thermostat was not working. I tried pressing all the buttons but nothing would happen. Fortunately, the temperature in the room was fine and didn't need any adjustments - just something to consider. Overall, I would say that this was a solid night's stay in SF. The issues mentioned are minute and easily fixable. For the price, this was a pretty good deal for a single night. I would not mind staying here again for a short stay!

After an abundance of miscommunication and contradictions from their staff, the unprofessionalism…read moreof sending a cowardly email as opposed to phoning me when I specifically left my name and phone number the night I parked my car to TELL THE MANAGER TO PHONE ME ASAP- we receive this email lol. Dude. I literally told the young kid, Daisy- to number one. Have the manager call me ASAP and number two, MY VALLET CODE! lol you had the vallet 4 digit code. You could've moved it if you knew how. With the code, you can drive it in vallet mode. This is exactly why I only choose to stay at hotels where there is either guaranteed self parking OR professional vallets. We literally live 10 minutes from here in the Inner Richmond. We stay when we allow family to stay at our condo. From now on, we'll just stay at places that have actual vallet service. When booking, it seems cheaper to stay here, but you'll pay w the stress they cause you. The $50-$80 a night vallet charges at other hotels here in the city are 100% worth it. This motel chain (cow hallow and Chelsea) is not worth the small savings you might think you're getting. When management can't phone you and the staff can't figure out vallet mode WHEN THEY HAVE YHE CODE- I just have to SMH. The best part, is they thought I'd ever stay here again lol.

* Four stars with some concerns and comments!…read more My partner and I stayed for two nights (April 3-5, 2026) for their birthday celebration. We looked at the reviews beforehand and we were pretty confident with what we read - we assumed there would be some quirks we wouldn't exactly love, but I wanted a different experience for us. The staff were incredibly sweet, I have no issues there! I do have an issue with the fact that we had a room key with no key-fob that could buzz us in whenever we went out. We had to manually do that, and although there was someone at the desk 24/7, it still was not exactly convenient. The breakfasts in the morning were cute - we loved the dining hall in the basement and the unique elevator (that broke down once when we were here, but it got fixed)! The breakfast setup was tiny, and we were sort of battling greedy guests to get some stuff on our plate. I have to say, out of everything, the worst thing we saw from this hotel were the other guests. They were incredibly rude to the breakfast staff, constantly nagging them about things being empty or out even if THEY were the ones to make said items empty or out. Barely anyone returned their plates - especially not the big families, even though there was a clear spot to put the plates at the entrance/exit. Very deplorable behavior on their part, and I truly hope the kitchen staff has better guests :( We tried to help them a few times with plates because we felt bad. Even if the other guests were treating them bad, they still were as sweet as could be. I really give them credit for that. About the room, I feel like my comments come more from concern rather than anger and judgement, hence my high rating. We did enjoy our room, but we noticed some dirt spots that could possibly be some sort of mold? Quickly, we saw that there was slim to no form of ventilation. The bathroom had no fan and we thought we had no way to open the windows because we tried and it never seemed to work. The first night, we called down to the front desk about ventilation - they claimed they had a fan for us in the closet, but the fan didn't exactly look clean, so we decided against it. We also asked about the windows and we were told "if you can get them open, you can have them open." I was kind of baffled by that response - we didn't end up using the windows the first night. The second day, my friend helped me get the windows open for a bit to get the humidity out. Being on the 5th floor meant we had a l o t of humid air. The windows had no screens on them, which can allow mosquitoes in, and one of the windows has access to the fire escape that the general public could possibly have access to. I feel that maybe in the future, they could at least put some screens on the windows and have them refurbished in a way that would give ability to open them. I understand that they didn't have AC in the rooms due to how old the building is, but when you can't safely open the windows either, it's kind of .. a tough situation. I could only get one of the three open the day we checked out, so we could air the room out a bit. Someone also tried to come into our room on our second night, but we assumed it may have been a drunk guest who assumed our room was theirs, given that they eventually left after not being able to get in. No knocks, just trying to use their keys. On a second note, we were also not given a Do Not Disturb sign, but on our second day, we saw that other rooms had one. We usually have a DND sign on our doors due to what we bring along with us when we stay at hotels. We assumed no one would clean our room until checkout (since we noticed no one ever did the first day). Looking back on the experience now, I feel that we should've been given one upon arrival, as whoever came in our room to tidy it saw some things that probably wouldn't have been the best to see, if you know what I mean ;) Overall, we really did enjoy our stay and the building's charm and staff are what kept us happy. Thank you guys for having us for my partner's birthday and if we ever need to be close to Union Square again, we will definitely come back and book a bigger room :)

The staff members were quick to check us in and offer information about the hotel. They do have a restaurant attached offering drinks in the evening and morning breakfast. The rooms were very spacious and clean. The beds were very comfortable which is important. They also offer complimentary coffee in the mornings at the lobby. There is no hotel parking per say but there is at an adjacent garage that offers a nightly rate for parking. You don't pay that with the hotel. You pay that separately with the parking attendant. I was not aware that the Tenderloin area was infamous for homelessness and drug activity. So just be aware that this is located right in that area. Overall, we never felt unsafe during the day as long as you don't go the wrong way but at night I would say it got a little worse. Inside the hotel was perfectly fine. Never had any moments of safety concerns while inside. It can also get pretty loud on the streets and at times you can hear all that noise in the rooms. Overall a solid pick for a stay in San Francisco.

It's easily accessible when coming over the bridge into the city. Parking in San Francisco can be expensive and difficult to find, so having it included is a huge plus. Between Uber, Lyft, Waymo, and public transportation, it's easy to leave your car parked and explore the city. The motel is family-owned, and you can tell they take pride in the property. Everything is well maintained, and whoever takes care of the landscaping does an outstanding job--the grounds are beautiful and add to the charm of the property. The motel is quiet, pet-friendly, and the rooms are comfortable. During this visit, we met up with friends who had the room next to ours. The adjoining rooms, connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, worked out perfectly for our group. The rooms include a TV, mini refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker--everything you need for a comfortable stay. Overall, this is a great place to stay when visiting San Francisco. It's clean, convenient, reasonably priced, and offers amenities that make your trip much easier. I highly recommend the Marina Motel and will definitely continue staying here whenever we're in the city.
