We stayed at the SeaScape Inn for 3 nights during the last week of April. I'm a bit late writing my review but I still look back on our time there with fondness. From the outside, the SeaScape Inn looks like an old, not-so-great motel. But on the inside, it's spacious and nice. We were amazed at how big our room was and were happy to have a fridge, microwave, desk, and couch. We chose to stay here because of its location in the Outer Sunset neighborhood and it turned out to be a great experience. Loved being across the street from the beach! It was a short walk to the watercolor shop Case For Making where I was taking a class and close to wonderful cafes like Damnfine Coffee. We also loved walking a bit longer to get to Golden Gate Park to see the beautiful trees, flowers, and buffalo. Our three nights there were $115, $135, and $145 for a Thursday, Friday, Saturday. We also got free parking. An amazing buy for SF. You really can't beat that. Only drawback was the shower was powerful and hot for about 5 minutes then it got cold (!!!). It helped us conserve water, that's for sure, but we would have liked consistently hot water for 10+ minutes. I hope the management will work on that. Also there is no elevator and the rooms are up a flight of stairs. Not a problem for us, but if you need ADA accommodations, this is not the place. We had a great trip to SF and we'd stay at the SeaScape Inn again. read more

For the actual hotel experience it's a solid B--they clean the rooms periodically, the rooms are clean and a good size and the beds are comfortable. Considering the price for the San Francisco city proper, it's an A+ read more

Quaint little hotel near the beach and easy access to public transport. It was very clean and quiet. Perfect location for me and the best coffee shop right next door!!! read more

Checking in was easy. Very quiet neighborhood and I have no noise complaints of the muni mobile bus . I do have a couple complaints to add though, the shower temperature does fluctuate from hot to cold real quick the whole shower . We got a king room and did not have the same amenities as the double queen did . We did not have a hair dryer and had a smaller fridge than the queen room . Overall parking was great , good experience. I will be coming back to stay if I want to be near the ocean . read more

The location is excellent to enjoy the beautiful nature of SF. It's right by the beach and a 15 minute walk to awesome hiking trails that have Golden Gate Bridge views. It's also a 5 minute walk from Golden Gate park which is incredibly peaceful and beautiful. Our favorite thing was to grab a lunch at Safeway on La Playa (15 minute walk). Then continue on La Playa for a couple of blocks, take the stairs up to Sutro Heights, and find a bench to sit and eat. The hotel was better than we expected, given the low price. Our room was clean, no carpeting (huge plus), had a fridge, microwave, and was bigger than we thought. It's the perfect place to stay if you are here to see the city. read more

nice staff, very clean. close to beach and breakfast shop. Definitely would stay again

Wonderful location. Rooms were clean and spacious. Yes there is muni noise outside who to be that close to the beach who cares. Will definitely be staying again read more

For a "2-star" hotel, we were pleasantly surprised. Booked last minute through our Southwest Rewards system (which is run by Booking.com). We stayed in a king size room, and the room was very spacious. The bed slept wonderfully (that surprised us the most). There are restaurants and dining within walking distance, and the Muni runs right up and down Judah St. We were trying to stay near the San Francisco Zoo, and the choices in this area are very limited. It sits right across from the beach and we could see the beach from our room! We felt very safe and secure. Do not come here if you want fancy, but if you want a great room to relax in to visit the area and the beach, it is a great gem! read more

For the price we paid (compared to others in the area) this was a very decent motel experience. Everything seemed clean, it was pretty quiet, felt private and safe, and our room had a nice view. We enjoyed the close proximity to the beach. Everything in the bathroom had clearly been recently updated and was very new. The only issues were that the TV didn't seem to be hooked up to any cable/live TV and the streaming services were difficult to use. Also the blankets were very very thin and there didn't seem to be any spare blankets in the room, which was a little frustrating. read more

I booked last minute for it's price and location to San Francisco State University. Exceeded my expectations. The property is immaculate. The room was spacious and the beds were so soft and cozy. Especially after 10 hours on the road from San Diego. The check-in was quick and not difficult. I think I spent less than 3 minutes with the check-in desk. There is a cute coffee shop/café just outside and to the right of the hotel. A pro, and a possible con for some, is that the end of a trolley line is literally right in front of the hotel. It can be loud but it is honestly not that bad. San Francisco has an amazing public transit system so this is definitely a plus in my honest opinion. The beach is less than a 5 minute walk from the hotel. HOWEVER, from Friday to Monday, every weekend, the main beach road is closed to all vehicle traffic so you will be rerouted to surface streets. GPS does not recognize this. The hotel is also next to the southwest corner of Golden Gate Park. I will for sure be staying again. There really wasn't anything I did not like. However, I did not see an elevator for use at the property. There did not seem to be any ground floor rooms at this property. Parking was limited but it seemed secure; as well it was covered. read more

Ugh- idk where start, being a helper I should check the reviews . But I just trusted hotels.com. I have no idea why . But it smelled molding and like old dirty wet rag. The towels in the restroom looked used and dark when they are white . The sink had hair still in it and the floors board were separating. Honestly looked like a scene out of a scary movie. It was dark and the check in window is in the parking lot . It's so dirty and dusty. The blinds were so built up with dusty and the toilet was dirty. We had to ask for fresh towels and I always bring Lysol with me even before Covid and I spray the pillows and linens. The duvet covers were so dingy and grey they didn't even look white. I would never say there again. I wiped everything down with Lysol and Clorox wipes and still didn't feel clean . The furniture looks like they picked from yard sales. The window in the restroom was cover in black dust and spider webs. Definitely check all platforms before booking a room again. I literally never trusting hotels.com again. They gave it a 7 ? A 7? There is no way. I wish I would got more picture. They way over priced for those run down rooms and dingy linens. read more

location is excellent! 1 block from the beach and two blocks from GG Park. the rooms seem to have been recently renovated and the bed is very comfortable. I stayed 4 nights and the owner was constantly around and able to help with anything I needed. excellent coffee shop with sandwiches right next door and the best fish and chips in the city is 1 block away at Hook Fish. it's a residential neighborhood so the evening and nighttime are quiet. The Muni on Judah does crank up around 6am and can be loud at the turnaround. read more

As soon we got to the room my husband got stuck in the bathroom and the next morning the same thing happened to me, the doors wouldn't open. The towels were dirty, the pillows were dirty and the shower had a really disgusting smell. On top of that the drawers were broken the bed frame was broken and the toilet seat was also broken. Not to mention the closet had no hangers as if they expected us to bring them. There was tooth paste on the mirror and the fridge had a weird smell. This place was by far the worst place we have ever been to. read more

Great location. All rooms appear to be in the process of updates (most done?) so the room was really nice, large, comfortable, and clean. I like staying out by the beach when I visit at bc that's where I used to live, and this will definitely become a go-to! Also: PARKING! And...it's literally right at the N Judah train stop. It's not luxurious, but they are doing a nice job!!! read more

Our father was at UCSF for surgery and the medical staff suggested we not stay in the waiting room, so we decided to stay here for the convenience and price. The room seemed clean upon entry. Staff do their job but not overly helpful or clearly communicative. As we stayed the night in room 126, and we found bed bugs. It wasn't infested but we noticed a couple later in the night. We were instructed by the medical staff to relax and this was the not really helpful. I argued for a complete refund and they pushed back. They were not very considerate of our situation. He offered a $100 refund for a $200 night stay, and I asked to talk to the manager, but he didn't immediately allow it. I am waiting to talk got the manager. This forced us to go back home to shower and do laundry before seeing our father because we didn't want to expose him to anything we encountered. read more

The SeaScape Inn - Photo at the hotel room in the morning after being bitten by bed bugs. 57 total!! - Hotels Near Me - San Francisco, California

They got bedbugs. My son and my mother both got bit up and the manager is saying they don't have any. I took my son to the hospital to get it confirmed and it's definitely bed bugs. Do not stay here unless you wanna get bit up like a mf. read more

This may have been one of the dirtiest hotels I ever have stayed at. There are areas that are not being cleaned and some poorly cleaned. And WORST was when I opened a drawer to the night stand and there are marijuana crumbs. And having a small child with me, made this a little upsetting. CLEAN YOUR ROOMS hotel staff!! read more

We stayed at the hotel to stay close for my father in-law who was staying at UCSF Parnassus for a procedure...the reviews looked good and the room looked decent for the price. The outside hallways and getting to the room leaves something to be desired with the ice machine not working and the hallways smelling of urine. Still for $169 a night before taxes and being 3 miles from UCSF Parnassus still thought it was a good deal. Then at night we saw the bed bugs, my sister in-law saw them first and got bit multiple times by the bed bugs (please see photos). The fact the manager showed no sympathy for the situation as we had gotten the room for 2 nights but obviously didn't want to stay a second night. It was like pulling teeth for the family member who rented the room. The fact that all of us had to go home to clean anything that had been in the room...bags, clothes, EVERYTHING!!! Due to the fact that once we told the hospital staff what had happened they asked us to leave until we basically burned everything that had been in the room with the bed bugs. My sister in law even got a steam cleaner for her car as she got the brunt of the bed bug bites. Another family member got bit but doesn't want to post photos. I would definitely NOT recommend this hotel to anyone!!! read more

I stayed here for the night for a friends birthday nearby. When I left the next day I found that they had kept my Drivers license when I checked in. They said they would send it in the mail. I live in San Jose so it would only take a day. I've called three times to make sure they have sent it. They assure me they have. It's been three weeks now. I'm assuming it is floating around on the black market by now. Hotel was gross too read more

Be warned. 3rd floor in 131- looked great on the outside, we even checked for bed bugs but apparently not thorough enough. I woke up, took a shower, went back and saw a bug crawling on the pillow next to me- squished it and it was bloody- throw back the sheets & saw A LOT more bugs. My bites did not show up until 7 days later and I had them bad, all over my neck, arms, knees. My brother's started showing up the next day. When we talked to the Desk person- he said they have not gotten a complaint in 3 years and wanted to blame us for bringing them!!!!!! - I went back and looked at their reviews, they had some in 2019!. We only picked this place b/c it was close to the Assisted living place where my dad was very ill and we wanted to be close. We left the next morning after checking out another room which had a dead Bed Bug. Demanded full refund. The bites are VERY itchy and uncomfortable. Again, be warned. read more

The SeaScape Inn - Hotels Near Me - San Francisco, California

A fairly inconspicuous business nestled within a fairly beat-up but well-to-do beach neighborhood, this hotel sits across a highway from the mediocre shores of San Francisco. The rooms show clear signs of a recent and impressive touch-up that contrast significantly with everything around them, both inside and out. If you choose to go here, tamp your expectations. There are no (obvious) elevators, so if your generally less mobile, or have lots of luggage, staying here might be difficult. Parking is not guaranteed, which had no impact on me considering I take transit everywhere, but for the average American, this might come as an inconvenience. Don't expect breakfast. The only place that sells food before 8am is the local 7-11. The other restaurants in the area are fairly mediocre, so you'd be better off going straight into the city proper, then taking the tram back here. If you're an able-bodied young'un with minimal luggage who doesn't mind taking public transportation, looking for a cheap place to crash while you spend a day venturing San Francisco, this is the ideal lodging for you. If you're seeking a relaxing stay at a comfortable hotel and would like to immerse yourself in the charms of San Francisco, there are far better places for you. read more

The SeaScape Inn there was only one room down stairs which was the accessible room. It had a refrigerator, stove, and microwave. We were asked not to use the stove which was fine. The first night I went to take a shower and it flooded the entire restroom because it had a broken piece. (Which they didn't state that when checking in only not to use the stove. The next day my dad told the front desk they said they were going to purchase the piece and get it fixed that day while I was out. They did not even go in my room. And they never fixed it at all. read more

This review is being written at 6:00 am on Sunday WHEN I SHOULD BE ASLEEP EXCEPT FOR BEING WOKEN BY SLAMMING DOORS THAT STARTED AT 5:30 AM. It stands to reason that the management would instruct guests to be considerate AND NOT SLAM DOORS, ESPECIALLY ON A SUNDAY MORNING. While the room is spacious with a very comfortable bed, it could use a more detailed cleaning. Location is great with the N-Judah right outside the door, I would be hard-pressed to stay here again. read more

I had to stay in this hotel for a couple of days, however I had to extend my days. The front desk kindly extended and let move to different room right away. Also in the room very clean and comfortable. They are flexible with hours, which other hotels kicked out people at specific time. Close to a beautiful beach , I recommend! read more

Do not stay here.. I booked for my daughters graduation, coming from LA. This place is filthy.. and run down. I cancelled my booking of three days, and booked elsewhere for the remainder of my stay in SF. read more

We went to stay at the Seascape Inn in San Francisco on the 13th, 14th and left on the 15th of May. It was for the event to the Bay to Breakers. It was not a good stay. Friday night no hot water, not even warm water, my friend went down to talk to them, they said they would fix it. Saturday morning again no hot water, had to take a warm warm shower. That same morning we down to the office, there were several other people there talking about not having any hot water. The place has run down since the last time we stayed there before Covid. The place needs to be repainted. The entrance door is all marked up, the ice machine was out of order and the bathroom needs help. With everything being out, the person in the office could not extend out checkout time. There should have at least been hot water for what we paid. read more

My girlfriend and I had an amazing time here! First of all our king bedroom was the biggest hotel room ive ever stayed in, period. Great shower and nice little kitchenette situation. Bed was clean and cozy. Walking distance to the beach and the incredible Thanh Long. Check in was easy and parking is free. Whats not to love! Certainly no bedbugs for us Feb 2022. read more

My family and I stayed here recently while my dad was at UCSF. It was a pretty good deal compared to other crappy hotels in SF and was easy to get to UCSF from. I also really liked that the beach was a short distance away. The room was huge and everything was functional. The parking lot was small but at least I had a space to park. I think the biggest thing was we booked another night at the front desk, but then my dad ended up passing away, so we didn't need to spend another night and the man at the front desk said he was sorry and refunded us. I would stay here again read more

Overall it was okay. Pros: we had a decent room that had somewhat of a view of the ocean. They have breakfast and have a OJ and Apple juice and coffee machines in the office which we thought was kinda cool. It was a 5 minute walk to the ocean which had to be the best part. Theres a really cute and nice coffee shop right next door and the coffee was to die for. I kept saying it was like heaven in a cup. Theres television, not a huge selection but it's pretty decent. Our room came with two queen sized beds and they were comfy and the pillows were nice and soft too. The shower worked really great, which we were surprised about. Had a nice sized bathroom overall with enough room for 2 to 3 people to get ready in there at once. Theres lights right above both beds and each bed has a switch next to it for those lights. Cons: theres no elevator and we were on the 3rd floor which isn't a huge deal but it's just kinda scary walking down the stairs cause they're kinda steep. And if you're drunk good luck. Lol. Check out time is at 11, would have been kinda nice to make it at 2 or something but I get it they need to clean. There was an ant issue, which was a little annoying. I left a chocolate chip muffin on the dresser below the TV and the next morning we realized ants were all over the counter and then we realized there was an ant trap on the floor behind the dresser. I guess it just would have been nice if they had at least given us a heads up about that since they had to of known hence the ant trap. The fridge felt like it wasn't cold at all and then my bf realized its because its staying cold with just the ice packs at the bottom of the fridge, other than that it's not working. We thought okay no big deal, we'll just go get ice from the machine. My bf goes to ask for a ice bucket and the guy says oh we ran out. And then he says the ice machine is broken anyways. When I walked by it I pressed it in front of my bf and ice was coming out. So not sure what was up with that. The walls are super thin, I could hear my step son laughing from the 1st floor mind you we're on the 3rd floor. When you go out of.your room you can hear different people talking in their rooms. No smoking on the property, and theres no porch. Parking was okay but kinda limited. Overall I would come back only for the distance.from the ocean and we still had a decent time. read more

Dirty place. My husband and I stayed here a few times and by the third time it was going downhill. Dust and filth everywhere. The housekeeping staff also bring their children with them to work and they become fussy and loud, can't blame them. Also the hallways have flooring so the noise level is amplified. It use to be an okay place. The one thing it does have going for them, is that it's walking distance to the beach. We've decided we'll never stay here again. read more

do not get a hotel here ! i stayed earlier this year around april & my boyfriend got hit up by bed bugs. we decided to give this hotel another try last week with my nephew. he woke up bit from head to toes literally! big nasty bed bug bites! disgusting ! we called & complained & the man at the desk said they don't know what we're talking about & we don't know what we're talking about as well. look on their yelp & so many people have complained about bedbugs but they don't know what we're talking about. DO NOT i repeat DO NOT BOOK HOTEL STAYS HERE ! read more

Its a good hotel I wish they can mop the floors sometime and maybe wash the sheets better but over all a smooth hotel better then downtown hotels read more

Excellent little hotel right near the beach. Beautiful rooms just redone, cozy and inviting. The staff is wonderful, especially Sunny. Previously when we stayed my husband was to have brain surgery at UCSF the next day. After some complications and he ended up in ICU a week longer I went back to Seascape for a room again. Sunny was so concerned and asked about my husband and when he could see how tired I was he even helped me carry my bags upstairs. Will be back there for sure. read more

Horrible experience. When I first got there I went to check in and I told the guy there that I booked online. He asked me for my ID and proceeded to tell me that there was no reservation under my name. Even showed him the BOOKING email to which he picked up the phone and dialed out..to whom?? IDK. Anyways, we checked in and given the keys to the room..115 first floor. Wow..when we got to the floor there was a nasty smell coming from our neighbors room. The guy had his door wide open and was cooking some smelly crap. Well we finally went in and the place was DIRTY. Dust all over. It looked like the floor wasn't mopped nor swept in days. The room didn't have that cozy feeling at all. And out view..lol was of the run down apartment building. We asked for another room and the greeter took my husband to another room directly above ours and that was worse. We asked for a full refund and took off. I will never go back there again. read more

Read some dicey reviews but decided to give this a go for one night. Super glad I did! The room was an ocean view on the third floor. Newly renovated with Pergo flooring and nice tile shower. Very clean. Staff was very friendly and accommodating to our late check out request. The bed was comfy, shower lovely, and location can't be beat. It's right by a cute coffee shop, the beach, and Golden Gate Park. I will be back, for sure! read more

Great location quiet of which I requested Wish granted HUGE room ,limited TV channels ,really don't care about that but if you dooooo. ONly complaint this is NOT a bed and breakfast they have coffee in the "lobby" and instant oatmeal. There is however around the corner a nice coffee ,muffin place and then the ocean !! Will defiantly stay there again read more

Definitely in a sketchy part of town with lots of tweakers walking around. The rooms are nice though. Could use a little better cleaning. We had 3 rooms for a mini family vacation. Room 112 is a huge corner room with a couch in in. Room 115 the fridge had leftover spilled soda in it and the baseboards in all the rooms could use a good cleaning. But again we were only there 1 night and I wanted something close to the ocean. But the weather prevented us from enjoying the beach anyway. Probably wouldn't stay here again. The gentlemen working check in was not friendly. The parking lot is very small. read more

First, the positive: Great location, limited on site parking, freshly painted/inexpensively updated, mostly clean, a comfortable bed with nice bedding. Not so positive: Building did not feel secure. Key access door doesn't close on its own so could almost always be accessed without key card. Room door didn't close on its own so had to remember to pull it closed snuggly. This also meant noise as everyone slammed their door to close it. No fire sprinkler system. Noise carried between rooms. Ice machine broken entire time I was there. Room was not made up one of the days I was there. No elevator, so had to carry 45 pound suitcase up and down stairs. Summary: this place is what it is. A lower end of the spectrum motel. Price vs performance is off, too expensive for what you get. Would I stay again? Not sure. Location was great for the purpose of my trip. read more

Omg I have been in this motel a few time before they remodel and after and I have to say is the best,affordable and clean place I have ever been in the sunset area,not to mention java beach is next to it perfect place for coffee,wine and food,I have to say am totally in love with this motel,location and I will keep coming back too bad they don't do weekly but is ok with prices like this I can afford it lol,come to sea breeze and experience what is like. read more

great place! Clean, large rooms right on the beach in SF at an affordable price! You can't beat it!
