I was looking around to see what there was to do around the SF area and I wanted to be a tourist, so I got the big bus tour ticket. It's the bus where you can hop on and hop off all day. It turns out that this hotel is one of the stops which made it so convenient for us. And I found this out after booking the hotel which was a nice bonus!

My stay at the Buena Vista Motor Inn was top notch as a solo traveler, I had everything I needed! Quiet, clean, safe: everything was really perfect. Only thing is that my shower head was leaking a bit and I was afraid it’d seep into the floor. Otherwise, I slept so well, the best sleep I’ve had on vacation. Great price and great location too, highly recommended!

Excellent place to stay with some reasonable parking options and great service! We had no trouble parking during the weekend and had a quiet room away from the street. It’s a great spot if you’re mainly looking for a place to sleep and park. It’s also within reasonable walking distance (25 minutes) of the Fisherman’s Wharf with a nice walk along the bay.

The parking is very convenient, the room was super clean and since this is a hotel with a hallway, there was no outside San Francisco noise. The front desk people are very nice and polite. We look forward to staying there again. Thanks from Jeff Shulman
