We stayed in a suite. I chose this place because it came with parking included and price was very reasonable. The AC/Heater worked great, the water pressure was great, the rooms were cozy, clean and spacious, microwave was huge, the roof patio was very cool, and the customer service went above and beyond! I would definitely stay here again!

Very accommodating

Neighbourhood: Fairly clean, mostly just have to worry about dog-owners not picking up. 10-15 min walk to numerous areas with lots of restaurants (Union St, Chestnut St, Polk St, Ghirardelli Square). Transit: Excellent. Bus stop directly in front and across the street. You can get to/from the airport with a bus and train ride (about 60-90 min). Front Desk: I made requests for quiet room with a handheld showerhead, and they were able to accommodate by purchasing a showerhead since the available room didn't have one pre-installed. They also had electric kettles and plastic cutlery upon request. My room was above the garden, and there were people smoking weed there and it was getting into the room. After I brought it up to them (smoking is permissible on grounds, just not in rooms), they took care of it. Room: A/C / heater unit was a bit dusty, and turning it on triggered my allergies. The room shows its wear & tear, but clean and comfortable. The provided toiletries are harsh on the skin & hair, and no body lotion is provided. Conditioner wasn't strong enough. You can still hear people above and beside you, but not what they're saying if they're speaking average volume level. Conclusion: I would stay here again for the value and area.

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!
