Top San Francisco State University Hotel Reviews

Stanyan Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place. Have stayed here several times. The WiFi is truly atrocious. The worst I have experienced in a decade."

Mirage Inn and Suites

8/10 Good

"It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the room was nice. If you can, get a room on the 2nd floor that looks out the front. My room was on the first floor on the end and people on the sidewalk walked right past my room and could look inside unless I closed the blinds. In spite of that, the area was fairly quiet at night. The room looks like it's been recently updated. It was clean. I got the larger room, but the kitchen area was a bit smaller than I expected, with a half size refrigerator. Housekeeping was nice and helpful, but the front desk people were a bit grouchy/unfriendly. There is a parking garage for guests but the spaces are very, very small. I was able to fit my compact car in the space, but people with larger vehicles may have some difficulties. No amenities, other than a good ice machine. I loved the little market/deli that was next door and the Java Beach cafe that's two doors down is a good spot for coffee and pastries. Easy walk to the beach and the zoo."

Alpine Inn And Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Clean hotel great costumer service"

Remodeled Private 2BR with Driveway Parking & Pet Friendly

El Camino Inn

"Good place"

Cozy 2BR Suite, Totally Private With Parking, Convenient Public Transit

8/10 Good

"A great little spot to stay for a night or two if you are visiting San Fransisco but don't want to stay right downtown. Parking is limited but Joe was so accommodating, giving us his spot whenever we needed one upon arriving back. Perfect for what we needed!"

The SeaScape Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The room was exceptionally clean! Our room faced the street, and the end of the train turn around. Although we were facing the street, the noise was minimal. A few steps to the right of the hotel there is a coffee shop with excellent coffee/pastries (very clean). It is facing the beach. The atmosphere is great. To the left of the hotel, there is Judy's restaurant. Great tacos!! Very tasty. We walked on the beach and bike/ped. area and felt very safe. Will definitely book hotel again in the future. Parking is included, which was great!!"
