Geary Parkway Motel

This hotel was very clean. Helpful professional staff. Nearby the mass transit convenient stores and sushi bar. As well as Jack-​in-​the-​Box. I feel very safe and comfortable bringing my family here comfortable beds pillows clean bathrooms definitely recommend and if I ever come back to San Francisco again I would stay here. The pricing for the rooms was reasonable as well

Do yourself a favor, and stay anywhere but here. Extremly rude non-​accommodating owners, lack of ability to contact hotel («phone issues»), limited parking (means you are parking on the sketchy streets if you can even find a parking spot), tiny rooms, horrible late night noises– from car alarms going off right outside rooms, thin walls allow you to hear walking above you, and other noises you definitely don’t want to have your family woken up to in the middle of the night, only a couple TV channels, Positives– AC worked, although run down, the room seemed clean.

As a business traveler I have seen lots of hotels. I typically stay in nice spots because the company pays for it. When on a stay in San Francisco on my own dime, I stayed here. I was very impressed. The hotel has clean, odor free rooms, fridge, microwave, lots of plug ins, high quality toileteries, nice towels. Best of all. A very good bed and quality cotton sheets. Super quality for the money.

I’m handicap and the bed kept me up all night not even my pain medication did not help me.

Trop cher pour le standing proposé !
Douche mal nettoyée, de longs cheveux noirs dedans alors que je suis blonde. Pas de doute possible…
Très très bruyant, aucune isolation avec l’extérieur, fenêtres même pas en double vitrage !!
Les réceptionnistes sont correctes.
L’hôtel est cependant assez bien situé: 30 minutes du centre par la ligne 38 qui passé juste devant l’hôtel, proche du parc du golden gate !
De plus le petit frigo et le micro ondes permettent de faire des économies de restaurant, ce qui n’est pas négligeable.
Du café est proposé. Pas de thé ! Pas de plat allant au micro-​ondes nn plus… Dommage

Like everything in SF, you don’t get much for your money. This place is a good motel in terms of comfort, the rooms are clean and beds comfy.
Be prepared: The breakfast is a REAL JOKE!!! A few packaged muffins and a coffee… yeah and they call it CONTINENTAL!!!
Staff is not friendly and parking is only available if you show up early enough.
We spent $ 180 for that night, it was gay pride, we were 3 and and had booked 2 months in advance…

I really liked staying here, it was nicer than I had first anticipated, there’s free parking, very close to golden gate park, easy to spot from the road with it’s big motel sign. It’s located in an awesome area with beautiful houses and amazing Asian cuisine. Also, no crazies in the area to worry about like in some other parts of t the city. We felt very safe, oh yea, there’s a safe in each room to with a fridge and microwave. Internet is free but a little slow for streaming videos anyway. Love this place!

I was a little worried about this hotel, I’d never stayed in that area and there were some not-​so-​good reviews. The hotels where we usually stay were full.
To my relief this place was great. Small but very nice, clean, updated. The front desk clerk was really helpful and personable. He helped us call a cab, told us where we could park if their lot was full. We had a parking spot the first day but Saturday we drove to Golden Gate Park — really close by– and lost our spot but there were no meter fees after 6PM Saturday to 6 AM Monday so we were fine. There is a Keurig coffeemaker in the office so you have a choice, and individually packed sweet rolls which was fine for us.
If you are a five star hotel kind of person this isn’t the place for you, but if you are frugal with common sense this is a great place. I am reading the «bad» reviews I can’t imagine why those people said what they did.
By the way, our «regular hotels» in Union Square never even offer parking, have to park in a nearby parking garage, so I won’t complain about the parking.

Clean bathroom and room. Typical amenities: free soap, shampoo, conditioner, etc. Microwave, TV with shit channels, coffee maker (always a plus)
Allergic reaction to something in the sheets. Probably the detergent. But not confirmed. Not very comfortable pillows.
Eh. I’ll upgrade to somewhere closer to downtown. Even though I only paid ~$ 100/​night.

We just had a horrible experience. Normally we send all of our out-​of-​towners here, as it is very convenient, but never again. My mom stayed there, and they quoted her one price, and then raised it on her because «It’s the weekend, take it or leave it.» Bait-​and-​switch? Just quote the real price, and you’ll have no problems, but they obviously can’t do that here. I do not recommend you stay here, the only reason it sells out, is because there are very few reasonably priced accommodations in San Francisco. Be wary of the prices if you do stay here.

Long, terrible, anger-​filled, story cut short:
1. They ‘lost’ my elderly father’s reservation, saying he called to cancel, which he did not. Called me a ‘liar’ for implying there was an error. City booked, no-​place else to stay.
2. After hours of back and forth he found another hotel room across the city ‘three bedroom suite’. It was not, it was a one room motel room with torn carpet and a dirty bedspread-​up a flight of stairs my father wouldn’t be able to walk up.
3. Quoted my Mother-​In-​Law a price over the phone months prior to her reservation. Upon arrival he charged her more saying ‘this is the price, everything’s booked, take it or leave it.’ Again saying it was our mistake for thinking the quoted price would remain true.
My point being is be careful. Confirm everything if you’re going to stay here, don’t bother getting anything in writing as they won’t look at it anyway.

Horrible experience. The manager is a liar and a thief. Quoted one rate and charged another. Overbooked motel and refused to honor the reservation. The rooms we did get were dirty, noisy and smelled terrible. Lots of dead bugs inside room. Do not even considering staying here

After reading all the positive reviews on TripAdvisor, we decided to choose this place for our little anniversary vacation in the City. The rate was very reasonable given the provided amenities and location. We were excited, and I am happy to say that our experience was wonderful in every way. The proprietor is a very sweet man, and has lots of local information. We were pleased to be able to check in early, and our room was spotless.
The king size bed was soft and yet nice and firm. Gotta love them pillow tops! We slept like logs. There can be some momentary street noise when the bus goes by, but we use earplugs as we both snore, so we weren’t bothered at all. Although small, the bathroom had beautiful marble tiling and an excellent shower. We especially appreciated having a safe in the closet in which we could store valuables. You can set your own combination!
The packaged muffins for breakfast are fine, but the one-​cup-​at-​a-​time Keurig coffee machine was a nice luxury. You could choose a smaller brew size based on your preference to make your cup richer! We’re not coffee snobs, but we like a strong cup as opposed to the bland, tasteless fare one often encounters. After we checked out, the proprietor helped my wife back our car out of the tiny parking lot. Everything was great, and the Geary Parkway Motel definitely deserves its TripAdvisor award for 2014!

Was looking for a cheaper hotel in SF and found this place. Took a chance since it was less than a mile from the California Academy of Science. We checked in and was greeted by a nice friendly man working there. Took us up too the room and showed us. Was surprised. Was a great room. Was small but perfect for what we needed a place to sleep and get ready. Very comfy beds. Will come back again when we hit the city. Definitely will tell family to go there in future. Only bad thing was parking lot. If you have a big car or truck it’s not easy. Parking spots are small

This place is great! Newly remodeled, very friendly, close to the De Young, affordable, and Free Wifi!

Took a chance and stayed here because the location was so convenient to my 7:30 am appointment.
Very clean with comfy beds and pillows — working microwave and fridge — updated (and did I say CLEAN) bathroom.
Man at the desk was very polite and helpful.
We’ll definitely stay here again. Location — price — clean and comfy,

Pros: Clean. Conveniently located.
Cons: The absolute worst customer service. Abominable.
I’ll never return.

Won’t make this too long of a rant, but to sum it up, after a mix-​up at check-​in, we had a very rude encounter with the person at the desk. We decided to let them cool off a bit, and we probably needed to as well, so we went out to get some food and decide if we wanted to keep the room.
After some deliberation, we decided to keep the room, and we called to let them know this. They then rudely informed us that we would not be allowed to check in after 7PM. At this point it would have taken a miracle to get there by 7PM, so they basically were fine with charging us and giving the room to someone else. It was a Thursday night so I doubt they would have been able to fill the room anyway! By divine intervention and hours on the phone with customer service, we were able to get the reservation cancelled by a third party.
We ended up having to crash at the poor Bride & Groom’s apartment whose wedding we were in town for and was just days away. All that said, I would not want to deal with the management here. They refused to budge on anything and could have cared less what happened to us. Beware!

I made a reservation here for a friend who was coming to visit from China. This place looked affordable and was close to my apartment. They did not have the reservation though I spent fifteen minutes spelling out my name and giving all of my information over the phone. I am absolutely furious and the front desk person was unapologetic for the inconvenience.
DO NOT BOOK at this motel. This place deserves negative stars for this.

I’m no scaredy-​cat but the neighborhood that houses the Geary Parkway Motel is Sketchville, not Richmond.
Any motel with doors that open onto a busy street often have that vibe, that kick-​in-​your-​door-​at-​2am-​looking for my girlfriend/​dealer/​baby daddy action. Inside the rooms are fine, clean and equipped with the necessary tools to survive your stay.
The office staff is kind and they obviously work hard at keeping up the place. Parking is a gamble but both nights I stayed I scored a coveted park spot. Buses are accessible on every corner and there are bars and restaurants every few inches.
Sure there is noise, but even posh hotels have that issue. Stay here with eyes open, deadbolt on and you’ll be fine.

San Francisco is rife with expensive lodging, so I hesitate to give this one away as I might never be able to get a room in the future.
This is a small, family-​owned motel of about 15+ non-​smoking rooms located in one of the normal/​non-​touristy areas of the city. Geary street is a main way for local busses and you are in walking distance of a number of local cafes and shops.
Our room was spotlessly clean, the shower stall and bathroom fixtures are new, beds firm and there is free high speed internet and HBO. Their free continental breakfast is pretty basic with packaged pastry, but the coffee is gourmet Green Valley Coffee Company pods that produce rich flavorful brews of your choice.
Parking is within their horseshoe enclosure and can be a tight adventure not only parking, but in backing out on to Geary Street. But it can be done as there is a stop light down from the motel, giving you a no-​traffic opportunity.
Price? Under $ 100 per night… and in SF! Call or go to their web site to book. It is well worth it.
