Van Ness Inn

We drive to the city yesterday (Saturday) to spend the day eat and drink and decided to get a room so we didn’t have to drive back to fremont. Everyone knows rooms in the city let alone the on the pier are outrageous amounts of money. I was reviewing rooms and seen this Inn. It’s definitely not a hotel, it’s small but it’s just what you need to avoid driving home after city drinking lol the owner is doing renovations from what I seen he is making good progress! The motel was packed with ppl from out of town. Walking distance to wharf or u can use public transportation that all over. I would recommend taking public transportation on your way back because the hills Will get you after a long day of walking :)

Don’t waste your money here.250 on a Saturday night I regret not paying the extra 50 to stay @ a nice hotel. The only nice thing about the hotel is the douvet and window coverings.
I complained to Lisa at the front desk about the water pressure being low and the room being noisy. She said OK. I also told her that the carpet was sticky and again her answer was OK.
Its a very nice neighborhood but there was a liquor store across the street at the corner and a few drunks just standing around
The room is very small. I would not recomend it for small children. the room was very hot and when the ac was on it was dusty.
The chairs were torn and furniture scuffed. The microwave didn’t really heat up.
It was loud and you could hear the car noise from the main street along with all the drunk young people staying at this motel.
Really motel 6 would have been better

1 star for location. Nothing else.
Here are the long list of cons:
— terrible furniture. It is scratched, worn out.
— our bed was a full size and we were promised a standard room. Last i checked, two queen beds = standard at all places I’ve stayed
— our room was literally next to the street and also large trash chute on the street
— the guy who works at night does not know how to drive. He called me to move my car in a tandem parking spot at 10 pm. I said I would be downstairs in a minute. When I opened my door some stranger whose car I was blocking moved my car ! He let a stranger enter my car when I told him I would be down in a min!
–breakfast was pathetic. Mostly stale tiny croissants and muffins and a few old bananas. Sugary yogurt.
— fire alarm was broken
— shower signs were off. Hot was actually cold and cold was hot.
— room smells so bad! I had to open the windows the entire time. And the windows didn’t have screens! So I felt super unsafe and felt like bugs could come in anytime.
GROSS. Do not waste your money here!!!

1 star for its prime location (minutes away from the wharf) and accessible to public transport like city bus and taxi)
1 star for the price (includes free parking, wifi, toiletries and continental breakfast)
1 star for the quick check-​in, friendliness of the front desk person
Drawbacks will be the noise coming from adjoining rooms, the buses and cars.
Windows facing the streets need to be fixed or replaced to totally closed, or you will be the next keyhole casualty.
Hot water is running despite of what I read from previous guests.
A small elevator was available for service up and down the 3 story building.

Positiv: kostenlos parken
Lage
Negativ: Alles Andere
Ganz gleich ob es Sauberkeit, Service, Einrichtung der Zimmer oder was auch immer ist; in diesem Haus gibt es nicht wirklich Etwas, das positiv auffällt. Für den verlangen Zimmerpreis darf man wirklich mehr erwarten.

My friend and I stayed here recently and we were both pleasantly surprised. The customer service was friendly although they gave us a room we didn’t ask for. That’s the reason I didn’t give 5 stars. One huge plus for us was how accessible to public transportation it is. The bed was very comfortable. We will probably stay here again.

We were a little worried because of the reviews but it was great. The location for the price is what makes it worth it. We had 6 people in a family suite. I walked to the wharf and then to Chinatown easily. My band mates waked to haight ashbury (though that is a long walk). It was clean the beds were comfortable and the staff was helpful. Good choice I’d totally stay here again.

Really enjoyed our stay at the Van Ness Inn. We are not the type to spend on a 4 star hotel… we want to enjoy the treats of the city instead. Staff very friendly, motel has been updated with a nice paint job, remodeled rooms and FREE parking. Not perfect, but we didn’t expect perfect.
We stayed in the front room (201) that had a very nice view, sights & sounds of typical San Francisco. Was able to walk to the Wharf and save $ 25+ on parking.
Great local «hole in the wall» family run diner (Chestnut Diner) across the street for an amazing seafood omelet.
THANK YOU Van Ness Inn!
We will be back!

1 star for the great location and another star for the free parking. We booked through priceline and it was the cheapest motel we found in the area. We got a room with two queen beds and the room was tiny! There was barely any place to walk. The stairs wreaked of urine and were a little scary to walk through alone. Room and bathroom were rundown and just had an overall grimy feel. Even the carpet felt grimy. Sink was also outside of the bathroom which I didn’t like, but that is just my personal preference. Toilet was clogged and I had to call the front desk to unclog it.
After visiting family that stayed at the Inn on Broadway (down the street) we cancelled our second night at Van Ness and booked at the Inn on Broadway. Best decision we made. Let’s just say my nephew said he would prefer to sleep on the floor at the Inn on Broadway than to sleep in his own bed at Van Ness.

The room was clean and spacious… Very Cute on the inside… not so much of the outside a bit messy, dirty and smelly. the great thing about this Motel is that it is close to all the main tourist attractions. The painted ladies, Lombard St and fisherman’s wharf also Coit Tower… had a Microwave and a small fridge, the bed was comfortable… overall good for what was paid. i booked through
and got a good deal.
would stay there again.

Well not the worst but it did ok in a pinch. Would I stay here again? No!
Pros– free parking, simple continental bfast, bedding and carpet not too bad. 32″ LCD, early check in. Close to everything. Micro/​fridge. Last minute the front desk guy took care of us. He was cool. Close to fishermans wharf and pier 39.
Cons– smelled a little like smoke, could use a remodel, bath small, cleaning could use a lil better. Continental breakfast was croissants and little muffins, fruit and yogurt. When you stay in a motel that has full time residents… not good! And the housekeeper had her kid with her while cleaning! Wtf?

Good hotel — booked on
. Cheap (relatively so…), great location, the room was pleasantly nice and a big bed. Fairly clean, no bed bugs.
Would stay again.

HORRIBLE FUCKING SERVICE. Got clicked on twice after going through
and being told I couldn’t cancel my room 30 minutes after I had booked. Don’t come to this ratchet ass place.
