Fantastic choice!

One of the best stays I had while I traveled the west coast was at the Castle Inn. Situated in a very good location with the Lombard street, Fisherman's Wharf and other attraction pretty close by. The rates were amazingly low and yet the rooms were very well kept which made our stay extremely comfortable. The best part though for me was the extremely friendly and helpful guy at the front desk. Made our stay even better with his helpful suggestions. I'd recommend Castle Inn to anyone who is looking for a comfortable place to stay which offers great rates :)

No Problems

Great location and appreciated the parking. A little dated from chain hotels but in comparison price was right. I you spend a lot of time in your room it's not for you. We could easily walk to Wharf, grocery, and coffee shop.

Anniversary Trip

this was a very good hotel in a great location for us for the price!! we rented a car as we planned on traveling the surrounding area of san fran during our stay so finding this hotel with FREE parking was a sell for us! parking is more for smaller vehicles so keep that in mind. the hotel is in good condition but nothing fancy; if you're looking for something casual where you can rest and have another adventure the next day, this is a good place. breakfast there is really nothing but there is a small diner across the street that my husband loved (Peter D's) - try it. walking distance to a lot from this hotel.

CASTLE INN

Would not stay there again! A Motel 6 would be an improvement, the carpet was torn, mattress was extremely lumpy, very stark room. It was not the best kept secret, believe me. The couple checking us in was gross, arguing, very overweight, etc. The breakfast wss a joke. Very overated.

Great Location

Our hotel was in a great spot. It was quiet and within walking distance to a lot of restuarants and coffee shops. It was near bus routes needed to travel the city. The room was clean and a good size.

Great location! Nice clean room!

This was one of the most reasonable hotels in San Fran so I was a bit skeptical of the area as a tourist. It was GREAT! We were in the middle of the city and walking distance to many bars and restaurants. There was parking as well. [...] was extremely helpful and friendly at the front desk. I highly recommend this hotel to other tourists.

Good

I very much enjoyed my stay at the castle inn. I was on vacation and was spending most of my time around the city and surrounding areas so did not spend much time at the hotel except to sleep. This was perfect because the hotel has free parking which is amazing for this city. Everyone at the hotel was very nice and accomadated us well. It is also at a vey good location right off van ness which we used as our main road to get around and I is one of the main roads in the city. I would recomendthos hotel and will definatly stay there when I returnto San Francisco.

Great location with helpful staff

Hotel was a basic, no frills 2-star as expected. Location was excellent, I walked all over the city from here. Parking was secure and safe -- there is an alarm anytime anyone enters, and cameras feeding into the motel's front desk. Parking was a bit tight, but I was able to guide a Dodge Grand Caravan in without incident. Staff was very helpful, and identified a number of things for me to do during my SF stay.
