The location of this hotel is the only thing i liked about the place. Firstly the room we had just reeked of cigarette smoke even after spraying half a can of deoderant around. Second the hotel is old and has been done up (if you could say that) very cheaply. Third the breakfast was okay but they ran out of... more

ok hotel for one night within walking distance of pier 39. carpets could do with a clean, but everything else ok. guy on front desk very helpful as our hire car was broken into whilst in the underground carpark fortunately nothing taken and car was replaced with new one, but helpful staff helped us. more

Not easy to find a reasonable priced hotel with private parking and good location in SF, but the Buena Vista Motor Inn was quite comfortable. Parking lot is not that big, but we were able to park the car, they have small and bigger parking spaces. Located on Lombard Street, this hotel is in walking distance of Fishermans Wharf, trolley... more

We stayed here end of June beginning of July. Location is good, but the hotel needs some work. Despite all buildings meant to be smoke free the stairs stunk of smoke (not from the fires). No problems with bugs and we did stay in 2 different rooms, as we had gone to Yosemite for a few days as well. The... more

We stayed at the BV some years ago, and honestly forgot about it while getting caught up in the frenzy of trying to find a deal at a 4* SF hotel closer to the Embarcadero. Well, all was either sold out, OR wanting higher bids..when we remembered the BV! Still mostly the same, BUT now they have the continental bkfast!!... more

Difficult to know what to say, I must say I had read the reviews from earlier in the year before travelling, although they were written after I had booked 7 nights here, so I was a bit unsure as to what to expect We knew it wasn't going to be 5 star accommodation, but our rooms were faultless. Cleaned everyday,... more

I spent there 3 nights in the begining of May, nice hotel, just few block uphill to famous Lombard street, the same walking distance to Fisherman Wharf, rooms were cleaned, front staff very polite and helpful. Free access to computer in a lobby. Breakfast maybe not interesting (just donats and crossaints), but wake up coffee is there, and free covered... more

The buena vista has mixed but consistent reviews. Firstly it is NOT the Marriott and no they do not do english breakfast. However this is a tidy convenient motel which you should use as a B and B. There is nothing else in the hotel except reasonably clean rooms. Breakfast is included but consists of croissant, other pastries. orange juice,tea... more

The hotel lobby needs a major cleaning and fix-up. Booked a great rate through Expedia and had no problems. The rooms are older but clean. There were some ants in the room. The location was great. more
