This San Francisco motel is 10 minutes' drive from Fisherman's Wharf. The motel offers free on-site parking and guest rooms with free WiFi.

The Golden Gate Bridge is 5 minutes' drive from the San Francisco Surf Motel. The Financial District is 3 miles away.

Great location, the room is spacious and very clean and the staff very friendly. There’s a free parking but I believe it’s not guaranteed you’ll have a spot if it’s full when you get there. I would highly recommend!

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    There are two essential things when staying in SanFran - free parking spot and good location. La Casa Inn has both and it's also really good value for money! You can tell that the hotel is renovated and new. We felt safe here and it was also walking distance from famous SF spots - and if you do not want to walk, you can make it yourself easier with scooters (of course, drive responsibly on the road) which were always nearby.

    A little dated, but fine motel for one night. Located close (walking distance) to sights such as the crooked lombard street & Pier 39. Golden gate bridge is a short drive. Staff was friendly and helpfull. So if you are looking for a basic motel at a good location, with enough free parking space, then you this place will meet your needs.

    The motel is a standard motor lodge type of motel. It's not fancy, but it is right in the Marina and includes free parking, which was a top priority for us as we were traveling by car. Our king room was comfortable and had a microwave and refrigerator. It wasn't luxurious, but it was clean and seems to have been refurbished within the past few years. We loved being walking distance to Chestnut Street and Union Street with all the shops and restaurants.
