Days Inn San Francisco At The Beach

We had a very pleasant stay over the weekend. Although we live in the Bay Area, we went to a party nearby and wanted to avoid a late night drive back home. The low price made this the perfect option. The room and bathroom were spotless. The bed was very comfortable and appeared to be new as was the bedding. It had a small refer, microwave and a small table with two chairs. The breakfast was modest, but hot coffee, juice, English muffin, packaged sweet roll and a fresh orange filled the bill. It is across from the zoo and just a few blocks to the beach. We took a walk to watch the sunset and another in the morning. There is a small pizza parlor that serves beer, a corner market and a very popular coffee shop on the block. There is underground parking. The staff, both evening and morning were very pleasant. And best of all, it was as quite as I could hope for. Would stay there again.

I would give this place a zero star if I can. I came here with a friend and was unaware of how unsanitary this establishment was. We stayed for one night. When we left we both had bite marks all over our body. I was really upset so I called back the number on Unilocal to address the issue. Customer care emailed me an apology and told me I would receive a call from the supervisor of that location. When the woman called me she repeatedly called me a liar so I sent pictures to her personal phone. After that she still called me a liar. I have not heard from them since. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!!! I received another call from the women I spoke to. She was screaming and yelling. She did not try to diffuse the situation. Horrible customer service. On top of the all the bed bug bites she charged my credit card another $ 250 dollars, not including what I already paid for the disgusting room. I paid $ 375. Again I repeat DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!!!

I have no complaints. My room was clean, bed was super comfortable. Bathroom was clean. It’s literally across from the Zoo and two blocks from the Beach. Ocean Beach is no big deal and there is nothing to do in the surrounding areas BUT if you love the beach, this won’t matter. There is a liquor store at the corner of the hotel that sell great sandwiches. And did pass by a café at the other side. Parking is free and might be tight for big cars but it works out. The have coffee, juice and pastries for breakfast. Will go back.

HELL NAW! this is advertised as a hotel and it is for sure a motel. Weird smells, sketchy people outside, and check in behind glass. We took a loss and paid for a room at another hotel.
DON’T GO unless you dare… They put us in a handicap rom off a ramp by some unknown door. Not OK!

Chose this hotel because it was close to the zoo and the beach plus was cheaper compared to many of the hotels in San Francisco. The room was clean and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Parking was tight, but it was also free. The front desk lady wasn’t especially friendly, but checkin was quick and easy. The only disappointment was the continental breakfast as it only included toast and a few pastries. I would have liked to have had some hot food for what we paid for breakfast.

Nothing wrong with this place. The room was nice and clean. The manager wasn’t the most bubbly person but she served her purpose. Loved the big shower head! (We stayed in the room above the lobby and the king bed was great) Also, there was an ad for a pizza place which was convenient. (not the one next door)

This place is a no frills hotel. It is not bad by any means, but if little things bother you, find another place to stay. I stayed here off and on for nearly a month over the last 6 months and I had no problems whatsoever. The manager Dee was friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and served their purpose. The location is very convenient for most city activities, and although the parking is awkwardly small, it’s included in the price of the room.
Again, this is not the Ritz, BUT it sure as hell is NOT a downtown by-​the-​hour hooker crash pad.

I have stayed here on numerous occasions and I absolutely love this place! It is family owned and operated and my husband and I are always made to feel like family here. It is comfortable and clean and we have never had a problem that the management could not resolve. It’s close proximity to public transit is a definite plus! I highly recommend this hotel to all!

I stayed once before, and it was o.k. A little overpriced. The next time I stayed, I was horribly bit by either bed bugs or fleas. I woke up with bites all up and down my legs and torso. I had been dreaming I was itchy and woke up to it. I took pictures and then I went to the front desk. The lady was rude. She told me if I came another time she’d consider giving me a discount. Like I would EVER go to that place again. She didn’t seem apologetic, nor did she seem to believe me. It’s been a horrible experience and I don’t EVER recommend going there. Now, the little eatery next to it – AWESOME.

Terrible. Lady at the front desk was rude. Soap didn’t work, didn’t seem very clean, it was one of the worst hotels I’ve ever stayed at for 175 dollars a night. Complete rip off. Don’t do it, especially if your young because the lady at the front desk with profile you and be completely rude.

I made a reservation at this Days Inn several weeks in advance and arrived in the evening as scheduled. Upon trying to check-​in, we were told that it was a very busy weekend in San Francisco and that they had no rooms available. It didn’t matter that we had a reservation. I suppose that they didn’t think that the reservation obligated them in anyway, if it turned out that they could get more for the room due to unanticipated demand. It was quite inconvenient for us. The staff was not helpful in locating an alternative place to stay. We found a dumpy room that night near the Tenderioin at three times the price. Then stayed farther away the following nights.
We had stayed here several times in the past, as it is located in the Sunset District, near where we needed to be. There were problems such a door that didn’t lock properly, plumbing issues, broken stuff, slightly unclean, noise and rude staff, but the price was tolerable, so we came back. We have been to San Francisco many times since the not honoring a reservation incident, but we won’t stay at Days Inn.

RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN! made reservation online for a king bed and had a confirmation number for the king bed. In speaking with the Manager they informed me no the reservation was for a queen bed and if I wanted the king bed I had to pay additional ten dollars a night. Its not much but the point is I had a confirmation with a set price already for the king bed. I forwarded my confirmation email to the manager who still argued that it said no such thing BUT its very clearly written in the conf. I contacted the third party site who i made reservations through and they also confirmed it was for the king bed at the set price I had agreed to. They called the manager at the hotel to go over. I ended up canceling my reservation and not allowing them to bill my credit card as I didn’t trust them billing the correct amount. IF YOUR NOT GOING TO HONOR THE RATES YOU ADVERTISE THEN DONT ADVERTISE THEM! YOU SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED DAYS INN! RIDICULOUS TO GO THROUGH THIS OVER SUCH A LITTLE AMOUNT OF MONEY. I WOULD RATHER PAY DOUBLE THE PRICE TO GOOD HOTEL THAT HONORS THE RESERVATION ROOM AND RATE.

Would not stay here again! We were i town for a visit to SF State and this place was close and reasonable. Prior to this visit we have always stayed in town. Rate was about $ 200 less than we usually pay. That should have been a red flag to begin with, but we wanted to stay close to the school.
Room VERY NOISY. Had to unplug the fridge, it rattled so much. Could hear all the plumbing in the near by rooms, in addition to doors slamming and coming and going of others all night.
First night — domestic violence — across the hall! Screaming, slamming against the walls and yelling. Called the front desk and informed them to call police. Not done… The next night on the way in I asked at the front desk if they had checked out because I would not go through another night of violence. I was informed the man was gone. Funny how he was walking in the room as we returned,.
Maid service poor. No clean glasses provided for the second night, coffee not restocked, no wash clothes or toiletries restocked.
You know it’s bad when I check return flights to see if we could escape this place a day early. I LOVE San Francisco but will NEVER stay here again. As one reviewer said it’s a step up from sleeping in your car, I totally agree.

I stayed here last weekend and I thought it was a decent place for the money. I was looking for a place to stay that was affordable and while I’d rather stay in the city, this place was $ 100 a night versus the $ 150+ for anything similar in the downtown area. It was also close to friends who live at SFSU.
For anyone looking at staying here, you have very good access to the L Muni train that will take you right to Embarcadero center in downtown SF. When I left my last work appointment and planned to take a cab, I decided to check google to see if I could take a train at least halfway. I was surprised to see that the last stop on the L train was 0.1 Miles away from the final stop. The train will take you about 40 minutes to get to downtown SF and costs $ 2 each way. I mention this because you can save a lot of money not renting a car or an expensive hotel in downtown SF by staying here.
The coffee shop next door has great sandwiches. I had a turkey pesto sandwich there and a coffee. The place was busy both times I was there and they get a 4 star review themselves. I didn’t notice anything open late in the area so keep that in mind. The area surrounding the motel is quiet and seemed safe. The hotel itself was a bit noisy at night with plumbing and what not (not the occupants fault). But it wasn’t a nuisance to me by any means. Just an observation.
At any rate, this place met my needs and while it wasn’t the greatest place, the room was adequate and had everything I needed. The room is large and had a fridge in it which could come in handy for a longer stay. The workers there were friendly to me and I didn’t get any bad vibes about the place. I was actually surprised to see the negative reviews on here because I booked the room based on positive reviews on I found on one of the travel sites. I think I agree more with what I read there than what I’m reading here but some of the reviews on here appear to from an era when there was different management.

Where’s the cereal and milk for breakfast? No cow here. Moooo! Of all the Days Inn I’ve stayed, this is the worst. Noisy rooms, you can hear every other room flush their toilets. Footsteps from rooms next door, above you etc. Free whatever you call it breakfast is available at the hallway, squeeze right in, buddy. One at a time only. (Fire Hazzard) calling SF Fire Department!!!

Just not a great place by any stretch. Pictures on Internet were great, must have been taken years ago. Front desk was nice, even had a young man carry my bag up the stairs when I said it was going to be difficult. Had to have a room quickly to get to hospital. Appears to fill up quickly as there were no rooms left after I booked, across from zoo and close to beach is the draw. Will do for 1 nite, will not return…

The room wasn’t dirty, exactly, but it wasn’t entirely clean either. Hard to explain this. I guess it just had a dirty appearance because it was so worn down.
The location was ridiculous — basically far removed from EVERYTHING. The only places to eat when we checked in were a too-​greasy pizzeria and a run-​down deli with suspicous looking characters hanging out in front. The complimentary breakfast was a joke — they don’t even provide anywhere to sit, you have to take it up to your room (no elevator).
The layout was just weird, and not in a good way. Bizarrely, there is no front entrance, the only way into the hotel is to climb the parking lot driveway (which seemed pretty unsafe to me). In the room, you get a sink — but no sink in the bathroom. Who ever heard of a bathroom without a sink? Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that ANYWHERE, hotel or otherwise.
The only two things that you can say in this place’s favor is that for just ONE night, it’s not a terrible experience, and the front desk staff (despite the complaints in some of the other reviews) was very helpful and understanding when we insisted on cancelling the rest of our stay. We moved to the Hyatt House in Emeryville. Remember when I said that the Days Inn is removed from everything? Well, we moved into a hotel in a DIFFERENT CITY and the Hyatt House was still closer to the heart of downtown San Francisco. Five minutes closer, to be exact, than the outskirts known as the Days Inn.

This place is absolutely NASTY! After checking in and signing the «$ 250 I will not smoke in the non smoking room» form, I went to the room and immediately smelled stale cigarette smoke mixed with stale methamphetamine smoke! I went back to the front desk and told them that I didn’t want the room because it smelled horrible. I was then told, «we are full, I can refund your money.» I wanted a refund. The clerk then said that I had reserved a smoking room even though I had not.
So, if you like to smoke meth and cigarettes, this place is a five star place for YOU! If not, then stay away!

Does Days Inn Corporate even know about this Sloat Boulevard location and the condition it is in and the rude office staff and awful houskeeping people? They should. This place is ruining their name’s reputation.
The room smelled, the hallways smelled, there were not nearly enough electrical outlets (I’m just talking blow dryer and cell phone, folks.), the continental breakfast was a JOKE. The towels stunk, and the room was very darkly lit.
The office guy (mgr?) actually yelled at my husband when he asked about parking.
My husband and I drove across the country to NY and stayed in various Super 8’s, Red Roof Inns, LaQuinta, Days Inn’s and various Best Western places, and all were pretty much on par and do-​able. But this place is one of the worst I have ever stayed in.
We stayed there two nights to move our daughter into USFS. That’s all this place has going for them. Location. They should be taken over by another hotel chain and cleaned up! This Days Inn on Sloat in SF does not even deserve one star.

I was here simply because I was too lazy to drive back home after a bonfire…
With that being said, the establishment did its job of keeping me out of the weather and a place to change. Though in retrospect I probably wouldn’t rate it that much higher than sleeping in my car. Suffice it to say I won’t be going back anytime soon.
