The Coventry Motor Inn

they took us at the last minute and the room was perfect. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

As someone who sticks to the major hotel chains, I’ve been branching out to more unique/​independently owned establishments. I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at The Coventry Motor Inn. My friends and I booked this hotel because of the price, location, free parking space (rare in the city), and complimentary Wi-​Fi.
We didn’t spend too much time here as we were on a mission to see San Francisco, but the time we did spend in the room was pleasant. The room was well sized and the bed was SUPER comfortable (kind of like a Tempur-​Pedic). Down the block, there’s a bar/​restaurant which was packed at 1AM. There was also pizza and wings nearby — a total win.

I give it 3 stars because the staff were really really nice, friendly, amazing, but as for our experience here in the rooms, it wasn’t 5 stars. If you’re looking for a cheap stay without all the fancy shmancy this is for you.
Also think our room was haunted because my boyfriends has scary dreams over and over again while staying here.
For business stays I wouldn’t recommend because the wifi is terrible.
It always connects and disconnects.
Also We had left a cooler in our room and when we came back there were ants everywhere in the room and all over our cooler. Don’t know where it was coming from, our windows were closed!
Great staff though!

Very clean place and the staff are all very friendly. Location is perfect, close to everything. Will stay here again if I’m back in SF.

What an awesome place! My wife and I stayed the weekend of December 11 for my birthday. The front desk was very accommodating. I requested a quiet room, and got a room in the back of the building. It faced some apartments across the alley, but wasn’t bad at all. It was very quiet. The room itself was basic, but was better than some of the more expensive hotels. The king size bed is a Tempurpedic, and was so comfortable. There is a good sized TV and free wi fi. We needed a fridge and they supplied one for 5.00 a day. The location was central the everything in San Francisco. The best part was the price. It was so affordable compared to other hotels in the area charging 3 times as much. Thank you Coventry Inn. you made us lifelong customers! Also, we stayed in room 308, and will request that room every time that we stay there.

We decided to spend the night in SF spontaneously, and we picked the place for its convenient location to the Marina District, the free parking as well as the rates (we paid a little over $ 200).
The room was clean, a bit stuffy though. I only give 2 stars mainly because neither the TV nor Internet were working (cable issues), the room towards Lombard Street was very loud and we woke up several times during the night.
To top it off, the place had a power outage at 5am, which couldn’t be fixed until much later. Since we had to leave rather early, we couldn’t take a shower (in the dark), so it was quite disappointing for over $ 200.

After 3 ½ years I finally made it back to this wonderful, beautiful city called San Francisco. I arrived late at night, it was around 11pm and check in was quick and efficient, maybe a little too quick but hey, I was tired anyways so it was okay with me.
After parking my car on site FOR FREE I used the elevator and got into my room… what I thought at first to be a down site proved to be a good thing later — I was on the first floor, but did not have a bay window with a view facing the street, I was kinda facing the next building and thus was facing some vents and a wall… but therefore my room was considerably quiet, meaning I could sleep at night.
My bed was very comfy, I like it when the mattress is a bit more firm. Other reviews complained about the firmness, I liked it. Also, I did not have bed bugs. My sheets felt nice and clean. I can’t complain about the cleanliness either, as everything was as it should be, I think.
This hotel is within walking distance from Fishermen’s Wharf and just a few minutes away from the Golden Gate Bridge by car. There are buses nearby as well (which I didn’t use so I am not going to comment on that).
All combined, yes, I would definitely stay here again. Good, clean hotel, conveniently located /​and did I mention FREE parking?

Clean, spacious, and centrally located walking distance from lovely SF neighborhoods. Also incredibly comfortable memory foam mattresses. No frills but makes the perfect home base for a visit to the city. Fully wheelchair accessible in the ADA room.

VERY nice for the price! Staff is friendly, and very close to public transportation. I highly recommend staying there!

Liked this hotel due to free parking. Price was good especially only for one night. Hotel has very old style. Anyway, I took shower after I got up and I saw my neck area was red and itch. I thought maybe because the detergent from the towel and bed sheet? An hour later, my neck area has changed, I searched on the web and to see what’s bed bugs bites look like. Here they are. Well, you can be your own judge for your stay at this hotel.
To the manager: If you really care about your reputation, you would contact me. I still kept my evidence if you need to see it yourself, contact me and give me your email address. Check your reviews, I’m not the first person who mentioned that got bed bug bites.

Cheap, clean, and well situated. Walking distance to shops and restaurants on both Chestnut Street and Union Street. Close to major bus routes that will take you to Fisherman’s Wharf, Chinatown, the cable car, and the Bart Station. The rooms are not fancy, but are big and clean. The two negatives are the wifi and the noise. Wifi is spotty and the rooms on the street side are noisy even with the windows closed on an upper floor.

My daughter and I spent three nights here. I primarily picked this place due to the free parking, low cost and closeness to the sites. We took Über a couple of times for $ 7 to Union.
We stayed in room 214 and although it wasn’t directly facing Lombard St, we were one room off Lombard and facing Buchanan. The traffic is loud, so if you are a light sleeper, you will not want a room close to Lombard.
The rooms were clean, but floors and bedding look dated. I didn’t really care for the top cover blankets.
If you are looking for an inexpensive, free parking and in a decent neighborhood hotel, then this works.

Stayed here for a quick visit to see our daughter. Close location to her and a decent price for SF.
We had a normal king room for $ 148 a night for the weekend. Pretty cheap! The room was very clean, quiet and the bed was great! Bathroom needs to be updated and they should have a fridge in the room. On the upside, if you have a car (which we did not) they give you free parking.
Great location, very nice office staff and I would stay there again.

BEWARE BED BUGS!!!
My family came for a visit and stayed here only to take home BED BUGS in their suitcases! Had to have their entire house FUMIGATED!!! Don’t even think about it!!!

I have found my home away from home in San Francisco. After staying in everything from crappy disasters close to the Tenderloin to elegant, overpriced luxury hotels in Union Square, I can honestly say this is the first SF hotel where the positives far outweigh any minor negatives.
The unbelievably friendly customer service is what initially sold me on staying here. As I was researching where we could stay for less than $ 150 a night, I made a phone call to confirm what kind of restrictions would be placed on the free parking that was offered as we were going to need to have access to the lot a few hours before check-​in. No problem, I was told. Come as early as you wish, in fact. They even offered to get us in a room early if there was one available.
This kind of interaction continued with the entire staff for the rest of our visit. True to their word, we were able to come and go in the parking areas as freely as we wished. When a bottle opener and extra pillows were needed, they were graciously given.
The room itself was impressively spacious. I’ve paid close to $ 250 for a closet by comparison in other areas of the city. It wasn’t five-​star luxury, but who cares when the bed is super comfy, it’s clean, and you’ve got plenty of room to move around? The bathroom was very modern and nice. Plenty of hot water and a shower head that put out nice pressure. I also liked that all three windows could be opened for some fresh air, though Lombard Street traffic forced us to close up at night.
Before staying here, I wasn’t very familiar with this part of the city. Marina/​Cow Hollow is a refreshing change from the Tenderloin and even some parts of Union Square. I don’t think we had to step over one person or witness anybody urinating in front of us during the entire stay! (Though there is a liquor/​convenience store right across the street. Whether that’s a positive or a negative probably depends on why you’re here). We stayed during Easter weekend and happened upon a spring festival they were doing on Union Street just three blocks up from the hotel. With the street closed to traffic, it was easy to admire all the posh shops and cafes located up there. Or Chestnut Street just one block down has plenty to offer as well.
As others have mentioned, we did have to pay a nominal $ 5 fee to get a mini-​fridge and there’s no microwave or minibar. The furnishings are a bit dated and if you need an extra pillow or blanket, you’ll probably have to grab it from the front desk. But hey, if that’s enough to keep you away from this gem, so be it. More parking spots open for me next time!

This was a perfect hotel for us and our visit to SF Sketchfest. We wanted something clean and mostly quiet and in a good area. This met all the requirements!
We paid $ 5/​day extra for the fridge, well worth it.
A couple things I wish I would have known (not problems with the hotel, just FYI for travelers to the area)
1) Bring a few shopping bags to the area so you don’t have to pay at every store you go to.
2) Don’t bother bringing your Chromecast unless you also bring a wireless router to plug into the wired connection
3) Tons of shops and restaurants on Chestnut a couple blocks away.
It was large and clean and quiet. Ask for a room off of Lombard so you get a quiet room, too. The only noise we heard was the trash at 7:00 or so AM one day, that’s it.

Overall, I had a great experience here. I recommend it based on cleanliness, service, location and price. I give those all 5 stars. The service was knowledgeable, friendly, professional and courteous. The location is great because it is very close to public transportation, shopping, a variety of restaurants and a neighborhood corner store (which is right across the street.) Also, the price was better than most the other competitors. If I had to criticize, the room did not have a fridge or microwave, the television was a little difficult to use, and the lobby only had complimentary apples and oranges (a little variety with a banana, cereal or muffins would have been nice.)

My daughter and I stayed here last weekend before we ran the Hot Chocolate 5k. The staff was very welcoming and also suggested nice restaurants for us. Rooms were clean and tidy. For our group of friends this very centrally located, would stay there again.

I stayed here for a couple of nights, while I was taking in the sites of San Fran.
— Fast and easy check in and check out.
— Staff is very friendly and helpful with directions.
— Free parking on main level and underground.
— Free Wifi, worked well for me.
— Comfy bed and pillows.
— Great shower lots of hot water.
— No fridge, unless you ask for one at an extra charge.
— Lovely décor in rooms.
— Close to lots of cafes and restaurants.
— 20min walk to famous Lombard street tourist spot.
— 30min walk to Fisherman’s wharf area.
Comfortable and quite stay, I recommended it.

I’ve stayed here twice now. A friend selected the place several years ago when we did a road trip to the bay. So when I needed a hotel for our trip last month, I was confident in picking Coventry. The fact that they are among the least expensive options in the city made them the easy choice.
I’m happy to report that everything is still great. The people in the lobby were super friendly and helpful. Parking is free and there were plenty of spots when we checked in, but when we returned from our dinner, it was all filled up. Coventry takes care of that by allowing you to double park and leave the car keys with them.
I had forgotten that their beds are all memory foam. We had a great night’s rest. The room and bathroom were spacious and clean. If I had one quibble, I wish that the room had a fridge for our dinner leftovers. Otherwise, it was a great overnight stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to pick this place again.

Tolles Hotel in der Lombardstreet. Zimmer sauber, Safe vorhanden. Tolle Lage, Fishermans Wharf etc. Parken kostenlos, wer allerdings seinen Parkplatz aufgibt um zb. zur Golden Gate Bridge zu fahren kann Pech haben beim zurück kommen. First come First serv. Insgesamt aber Super. «Tony «an der Anmeldung sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.
Nahverkehr funktioniert in San Francisco tadellos, 2 $ für 2,5 Std Busfahrt, funktioniert bestens. (Fillmore Street Busstation 10 min) Cable Car 3 Tagespass 22 $, lohnt sich. Auf der anderen Straßenseite ist Jacks Steak, empfehlenswert Philliy Cheese Steak
