We love staying at the Columbus Inn, a hidden gem in SF! Location couldn't be better, making restaurants walkable. Staff is wonderful and the rooms are big, comfy and very clean. We stay here every time in SF!

Clean room, good location with a good price. Parking was safe. Even though it’s next to a jazz club that I wish we could have enjoyed, the noise was not intrusive. Would book this again. It’s a nice place if you’re not looking for extra amenities like a pool or breakfast.

Might be dated looking but very clean and not foul smelling. Staff is super helpful and accommodating. One thing that could be possibly improved is the shower water pressure.

Great Room, Staff, and Location

Great staff. Fantastic free parking. Clean room. Just a few short blocks to Fishermans Wharf and Ghirardelli square. Right by all of the public transporation like the bus and the cable car. If we were going somewhere else besides on those routes, everything was just a ahort Waymo or Uber away. Only one very small thing was our room didn't have a mini fridge.

We went to Bimbos for a concert so chose this for the location. Its basic. Decent for the price. Probably could use a renovation. The plus is the parking and the minus is the overall condition. The price was right for this minus so it equals out.

Overnighter eating our way thru No. Beach

My husband and I stay here every time we come to the city for an overnighter in North Beach. We have never been disappointed. The free parking is a Hugh plus and the location is perfect.

Family stay in July

We stayed for 2 nights in July. Whilst the hotel is a little worn in places it really is an excellent place to stay. The staff are fantastic, the location is excellent and they have amazingly comfortable beds. Also prices are good, especially given the local hotel pricing.
