Why didn't I discover the Marina Inn decades ago?! It's absolutely charming, and the location is fantastic. First the delightful flower-bedecked courtyard, then the lovely room with full kitchen. It's well-updated (e.g. bathroom), but with plenty of things left intact to honor the original charm of the 1930s. Courtyard rooms have some traffic noise from Lombard St, but it's not bad. Stay here!
