We were extremely happy with Marin Motel. We drove to San Francisco and were very happy to have found a place with a secure garage ... a garage specific to our unit. Note that only standard sedans or smaller would fit in the garage. Our Prius fit just right. The location is great ... an easy walk to a beach with an excellent view of the bridge; an easy walk to the Presidio and Palace of the arts. Just one block over were many restaurants and a grocery, and a Walgreens on the corner.
Lombard is loud (our unit faced Lombard) but we became accustomed to it quickly. I slept very well. The traffic noise settles down around 11:00 and doesn't start up until 7:30 or 8:00 AM. My son used the back bedroom facing the courtyard. It was small, snug, but quiet and comfortable.
Brian, the host, was great, helpful, communicative, and humorous. All staff were very helpful.
We would be very happy to stay at Marin Motel, again. Especially if you have a car to park, this motel is an excellent option.
One caveat ... the steps up to the apartment were steep and could be a challenge for some.
Thanks for everything, Brian!
