Location Highlights

Buena Vista Motor Inn is in Ghirardelli Square, where the world-famous Ghirardelli Chocolate Factory is located. It is walkable to Ghirardelli Square, near Pier 39 (1 km), and a cable car ride (1 km). The hotel is also near Mechanical Museum (2 km), Cable Car Museum (2.5 km), Chinatown (2.5 km), Coit Tower (2 km), Ferry Building (3 km), and Alcatraz Island (3 km).

Services Provided

The property provides complimentary parking, Wi-Fi, and a 24-hour front desk. Business travelers have access to a comfortable work desk and chair. The hotel also provides tour services. Accessible guest rooms are available for individuals with disabilities. Walkways are free of any objects that pose a hazard to persons with low vision.

“The Inn's location works nicely; a brisk walk gets you to the Wharf, and buses stop right outside for further jaunts. I'm particularly struck by the rooftop breakfast spot-a rare find offering Golden Gate views, and the free parking is gold in a city where that perk is uncommon. Though rooms might feel snug for some, the staff consistently earns praise for being genuinely helpful.”
