Comfort, cleanliness & the perfect location”

This was our second stay with the Inn on Broadway & it was a delightful as the last time. While this is definitely not the right choice for travelers seeking luxury, it has everything else to recommend it. You will find yourselves close enough to everything you might want to visit in San Francisco, but not surrounded by other tourists & crowds. There are plenty of food options nearby & you're only a bus ride away from everything else. If the two rooms we've had are anything to go by, the King size bedrooms are spacious, clean, come equipped with a microwave & small refrigerator for your convenience. Free WiFi is also included with your room, though it can be a bit temperamental. Even so, it's preferable to the Union Square hotels that charge upwards of $15 a day for the "privilege" of having internet access in your room. The staff at Inn on Broadway were friendly, professional & attentive. In short, everything one might wish. There simply is no good reason to stay elsewhere, unless you plan to spend lots of time being pampered by your hotel...and if that's the case? I'd suggest a spa vacation anyway.

Great for the price”

we had a very nice stay at broadway inn. the location is absolutely perfect. there is a bus stop right on the corner that connects to anywhere you could want to go. it was great to park in the underground lot (for free!) and not have to worry about the car all weekend. the bed sheets weren't the cleanest so we took off the bedspread. the door was a little worn down so you had to make sure it closed properly. i would definitely return to broadway inn.

perfectly adequate accommodations and nice staff”

the inn on broadway is in a nice location for visiting sf. the bus/cable cars, etc are all easily accessed. the staff is nice, rooms are clean and it's not as noisy as you would expect being right on van ness. the air conditioners helped with that. i would stay there again.

Underrated Hotel ”

My stay at the Inn on Broadway was exceptional because I wasn't expecting anything fancy. Friendly staff from check-in to check-out, the guy) who checked us in was perfect. He was courteous and helped us figured what areas to visit and avoid. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The only complaints that I could have are that rooms near the street (Van Ness) are extremely noisy. The noise of the traffic can be heard throughout the room, so if you are not a heavy sleeper in can be a problem. Lastly, the internet was extremely slow on the 3rd floor, not sure if it was due to the distance of my room, but it could use some sort of improvement.

Great location and well maintained rooms”

Looks can be deceiving. The Inn on Broadway has been around for many decades and you could be forgiven for thinking from the outside that perhaps it might not be what you were looking for. I was happy to note however that while the outside of the complex is not as impressive as some of the other establishments in the area (i.e. Castle Inn). The rooms have been quite nicely refurbished. I was allocated a nice room on the 3rd floor that, had the occupant wanted, could have quite easily slept four people. It had a new Samsung flat screen, fridge and coffee facilities. While smaller, the bathroom has both a bath and shower and was sufficient for my requirements. For a smaller establishment with only one person on the desk the staff were quite helpful if not overly friendly. My only issue was with the charge rates for 1 800 toll free numbers. As an ex-hotlier I am aware that the hotel incurs no cost for these calls however here they elect to charge 50c flag fall (not uncommon) and a timed portion as well (not common) which means that any calls I made with my calling card turned out to be more expensive than the card itself.

Good budget hotel with FREE parking”

Decent budget hotel there was free wifi and free parking, so not a bad place for the price. Centrally located in San Francisco so it is a good spot if you are going to explore the entire city. Close to lots of eateries and stores. There are a few crazies around the area at night time, but its the city so it was expected.

Great location”

great location, right in the central of chinatown. within walking distance to everywhere...the staff at the front desk was very friendly and informative. we got all information related to transportation and tourist attraction from them. also, the price is very reasonable for such a good place to stay in san francisco.

great location, friendly staff”

it is located in the center of downtown, most of the attraction places are within 2 miles from this hotel. an excellent place to live in if you are going to have a sight seeing tour in San Francisco. room was clean, and looks new. the only pros is there's not enough place in the car park.

great location, clean room, affordable”

Pros: The location is prime. Lot's of nightlife down Polk for blocks in either direction. Start with Nick's on Broadway and Polk. Lots of shops, restaurants, bars, etc to satisfy all your needs. Easy enough to get around to other parts of the city. Safe, clean and hip. The room was very clean. Checked thoroughly for bed bugs and was completely satisfied that there weren't any. Mattress, linens and towels were adequate. Room stayed cool with ac and it was not too loud. All in all, it was just fine, not dumpy at all. This hotel was half priced from equivalent hotels around the city. When I return to SF, I will stay here again because it really is a steal. FREE PARKING!!! Cons: The maid comes in even if you put up do not disturb sign. I stayed 3 nights and did not need new towels or sheets. The maid came in anyways. Not awful, but I dont like strangers near my personal belongings. Truly can not name another con. The hotel is across the street from a beautiful stone cathedral so you are immediately drawn into SF's beauty at your first step out the hotel room. Stay here if you like a true bargain and hidden gem.

Great location in the heart of SF”

We stay at Inn on Broadway for 6 days in November. We encounter some problem with the reservation made on Agoda, but the front desk sort it out just fine. The room is spacious with private toilet in-unit. However, there is a strange smell to the room, something like a perfume - but nothing serious here. The overall condition of the premise is old. The tiles in toilet began to break down, and the carpet began to stay off the ground. But other than that - it is simply a bliss. The location is close to public transportation, with several restaurant and convenience store nearby. It is possible to walk to places like ChinaTown or Lombard Street - but it is a little far.

Very comfortable and affordable”

The stay was great! The rooms were clean, modern, and comfortable. Public transportation was right out the front door and easy to access. It was very centrally located to all the sights and scenes, restaurants and shops, and activities in San Francisco. Our only complaint was the elevator. This needs to be repaired or updated. It was scary and noisy but it worked okay!

comfortable”

The inn on Broadway is a nice place to stay as it is close to fishermans warf and union square, however, the rooms, despite being big are rather gloomy and there were visible burns in my comforter. However, it was a cheap room and for two nights a rather nice place to live. Parking is maddening, the carpark is always full and since the hotel is located right on the edge of a steep hill, it can be difficult to maneuver the parking.

fantastic”

Great value hotel in the perfect location to explore San Francisco. King size bed was very comfortable and cleaning was first rate. Only con was some noise from the room above.

A good base for viewing the sights of San Franciso”

We enjoyed our stay in San Francisco with a short walk to take the trolly down to Fisherman' Wharf. I expected the room to be noisy, as it was on the street side, but was surprised that city noise didn't bother us. The motel's location on Highway 101 makes it super easy to find and conviewnt to leave if you are heading down that highway like we were.

Clean and good-sized room, great location.”

We checked in late in the evening and were assigned Rm#2, which was near the street. I had concerns about the noise but surprisingly, inside the room, we could hardly hear street noises and we all slept well during our stay. The room was clean and was quite spacious. It had a fridge, microwave and a coffeemaker, all of which I found useful. Bus stop right across the street. My only minor negative comment is the very small bathroom area. The towel rack (which is well stocked with different-sized towels)is located above the toilet and I was always afraid that some of the towels would fall directly into the toilet! The tiny closet also could use a little air freshener. All in all, I was pleased with my stay and I would recommend it to anyone seeking accomodations in San Francisco.

great inn at central location”

we enjoyed our stay at the inn on broadway due to the free parking in their own car park and friendly staff. the room is equiped with all you need and walking distance to fisherman's wharf and cable cars.

Walking distance to lots of attractions”

I really enjoyed my stay of 9 days here and will stay again. Other patrons can be a little noisy on the weekend, but I only felt the need to complain once and it was taken care of promptly. My room was large, clean and comfortable with a large communal balcony that overlooked Van Ness and Broadway. If the sound of busy traffic annoys you ask for a room right up the back. My room overlooked the intersection but I loved it and had no trouble sleeping. I loved standing on the balcony admiring the architecture and watching the world go by. The women who cleaned the rooms were very friendly and helpful. I loved that there was parking as I did a lot of walking and had days when I didn't need a car.

Pleasant convenient and Clean”

The stay was great. When you first arrive you will sink inside a little. But what can one expect for such a low price. You will then be pleasantly surprised that despite the doors to your rooms needed stripping down and new varnish and the reception room in need of a Huge cleanup....the Rooms are tidy clean and EVERYthing you need for an exceptional say in San Fran. The plus in the Family diner downstairs. Peter D's cafe is awesome! I booked with Agoda for 3 nights. Price excellent! Parking is included. A very pleasant stay.

Excellent deal!”

If you're looking for a great deal for a short stay in San Francisco look no further. The motel is very conveniently located in de city, it has free parking (which can be a hassle finding in S.F.) and the prices are very proper. Clean rooms and helpful staff.

Great location, clean room and helpful staff ”

We were very happy with our stay at the Inn on Broadway.
