Lombard Plaza Motel San Francisco

Affordable San Francisco stay in the Marina District

Set on bustling Lombard Street in San Francisco’s Marina District, Lombard Plaza Motel offers straightforward comfort with the kind of convenience travelers need in this lively city. The motel’s exterior keeps the classic look of roadside stays, while inside, rooms are equipped with essentials such as microwaves, refrigerators, coffee makers, and private bathrooms. Wi-Fi is complimentary, and limited free parking is available on-site—an underrated perk in a city where parking can feel like striking gold.

The property keeps things simple but functional. Guestrooms are clean, uncluttered, and non-smoking, with options ranging from king rooms to larger family-style layouts. Daily housekeeping is provided, and the 24-hour front desk ensures arrivals and departures are managed smoothly at any hour. While there’s no on-site dining, the surrounding neighborhood makes up for it with cafés, bakeries, and restaurants serving everything from fresh seafood to late-night snacks within a few blocks.

Travelers with accessibility in mind should note that rooms are accessible only by stairs, as the motel does not feature an elevator. For those who prefer ground-level access, select street-level rooms are available. Pets are not permitted, keeping the property geared toward a quieter, no-frills lodging experience.

From here, iconic San Francisco sights unfold in every direction. The Palace of Fine Arts is less than a mile away, Fisherman’s Wharf and Ghirardelli Square are close enough for an evening stroll, and the Golden Gate Bridge looms just a short drive north. Whether it’s a quick city break or a longer exploration, Lombard Plaza Motel positions guests at the gateway of both the Marina District and wider San Francisco.
