the Marina Motel
We found this motel by chance, after running into a lot all day that were already booked. It’s like a tiny floral oasis !
We were not planning on spending the next day in San Francisco, or for that matter, in a hotel room, so this was a nice place to relax and stay for the evening before jaunting off tomorrow on new adventures.
We found the old time setting to be quite cozy! There was garage parking, and then you walk up to the second floor to get to your room.
I won’t even report what the price was, because it was so low, since it was after 6 when we arrived…I can only say it was extremely inexpensive compared to other places a few minutes closer to the wharf! It was also on a Thursday evening, which will always be lower than a weekend rate.
If you want to check it out, here’s the link for the Marina Motel. It’s been around since 1939, the website will tell you all about it, and has more pictures and information. We thought it was a very cool find! We were so jazzed about the place, we decided to stay there again when we came back through San Francisco on our last night!
