AlexanderGermanyTop Lage mit Parkmöglichkeit
Sehr gute Lage in San Francisco. Fishermans Warf ist zu Fuß erreichbar. Garage ist direkt im Hotel.
Ana BelénSpainUbicación ideal para cerca del Pier 39
La ubicación del sitio nos encantó. También nos tocó una habitación muy amplia con un salón estupendo y ventanales.
Los vecinos de arriba eran muy ruidosos, se les escuchaba andar a altas horas todos los días.

GiorgioItalyIn una posizione centrale e molto pulito
Il secondo letto era molto scomodo. A 10 giorni dal soggiorno non hanno ancora sbloccato la cauzione.
FadilaFranceL'emplacement.
Le parking est vite saturé.
ZudiGermanyEnttäuschender Aufenthalt – außer der Lage und dem kostenlosen Parkplatz kann ich das Hotel wegen der sehr kleinen Zimme
Das einzig Positive waren die gute Lage sowie das kostenlose Parken, was in San Francisco bekanntermaßen selten und teuer ist.
Ich habe mich leider von den guten Bewertungen täuschen lassen. Die Zimmer waren extrem…

- That the desk is staffed when you land, and that the room is held past cut-off.

Questions about Buena Vista Motor Inn
What time is check-in and check-out at Buena Vista Motor Inn?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 12:00 PM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Buena Vista Motor Inn allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Buena Vista Motor Inn?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Buena Vista Motor Inn have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Buena Vista Motor Inn have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Buena Vista Motor Inn?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Buena Vista Motor Inn?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
