We booked the cheap outside of SF, we only stayed one night from 11pm-7am, and the room was clean, everything was in working order, didn't see any bugs or smell any weird smells mentioned in some of the posts here, the front desk staff was a bit rude (at 11 when we got in the lobby door was locked and...

Room was clean, rug was clean, bed was comfortable, AC worked, nice TV with more channels than I could handle. Certainly nothing special but more than adequate for the price. Very basic breakfast but no room to eat - just take to the room, which also has a fridge! I would have no problem staying here again.

I had trouble finding the Travelodge in San Rafael because it was at night and I had driven a long distance and was tired. When I called the front desk from West Francisco Blvd (motel is on East Francisco Blvd.) they couldn't tell me how to get there. I had a Smartphone, but my directions were all turned around.

Bed linen was clean and fresh but the room did not smell fresh. Breakfast served in very small area with only one small coffee table for 2 people. Easy to find off the motorway.

I found a bed bug in the bathroom. The toilet was dirty and didn't flush. I had trouble with the door card. I am very itchy and I was only in the room for about 15 minutes. The refrigerator didn't have the right plug for the outlet. The television sound didn't work. I found another place to stay. I am... More

We were advised by a friend that the best way to see San Francisco, cheaply, was to stay in San Rafael, take the ferry from Larkspur to the Ferry Plaza in San Francisco and use the day pass for all the transportation. The motel is about 15 minutes north of the Golden Gate Bridge and about 2 minutes from the... More

Positive: frige and microwave, good and clean pool, close to the Ferry if you want to go directly to downtown San Francisco. Negative: the bear bites (their breakfast) very basic, not compare to others Travelodge, the room s carpet was not so clean as we expected to be.

Not being familiar with the area and only needing a quick stay for one night while visiting a cousin, I decided to go cheap. OMG!!! First, the desk clerk was extremely unfriendly and rude to me. No rooms were ready at 1pm. Really ? No rooms ready? Not even one? It's not like it's a busy place or in a... More

Front desk staff bordered on being rude. Ungrateful- did not hear "thank you" "welcome" "Can I help you?" the entire stay. When I couldn't find the ID for the credit card we used right away the front desk person said "Well, we are booked, so..." as if they didn't need my business. Keep in mind that they had already charged... More

I was a little hesitant on staying here based on the reviews. But don't be afraid people (at least regular people that moan and cry about every little thing) it is everything I expected it to be. I see this happen way too much, people expect the world when they book the CHEAPEST room in the city and expect it... More
