We made reservations through Travelocity. We arrived at 4:00 p.m. We were given the 2nd floor room 201 and it was a clean sparse room. It had a large TV that worked nicely. Cool night 1/30/12 & the heater worked great. The bathroom was very clean. I think the people who complained about having to pay ahead of time did... More

This Motor Inn (not a hotel) in any other area would be rated a 1-star for the following reasons: The desk clerks (male and female) are behind a security glass window and all transactions are made via a slide-through access similar to banks so the initial impression is not a good sign. I, as well as the previous review, was... More

You know it's a bad sign when you check in at 8:45 PM (i.e, not that late) and you have to stand outside while the desk clerk is behind plexiglass. It was dark and creepy and as a woman staying alone, it did not feel fully safe. I had planned on going out for some milk after I checked in,... More

Great Highway Inn is not in the most "exciting" part of the city. and its a basic hotel. but the staff is very nice and the place is very quite and quick walk to ocean beach. rooms are very nice for one or two people. as long as u have a rental car while visiting to get to other parts... More

If you can get past the Chinese desk clerk,the hotel is nice.Waking up and looking out at the beach in the morning is amazing.You're close to Ocean Beach and Lands End,two great places to visit.The room was clean.The bed was comfortable,bathroom clean.Kind of a "Surf" hotel.I'd stay again. More

We found this Inn when we went to visit our son who attends SF State and were pleasantly surprised by the affordability and the size of the rooms. I recently returned there this last Oct and was again suprised by the size of the room. When I called for a reservation they said they only had the "big rooms" available... More

My daughter and I are spending the weekend at this motel as I write. We were hesitant because of the low ratings, but due to the SF Jazz Festival, this is what we could find close by the Florence Gould Theater. We are HAPPILY surprised. I would give this sweet, clean little oasis a good solid 3! And don't forget... More

For the price, it was a nice experience. Hotel was in pretty good condition. Could use an iron/ironing board and a alarm clock. Did have ocean view (third floor), microwave and refigerator. The last two items came in handy as we could fix our own breakfast and save a little on meals. The bathroom's were nice and there were complimentary... More

Central San Fransisco hotels all full so we came across this. Nice location near beach and quiet. Friendly check in and room clean and good size but more basic than other hotels we had stayed in. Flexible about how long we wanted to stay. We probably wouldnt come here again but there was no particular problem and I was surprised... More

There is nothing special about the GHI. It was 940 pm, freezing cold, and foggy when we checked in – in July! The other hotels in the area were booked so we had few alternatives. It should be noted that we travel via motorcycle and make no reservations to keep our trips interesting. The room was good size and basic... More
