Columbus Inn

Classic Comfort Steps from San Francisco’s Music & Waterfront Scene

Columbus Inn is a charming, no-fuss hotel in the heart of San Francisco, just a short walk from iconic spots like Fisherman's Wharf and Lombard Street. With a clean, comfortable vibe and free covered parking (a rarity in SF), this inn is a hidden gem for travelers who want easy access to the city's bustling entertainment and music venues without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re within walking distance or a quick ride-share from some of San Francisco's most popular concert venues. The 24-hour front desk means late-night check-ins are a breeze, and the quiet, residential feel of the neighborhood gives you a much-needed break after a loud night out. Free parking is a major perk for those driving in for a show.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a budget-friendly crash pad near the action
• Solo travelers checking off a must-see artist or venue
• Couples turning a concert into a weekend getaway
• Fans seeking quiet after a high-energy show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who want comfort without splurging

Food and Drink Options

While Columbus Inn doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, it’s surrounded by walkable dining options that stay open late—perfect for post-show cravings. You’ll find coffee in your room for the morning after, and several nearby cafes offer late breakfast options if you’re sleeping in.

Nightlife Options

You’re just a short walk to North Beach and Fisherman’s Wharf, both packed with bars, lounges, and live music spots. Whether you're into chill cocktail lounges or lively pubs, you'll find something to match your post-concert mood.

What People Say

Guests love the free parking, friendly staff, and clean, spacious rooms. Many highlight the unbeatable location for exploring the city and getting to venues without needing a car. Reviewers also appreciate the quiet atmosphere at night, especially considering how central the hotel is.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the decor could use a refresh, and the property doesn’t offer many extra frills. There’s no on-site bar or restaurant, so if you're looking for full amenities, this may feel basic—but it's all about location and convenience here.

The Bottom Line

Columbus Inn is a smart, stress-free pick for concert-goers who want to stay close to San Francisco’s top venues without sacrificing comfort or blowing their budget.
