The Spotlight on Nob Hill Motor Inn

Classic San Francisco Charm Meets Budget-Friendly Comfort

Modern convenience meets retro charm at the Nob Hill Motor Inn, located in one of San Francisco’s most iconic neighborhoods. Just minutes from the city's major music venues and cultural landmarks, this updated motor inn offers spacious rooms, free parking (a rare find in SF), and easy access to top attractions like Fisherman’s Wharf and Lombard Street.
Whether you’re here for a concert or just exploring the city, the relaxed vibe and unbeatable location make it a smart choice for travelers who want to stay central without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re in luck if you’re catching a show—Nob Hill Motor Inn is within easy reach of popular venues via public transport, rideshare, or even on foot. The neighborhood is quieter at night, making it ideal for post-show wind-downs. With flexible check-in at 3:00 PM and a smooth 11:00 AM check-out, there’s time to recover from late-night encores. Plus, the free on-site parking makes it perfect for those driving in for a gig.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for an affordable, central base
- Solo travelers in town for a bucket-list show
- Couples making a weekend getaway out of a concert
- Fans seeking a peaceful place to crash after the noise
- Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without skimping on location

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, you’re surrounded by a variety of eateries—from 24-hour diners to late-night pizza joints—within walking distance. Each room includes a microwave and mini-fridge, perfect for post-show snacks or leftovers. Grab breakfast nearby at one of the local cafés after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

You're close to everything. Bars, lounges, and live music joints are just a quick ride away in North Beach, the Marina, or along Polk Street. If you're looking for something more low-key, a casual stroll from the hotel puts you in touch with cozy wine bars and chill spots that serve local craft brews.

What People Say

Guests rave about the free parking (a big deal in San Francisco!), the spacious rooms, and the unbeatable location near major attractions. Many mention that the recent room updates have made stays more comfortable and stylish. Reviewers also appreciate the value for money, especially in such a prime area of the city.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that soundproofing isn’t the strongest—so light sleepers might want to pack earplugs, especially on weekends. While the decor is clean and updated, it’s still a no-frills setup, so don’t expect luxury amenities. And while there’s no breakfast on-site, nearby cafés make up for it.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers wanting a clean, convenient, and affordable home base in the heart of San Francisco, Nob Hill Motor Inn hits all the right notes.

Overall, good value for money.

Liked: Great location close to restaurants, bars and shops, and public transport (get the 'clipper' card on Google Wallet, so easy). Easy check-in and out. The elevator to get up to 3rd floor was handy. It was very quiet at night time. Small fridge, microwave, coffee-maker and desk was just enough. Bathroom was spacious.
Disliked: We had a 'double room', and it was small. No couch (not enough floor space) and only one chair so at least one of us had to sit on the bed when in the room. But it was manageable, especially considering the price.Ad said satellite TV. I couldn't work this out so tried to use Chromecast but couldn't link it to the hotel wifi even though wifi to our phones worked fine. Had an HDMI cable so connected laptop to wifi and TV instead.

Not a bad place for...

Liked: Good location in a relatively good neighborhood and free parking although not recommended for people with big vehicles,very tight. the room and bathroom were large. refrigerator and microwave
Disliked: Rooms are very sparsely decorated. There’s no artwork and no carpeting. Everything‘s very minimal,austere. they really need to put a little more effort into making the room not so dull and boring. TV is confusing,You don’t know what or where the channels are. no TV Guide whatsoever. Shower was good, but there was absolutely no place to put your soap or shampoo except the floor.
