Bottom Line

The 20-room Geary Parkway Motel is a no-frills budget motel in San Francisco’s Richmond District, with homey decor, 24-hour front desk service, a breakfast counter in the lobby, and an outdoor parking lot. Classically decorated rooms have microwaves, mini-fridges and flat-screen TVs. However, the hotel’s location on a busy street can sometimes make for a noisy night’s sleep. If that’s a concern, perhaps try the San Francisco at The Presidio, which has reportedly quieter rooms.

Oyster Hotel Review

Geary Parkway Motel

Scene

Value motel featuring traditional decor but no elevator

The Geary Parkway Motel offers clean interiors and free on-site parking, making it a great choice for an affordable place to stay in the notoriously expensive San Francisco (although it's location is on the northern tip of the city). With a retro brown motel sign on Geary Street, the two-story building is painted brown and yellow, creating a homey vibe. It is unmistakably a motel, with exterior hallways and parking spaces -- some of which are covered -- are at the property's center. There's also a late-night check-in window outside the small, simple lobby. There are stairs that lead to the second floor outdoor hallways, but no elevator.
