SOMA Park Inn – Civic Center

Diamond in the Rough You can't just a book by its cover, and you can't judge a hotel by its location. I've lived in SF for years, so I am very familiar with the 9th and Mission location downtown - its a little rough around the edges, but the SOMA Park INN is gem of a find in the middle of it all. Super friendly staff, exceptionally clean and well appointed rooms, and a parking lot directly underneath the interior balconies so you can always see what's going on with your car (if you use the lot). We were within an easy 15 minute walk to Hayes Valley for all the restaurants and night life it provides, as well as our ultimate destination - the War Memorial to attend the SF Ballet. I love this place, and will be staying for the next three ballet performances coming up this season. Highly recommend!

Motel and not a Hotel Soma Park Hotel , is a motel style , with no service , they don’t offer breakfast or any meal (at least no one offered it to me ) very poor location surrounded by houses . I don’t now why Hotel service and staff behavior are so poor in USA, so weird!!!

Perfectly fine budget motor hotel I was in town during a major conference and all the typical business hotels were either full or exorbitantly priced. SOMA Park Inn was an excellent alternative. The style is what used to be called a motor hotel, which is a multi-story version of the classic park-at-your-door motels that used to be ubiquitous. The room was very nice: comfortable bed, good linens, plenty of hot water, and clean. It had in addition to the usual coffee maker a small fridge and microwave. The WiFi worked fine. The location is reasonably convenient: right on the Mission MUNI bus route and a quick walk to the Civic Center station on Market. There’s a nice coffee shop across the street and a good Ethiopian cafe a couple doors down the street. As others have noted, the area is a little sketchy. But I never felt unsafe or concerned about security. If you want a full service hotel with a bar, restaurant, business center, room service, pool, and fancy lobby, this is not your place. If you need a comfortable room not far from the business district on a budget, this is a good choice.

place is a dump it's located not too terribly far from public transportation. however, you have to walk through tons of homeless to get there. I checked in. TV is a satellite dish and has zero channels. they put earplugs on the nightstand.....there is a reason why. no amenities but expensive for what you get and out of the way. carpet pretty cheap and the doors are open to the outside (old fashioned motor inn) bathroom small and the toilet seat in my room was broken. nothing really around here, except homeless people. the other problem with SF is it smells like pee and poo. really gross. hotel can't control that.

Clean, comfortable rooms close to SF Civic Center You will be pleasantly surprised by the quality of the rooms, especially given the neighborhood—spotlessly clean, comfortable, recently painted, well-maintained, well-stocked with coffee makers, refrigerators, microwaves, TV and Wi-Fi. The staff are courteous and helpful. The location is just a short walk from the BART Civic Center station, so this is a very convenient location if you have business in downtown SF.
