Cow Hollow Motor Inn and Suites
2190 Lombard St., San Francisco, California 94123, United States
Why We Like It
Affordable rooms or a San Francisco-style apartment in one of the city's most sought-after zip codes. Add free parking to the mix and you see why this property sells out fast.
Fodor's Expert Review
Guests have two main options at this Marina property. The first and more traditional motel rooms sit on busy Lombard Street and make a fine hub for budget travelers. Families, or those preferring a traditional San Francisco-style apartment, will appreciate the suites located in the heart of the Marina commercial district.
You Should Know Free Wi-Fi and covered parking are additional perks.

Room
The suites at this large, family-owned, modern motel resemble typical San Francisco apartments and are more spacious than average, featuring big living rooms, one or two bedrooms, hardwood floors, sitting and dining areas, marble wood-burning fireplaces, and fully equipped kitchens. Some have views of the Golden Gate Bridge and others overlook the shops, coffeehouses, and neighborhood businesses of Chestnut Street. Standard rooms have a modern look and are located in another building on Lombard Street.
You Should Know Standard rooms can be loud but are a fine budget choice for the chic Marina District zip code.

Getting Around
The hotel offers complimentary parking for guests. Buses stop frequently within a block of the property, connecting travelers to transportation hubs to hop on Muni and BART trains. Walkers will love the proximity to the Marina, Crissy Field, Presidio, and Pacific Heights.
Restaurants
For a casual, but consistently excellent seafood dinner, head over to Pacific Catch (2-minute walk) where rice bowls and tacos pair well with their cocktails. For pizza and Italian entrees, Delarosa (3-minute walk) is a great option, especially for those who appreciate solid wines and craft cocktails.
