Top Lake Merced Hotel Reviews

The SeaScape Inn

8/10 Good

"This is a perfectly nice hotel. It’s safe, clean, pretty quiet (ask for a room in the back) comfortable, and there’s free parking. The rooms are good sized. There’s a coffee shop down stairs, (Java Beach Cafe) the N Judah muni line right in front and the beach is a block away. This is a quiet residential neighborhood - great fish restaurant nearby- Hook Fish. The only major attractions it’s close to are GGP and the zoo (kinda?) but it’s a nice, quiet, safe place to stay. The only thing I didn’t like was that the lights for reading in bed are in the ceiling, so it’s pretty bright. If you want a lower, more direct light, bring a headlamp."

Motel 6 San Francisco, CA – Great Highway

8/10 Good

"Amazing triple room with dune view. Parking was okay depending on the time of day. Stairs were past dirty and had cans mixed with different trash. Homeless people fought on the corner that we were put as we were coming in for the night. Had to park close to them, security, cameras, and better lighting would help with guests feeling secure"

Ocean Inn

8/10 Good

"The commuter trains seem to run all night in front of the hotel and it bothered me."

Remodeled Private 2BR with Driveway Parking & Pet Friendly

10/10 Excellent

"Property was as described and the host was quick to respond to my questions about parking outside the unit. They even brought in a package that we had delivered to the unit while we were out!"

Mirage Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great place!"

Newly Private Renovated 2BD/2BA near Mall/Beach/SF

8/10 Good

"We had a nice stay at this little apartment for a 3 day short weekend getaway. It was only a 5 minute (drive) from two different extremely beautiful areas over looking the water (mussel rock and Thornton beach) where there are very unique hiking trails down to the water. There’s a donut place our kids said were the best donuts they ever had (royal donut) and a shopping area with plenty of options for groceries etc.The apartment is conveniently only about 20 minutes from the airport so it was an easy drive back.Inside the apartment we loved that there were 2 bathrooms and the twin beds were on the opposite side of the apartment so our kids who were awake later than us didn’t keep us awake in the other room on our side of the apartment. Wouldn’t recommend for a very long term stay because there was no laundry and no oven/stove. However, there was a full size fridge and a little two burner thing to cook food so we were happy there were cooking utensils and pots and pans and the 2 burners. The street parking was easy and there were always plenty of spots. The bed and comforter were comfortable. The only 2 negatives for us: 1. there was no TV in our room (only one by the kids) and 2. no thermostat in the unit so after a couple days of being way too hot we messaged the host and they quickly replied that the thermostat is upstairs, they had it shut off, and that helped SO much. Great location, easy, very nice host.-family with 2 adults 2 kids"

3BD Sweet Home-4 blocks to Golden Gate Park.

"Very responsive host!"

Absolutely Private President's Suite, Computer, Wi-Fi, Laundry, Pub. Parking

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for my wife and me. Beautiful, nicely appointed, and very comfortable place from the interior to the small deck and backyard. We had bicycles, which we were able to store in the garage (although it’s a seriously steep climb on bike from Golden Gate Park).Regarding parking, it is a bit of a challenge to find a spot on the block, but we always relatively easily found one within a block or two (and did find a spot in front of the building) more than once."
