Lombard Plaza Motel

Marina District

10/10 Excellent

Stayed here for a couple of weeks. Bed is large and comfy, and the room is adequate with a little couch. The housekeepers are really nice. There's a little window for some sunlight though you'll want to turn on the light during the day. Great stay, no weird smells. Only thing is you will hear laughing/drunk people/bar music on the weekend nights but just turn on the ac/heater and it will drown them out haha.

Motel Capri

Cow Hollow

10/10 Excellent

I rated this motel 5 stars because I felt that you got value for your money. It looked quite dated from the outside but the interior nice. I had a king room on the 3rd floor and I had to walk up 2 flights of stairs but it was not a problem for me. The bed was very comfortable and the amenities were suitable for a 2 night stay. Breakfast was provided but I didn't have it so I cannot comment on it. I was able to walk to the marina area and Fisherman's Wharf, plus there were other places to eat...

Motel 6 Vallejo, CA – Napa Valley

Vallejo

8/10 Good

Thought I'd made a horrible mistake when I first arrived - the area around the hotel felt pretty dodgy & unsafe and the hotel itself looked a bit rundown. Thankfully my room was a pleasant surprise - it was a good size, the bed was comfy, and the bathroom was great. Only real complaint was the layout of the hotel - the pool's position made getting to my room a lot more difficult & convoluted than necessary and reduced the amount of available parking.
