Deluxe Inn

I booked Deluxe Inn on a whim after carefully researching budget hotels close to SFO. For less than 100 bucks I was able to get a clean and comfortable room just minutes from the airport and nearby all attractions and shopping plus many dining options nearby. Deluxe Inn is a solid budget hotel. I spoke to the owner and he is a kind gentleman who really has pride in his motel. He has remodeled the rooms and the place is clean. He let me park my car while on my short business trip to LA from SFO. Very convenient and affordable. I looked at the old reviews and they are definitely not fair and accurate as the place has been fixed and there is definitely pride in ownership. Good value stay near SFO International.

Ideal if you fly in late as we did. We arrived after midnight with no reservation at the manager sorted out the paperwork quickly. There’s a bar next door and some shops quite close. It had all the basics without frills: clean bed, fresh towels, lovely hot shower and even coffee. Wi-fi was very handy to allow to plan our next few days. Only had the single night as we then moved nearer to the Marina, on Lombard.

For $125 (after tax with a $10 off discount from hotels.com) we expected just a little more. The room smelled weird and all we got were 2 SMALL bath soaps and 2 small wash cloths. We had to dry ourselves with that after our shower. The neighborhood is fine but this is a noisy area - cars and buses on the main road, airplanes, etc.
