Cow Hollow Inn and Suites

Cow Hollow is a small, no frill, hotel on Lombard street with free parking and internet. We loved its central location. It is in the middle of Marina District, a walking distance to Pier 39, Presidio, Ghirardelli Square, Pacific Hight, Painted Ladies etc. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We had a car and were able to park in their parking garage. Both of the rooms we had were newly renovated, spacious and well appointed. Beds were comfortable. There are couple of breakfast places next to the hotel and Chestnut Street, one block north of Lombard, is full of restaurants and bars, teaming with young people over the weekend.

We drove a truck into the city and did not realize that the parking garage height was 6.6 feet. Our truck is over 7 feet. We were pleasantly surprised that the first floor/ lobby was 8 feet tall and we found a spot! We were on the 3rd floor and the room exceeded my expectations. It was clean, large and the bathroom was nice. You heard street noise, but you are in the city and we had no problem sleeping. I definitely will stay again because of the location and all the restaurants in the area.

Great location with nearby access to good restaurants and shops in an attractive neighbourhood. Easy public transport connections to most areas of interest and walking proximity to a number of interesting sights. We had no vehicle and felt no need for one here however there does appear to be good access to parking in the building. Comfortable and spacious room with a good bed, worked well for our 5 night stay. Reasonable value and helpful staff.

Good location, good value for money, free parking is good and secure (parking garage opens with a card key). Fridge is NOT included in room, but can be requested at additional 5$ per day. Room safe is included for valuables storage. Breakfast is NOT included, but there are 2 good breakfast places right next door. Especially we liked Mel's Diner across the street, very good food and service. Overall - we liked this hotel.

Staff were great and helpful, answered questions we had about transport and the area. Very helpful at checkout too as they stored our bags for us due to our very late flight times. Also gave us some informatoin regarding a bus tour that saved us money and was a brilliant way to see the city. Room was excellent, if a little noisey (face the main road) but that was not much of a problem to be honest. The facilities were excellent and bed very comfortable. We didnt need it but there is parking at the hotel as well. They were doing some renovating as we stayed there but that did not intrude on our stay at all.
