Top Thornton State Beach Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

8/10 Good

"Decent room, good breakfast and location very good"

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"

Travelers Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room"

Ocean Inn

8/10 Good

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

Alpine Inn And Suites

8/10 Good

"The rooms were clean, the location is actually pretty good compared to others down the street in the same area. We felt safe, even at night. It's around 30 minutes to the piers, the park, the beach, and other attractions. 12 minutes to Starbucks and Target. It's not far, just city driving takes up the time. There was 1 thing that was a minus for me was the super loud AC/Heater. It sounded like an engine and woke me up every single time it auto turns on when set to auto temp, I'm just a light sleeper, the kids slept through it. The bathroom is very small, the sliding glass doors leaks water when showering, making the mat towel very wet after every shower. When you first check in, you'll talk to a screen, the receptionist is remote, but very helpful and friendly and always available. The parking is assigned, but not in front of your room. So make sure you request 1 infront of your room when you book and check in. Overall I'd recommend this hotel over others in the area."

Mirage Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great place!"

BridgePoint Inn Daly City

8/10 Good

"Room was clean, bed comforted. People were. Nice and accommodating"

Mylo Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I like that this hotel/motel is kind of old school but nice and clean and quiet. I always enjoy staying here."
