And this is for the Francisco Inn by the Bay: By my count - that's 3 so far on the list who have parking - and I have only checked about 5 on the list so far!

1501 Lombard @ Franklin (one block West of Van Ness)

Typical Rates: $100- $120 per night, including parking, in-room refrigerator / microwave & daily breakfast.

What? Clicked on one more - so this is #4 - and this one also has some free parking. The Ramada Limited - Golden Gate:



Approximately $125 per night plus tax 1940 Lombard 37 rooms; Free parking but less than number of rooms - first come, first served.

Neither of us disagreed that there are Lombard Street motels with free parking. We both disagreed with the concept of free and easy on-street parking.

And here is a 5th one - a few blocks from Lombard - on Van Ness at Broadway. A bit busy perhaps - but a port in the storm if needed :) - with parking. Note - don't believe any of these had Motor in their name?

Broadway Manor Inn- Andy writes, "...it was ok -- clean, cable t.v., safe, free parking, good location-- safe but central. Minuses are street is relatively busy/ some car noise but not too bad. Don't expect much sightseeing help from the front desk or great service. It's a semi-clean room in a good location at a low price. Area is busy, but near Pacific Heights and major bus lines..."

sf7 - U B dancing girl. Just quoted 4 Lombard St. Hotels with free parking and one a few blocks up Van Ness at Broadway. And on street parking might take a little driving around to find a space - but after 6 PM - it's good overnight, righto?

And you did read this, oui? :) ......but it’s easier to find free or low-cost parking in this neighborhood than it is in many different parts of San Francisco.

And still don't quite fathom your objections? Perhaps you read this differently than I intended it - as "but" means in addition to the free parking at the Motels - there is on the street parking..................

Perhaps I should have written: ... but also on the street -

Here is the actual quote: "some of the motels have free parking - but on the street - can't you find a meter after they stop charging (6 PM)and leave it there overnight - and then make sure you are feeding the meter once it goes live again in the am - 7 AM or 8 AM - whateve it says on the meter?"

Almost all motels offer free parking. You were talking about free parking <u>on the street</u>. Maybe if you slowed down and posted once instead of answering yourself 6 or 8 times . . .

<<<And you did read this, oui? ......but it’s easier to find free or low-cost parking in this neighborhood than it is in many different parts of San Francisco.>>>

Puffery. Finding parking in those neighborhoods is NOT easy.

gpm, are you still with us?

I fear we have been - erh - a bit too helpful? :)

:-))

The way I view it is you ladies (sf7 and janisj) both misread my post - and jumped on it with your "observations" - without really knowing beans about the Lombard Hotels/Motels. Plus the inane comment about "Motor" having to be in the Motel's name - or else it didn't have parking? Geesh!!!!

The Lombard places offer great access to Chestnut and Union Sts and the Marina Green/Palace of Fine Arts - and are a low cost alternative to many places in SF AND MOST DO HAVE FREE PARKING. :)
