Ideally situated in the exclusive Pacific Heights neighbourhood of San Francisco, this magnificent brownstone mansion is close enough to the action of the city, yet far enough away to provide peace and quiet. The charm of this 19th century building and the friendly staff will make you feel at home.

Convenience, neighbourhood and location and the ambience

Located just 2 minutes’ drive to the entrance to San Francisco’s Presidio National Park, this motel features free on-site parking. All guest rooms offer free WiFi.

Each room at La Luna Inn, Ascend Hotel Collection is furnished with a flat-screen TV.

The location is close to the Palace of fine arts and the bus station so it was very convenient. We also appreciate the fact that they upgraded us to a deluxe king and gave us free wine when they knew we were getting married! The room is also very spacious and the staff were very kind! Our sheets and towels were replaced every single day without you having to request it. Thank you for making our stay special!!

He owner was very rude. My reservation didn’t show up in the system. I told the owner I had the confirmation number and everything to proof I did the reservation, but the started yelling at me saying it’s not his problem because is not in the system. He didn’t even look at my reservation in my phone. He told my to called booking and ask for my refund. I asked him to checked again and he got really mad and rude. Worst customer service. Customer don’t deserve to be treated like that.

    Waking up on our first morning in San Francisco, taking a short walk and finding myself on the beach gazing across at the Golden Gate Bridge. Well equipped kitchens. Quiet courtyard setting. Value for money.

    Perfect location away from the hustle and bustle of downtown San Francisco. Right next to Ocean Beach and the N Judah train which brings you easily to Haight Street or Downtown. Golden Gate park is a few blocks away and some fanstastic restaurants all within a five minute walk. The rooms were large and clean and I honestly cannot fault this motel.

    Good location right on the beach. Easy to get into town. Reasonably spacious room. Bathroom updated and rooms painted fresh. A few things weren't perfect but for the price I was very happy with it and would stay there again.
