Days Inn San Francisco — Civic Center/Hayes Valley

Clean, convenient and soulless, the Days Inn San Francisco.

Clean, convenient, and soulless, the Days Inn SF.

Sometimes, what you’re looking for is a predicable hotel chain that offers a decent value for your money. Two words: Days Inn.

There are three Days Inns in the city, all individually owned franchises. This Grove Street location, also called Days Inn San Francisco is close to San Francisco’s geographical center and borders on the Civic Center area — home to City Hall, the ballet, symphony, Herbst Theatre, the Asian Art Museum, and a great Farmers’ Market. It’s a block north of trendy Hayes Valley with great boutiques, restaurants, cafes, corner markets, and a nice open greenspace.

It is also adjacent to some of the city’s toughest housing projects, so vigilance is mandatory, particularly at night.

You get what you would expect at Days Inn. Free parking in a lot out front, clean, antiseptic-smelling rooms, polyester bedspreads, in-room coffee makers, decent mattresses, convenience.

At the Days Inn San Francisco, they also throw in free wi-fi, newspapers (USA today), refrigerators, microwaves, cable, and free continental breakfast — if you call individually-wrapped muffins with a shelf life of more than 50 years and a styrofoam cup full of weak coffee breakfast… This location also offers suites and Jacuzzi rooms and there is a burger joint on the premises.

If you’re looking for charm, character, or perhaps to meet other travelers, this is not the place. But, if you want something reliable, clean, and affordable with parking, Days Inn won’t disappoint.

Rates seem a bit arbitrary with different discount promotions bandied about on the website, but basically ranged from $80.75 on the low end with a 15 percent discount to $145 for a king bed suite. I would call personally first and ask for a discount.
