Geneva Motel Daly City

Parking was tight. The top blanket smelled horrible of previous occupants’ drool. The motel had a bit of a smell. The bathroom window had a hole. They weren’t wanting to give enough towels for each guest. The two stars are because we got the family room that had three beds. That was convenient.

Great little old timey classic motor lodge. Staff made me feel very safe, and parking was well lit. Neighborhood is a little iffy. Room was nice.

This is a VERY unique motel, probably built in the 40s. I can think of three reasons why you might want to stay here. 1) You are attending an event at the Cow Palace. It's a 10-15 minute walk; very convenient. This is why we were there. 2) You have a very early flight out of SFO and just need a place to sleep the night before. 3) You arrive very late at SFO, and have a long drive to your final destination. The room itself was clean, and it was very basic. There was a desk and chair, the bed, a night stand, a TV on the wall, a refrigerator and a microwave. I joked with my daughter that the "closet" was a stick-on hook on the back of the door. You have to live out of your suitcase. It appears there is construction going on in other rooms, because most of the covered parking stalls had stuff in them. You drive through an archway to the parking lot. I'd read reviews that parking was a problem, but we were able to get a space because we arrived early and didn't move the car. The bed was comfortable, and the shower had good pressure and plenty of hot water. The vanity was tiny, no room really to put anything bigger than a toothbrush. The soap appeared to be from Motel 6, and the conditioning shampoo came in a foil packet. There wasn't a screen on the window. The room was quite warm, so we had to run the A/C all night. The benefit was that it drowned out any traffic there might've been from the street. It would have been great if there had been a coffee maker.

No parking available, no ice machines, no coffee machine, no vending machine, no WiFi access offered. Too noisy as the person in the room next to me had his television on all night the 2 nights I was there trying to sleep.

It’s clean, parking easy and free but they don’t have shampoo, hair dryer

A/C was great, room was clean, I would have liked more shelves or a closet to put things in. Over all, it was a good place.

The parking was super small but so is the motel itself only like 20 rooms maximum 30. The soap was motel 6 soap. The shampoo and conditioner were average but super small. The bed had a stain which we realized were burn stains due to the blue top layer being plastic or synthetic. Ours was a two bedroom with a door separating them but our friends for the same price had two beds in a longer room. The bathroom we had didn’t have a mirror. Ours was in the hall. But overall for the price and it being a motel it was pleasant. Would stay there again if I have to go to cow palace.

It is ancient; the first room they gave me smelled so awful like there was poop everywhere or terrible mold; the guy at the desk was friendly and changed my room immediately, a way better room, still stuffy, and to my surprise, the bed which seemed soft and wrong for the back was great and had a great sleep

Clean

I was at first very apprehensive about this hotel. The reviews from 23 years ago were horrible. However, the newer reviews seemed to be OK. I was a single traveler, and being a woman I needed to have security. The place was actually really cute needed a few upgrades on the outside, but the inside I was a little shocked to find what could be blood stain on the bedspread. Not to mention stained towels. It’s the little things like that that make a difference. however, the hotel was a budget type of lodging and for me at this time safety was not an issue.

Nice , clean , safe

The furniture needs to be replaced.

Place was great. Real quiet, private, and peaceful. I would love to stay here again

I didnt like anything. The owners were very rude about my service dog. The bed was very uncomfortable there was banging as well as stomping above me in and out all night.

The Motel was very cleaned and very spacious. That my first Motel I like very much.

The room was clean, a bit small but not a problem for one night stay. Staff was friendly. Close by there were a few stores to pick up snacks or grab a quick bite.

The gentleman running the motel was brusque, unfriendly and not very accommodating. The room was good, very comfortable bed, and good bathroom. The housekeeper was frienly and helpful

You owe me a refund the racist owner wouldn't let me stay there

Never got to stay here. My prepaid card was good enough for the non-refundable booking, but not the deposit. Lucky for me, the manager allowed me a refund.

I didnt like anything. The owners were very rude about my service dog. The bed was very uncomfortable there was banging as well as stomping above me in and out all night.

Me and my wife arrived there late, and the man at the counter had us waiting in the cold for over 20 minutes , and I also asked if I can switch dates because I got the wrong ones he said yes and I can get refund for that night and they ended up charging me 2 nights! Me and my wife were very disappointed.

Didnt like how the person came banging on the door exactly at 11 (checkout) saying it was time to leave.

10 minute or less walk from cow palace. This will definitely be my go to when I go to an event at the cow palace!
