As a native of San Francisco, I often hear tourists asking residents for hotel recommendations. More often than not, I hear people recommend against staying in a hotel and instead staying in a motel. There are a few reasons why motels are a better option for many tourists visiting San Francisco.

The first reason is that motels are typically a lot cheaper than hotels. This is especially true if you are looking for a place to stay near Fisherman's Wharf or Union Square. There are a lot of great motels in these areas that offer rooms for as little as $100 per night.

The second reason is that motels are typically a lot smaller than hotels. This can be a good or bad thing, depending on your preferences. I think that the smaller size of motels makes them more cozy and welcoming.

The third reason is that motels typically offer free parking, which is a big bonus for tourists who are driving to San Francisco. Parking in San Francisco can be very expensive, so this can save you a lot of money.

The fourth reason is that motels typically offer more basic amenities than hotels. This can be a good or bad thing, depending on your preferences. I think that the basic amenities offered by motels are perfect for budget-minded tourists.
