Overview

The Presidio, a National Historic Landmark, marks the location of the beginning of San Francisco. Founded at the Golden Gate in 1776, it served as a military fort before becoming a national park in 1994. It is a place to explore and learn about the nation's past within its history, beauty, nature, recreation, and family activities.

Accommodations include the Inn and the Lodge. The Lodge at The Presidio overlooks the Golden Gate and is a historic boutique that opened in 2012, renovated in its unique national park setting. The closest lodging to the Golden Gate Bridge, the modern rooms have views of the forest, bay, city, bridge, or a combination. Within steps away from dining options, it offers a complimentary shuttle ride to streets of San Francisco. An overnight stay includes continental breakfast and complimentary wine and cheese in the evening.

Rooms at the Inn at The Presidio offers an historic experience and recreational opportunities surrounded by nature. It is located at Pershing Hall, and its Georgian Revival-style building has been restored as a guest lodge featuring 22 accommodations, including 17 suites with fireplaces. It is within easy walking distance on the Main Post.

The Funston House is a Victorian-styled renovated home featuring four private bedrooms just a few steps from the inn’s main building. All rooms have original art, are in surroundings of a forest, and have a living and dining room.

Pros (+) Location
Cons (-) Cleanliness. All bathroom soap was missing and multiple light bulbs were out in the room. Bed sheets were loose and by the morning I was sleeping on the mattress.

Jim, Oct 2015
Pros (+) - Location was fantastic. "Downtown" Santa Barbara is pretty small and this was an easy walk or bike ride (free bikes!) to the main area - Once in the room, you would think it was a nice hotel. The rooms were big, bright, and clean. This is definitely a motel in name only. - Ice cold lemonade at the check-in desk was a nice touch
