The five hotels on this page are on Lombard Street, between the Presidio's Lombard Gate and Fillmore Street. Each is a 41- to 50-minute walk from the bridge, and a 28 bus stop is 1 to 4 minutes from each door. The Presidio, right next to the bridge, has its own hotels, Lodge at the Presidio and Inn at the Presidio, but you can't book them on Dyme.
Travelodge by Wyndham Presidio is the closest. Cow Hollow Inn and Suites has the best guest score (8.5), and the Infinity Hotel, part of Hilton's Tapestry Collection, is the only 4-star.
How we chose these hotels
We picked these for distance to the Golden Gate Bridge, measured as a walking route to the bridge plaza at the Welcome Center on the San Francisco side. The closest bookable hotels are the motels and small hotels along Lombard Street, about 2 to 2.5 miles away on foot.
We ranked them by walking distance, then used guest score to break near-ties. We left out places rated below 8.0 by guests and places we couldn't confirm on the hotel's or brand's own website.
