Judah Street Muni Train runs out in front during the day. Very convevient for tides down the line (i.e. Restaurants, Haight Street and Downtown) Coffee place (Java Beach) is next door, Ocean Beach Access is across the street, and it's only a few blocks to Golden Gate Park.

Not only is this motel conveniently located right at the end of the N Judah train line, which makes transportation very easy, but it also has the history of being the last place that Brad Nowell, of Sublime, spent his last hours. I didn’t know this until a security guard at the bar down the street told me on my last stay. Access to the beach is a short walk and Golden gat park is very close by. Free parking is always awesome in SF as well.

Hotel is NOT ADA compliant despite their claim. Front desk agent insisted that “just one flight of stairs” was accessible and would be fine for me (a wheelchair user) then after calling for a refund because we could not stay there the manager called and yelled at me the next day insisting again that they are accessible.

Rooms are expensive for the service, my son wanted a late check but it could not be accommodated. We had to move the extra car to offsite parking even though there was hardly anyone there.

Staff was friendly. Check in was easy. My room was very clean. It's clear there have been more recent updates, but it does show a little wear now, though still nice. I really appreciate the hardwood floors rather than carpet.

It also had A/C - which even in the city, rooms can get warm so it's a must for me. And I was happy to have a microwave and fridge. The room also had room darkening shutters and it was quiet - so I slept really well.

Parking on site was easy and free, which in the city is a big plus!

The hotel is a very short walk to the beach and there's a great coffee shop near by, and a great taco truck! The hote is right by where the trains turn around - but inside the hotel and room I couldn't hear them.

I was traveling alone visiting family and I felt very safe and comfortable in the hotel and being able to park on site.

I gave 4 stars instead of 5 for two reasons. First is the location. While very close to the beach, it may look/feel a little 'iffy'. But again, I felt safe at the hotel and in my room. All the rooms are accessed inside and you have to have a key card to enter. The second reason is they don't have an elevator and rooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floors.

But overall this was a very affordable great little hotel with nice, clean rooms and everything I wanted and needed. I will absolutely be staying here again.

The bed was decent. I did NOT get bitten by bedbugs and I did NOT hear rodents running around. I also had a warm shower. The inn is across Ocean Beach and I had wonderful walk up to Land's End. It was awesome! I did not see house-less people or anyone loitering at the motel so another plus. There is a wonderful cafe for coffee in the morning at the corner of the block. Having said that you get what you pay for: The door to the room radiated light underneath and walls are very thin. I was on my guard the entire time. If I was traveling solo as a woman, I would not have felt safe. But it was clean.

This is an inexpensive hotel with no amenties. The property is clean but is showing its age. Location is one block from Ocean Beach, so great if you're a surfer or like to walk on the beach. Golden Gate is within walking distance, but all of the museums are a long ways East. The hotel is on the same street as the N Judah trolley, which can take you downtown. There are no rooms at ground level, and there is no elevator in this 4-story building, so it's not ADA friendly.

Service could have been better

The location is prime! N train stop right there and all the restaurants nearby. The beach is right there. But the motel is loud, between the outside sounds and inside sounds, it's a lot. Overall the rooms are clean and beds are super comfy. My biggest issue is with the front desk being unavailable most of the time. I would come down and ring the doorbell and no one would come. On the day we were leaving I tried to check out and make sure everything was good to go, no one came to the window at all, we had to go to catch the taxi to the airport so left without knowing if we did everything correctly.

If you are staying for the beach experience and don't care about amenities, it's the spot. Bring ear plugs and you will be set. Very relaxed and laid back area and you can take public transportation to anywhere in the city from that point.

Great!

I was a bit apprehensive about staying at this location despite the good reviews. The building looked a bit older from the outside but still decently maintained. When I went into the room I was VERY surprised. It looked like it had been recently remodeled. Beautiful flooring, great paint colors, and very clean. Bed was comfortable and the room was very spacious. Easy to move around the room. FREE PARKING. Overall a great stay, just a few cons:

No elevator I'm aware of and I was on the 3rd floor. Stairs aren't steep but its not easy if you have lots of luggage. The bodywash was out in the containers (refillable). Parking is a bit tough. It takes some maneuvering to get out of the parking lot due to having poles in the way and it IS limited.

Other than that, THANK YOU for a beautiful room!

Clean, safe, didn’t get much sleep

Affordable, clean, comfortable bed. The building itself carries sound, so you’ll hear every guest come in or out of the building (the exterior security door slams loudly), and the ice machine was wildly loud. It was down the hall, around the corner and at the bottom of a flight of stairs, and it might has well have been in my room.

The floors are pergo, so they’re quite hygienic, but there’s nothing to absorb sound. Some runners and acoustic treatment in the halls would make a huge difference.

First of all there is no parking. So beware!! There's a dozen spaces for about 40 rooms. They are taken at all times. Had we known we would have to drive around city streets for 30 min looking for an open space to park we would never had booked this hotel. At 11pm , exhausted we had to drive around for 30 min at least looking for a spot and we finally did half mile away. Me and 3 adult daughters walking that far and late on streets we don't know if dangerous or not with all the homeless.

2nd, we got in the room and all needed to shower, but the hotel shower wall mounted shampoo container was empty. We had to use door dash to bring us a bottle of shampoo $16. Highly inconvenient.

Close to the beach & some good restaurants. Generally quiet area, but the property itself is on the N. Judah streetcar line, so pretty noisy on the street side of the building.

The room was clean and comfortable, though nothing special. Onsite parking is a definite plus.

I liked it just fine.

Only real complaint is no elevator, so if you have a lot of bags or mobility issues, let them know. I’m know sure what accommodations they have for that. Schlepping a heavy suitcase up 3 flights of stairs was not the best experience.
