The first room we were placed in was musty and had what appeared to be mold on the wall near the AC unit. The lights would flicker on and off in the bathroom when something was plugged in. Everything in the room was old, damaged and/or in need of repair. We requested another room as we didn't want to be around the suspected mold. The manager was accomodating after some discussion and seeing a photo of what we saw. He moved us to a room upstairs, which was in slightly better condition, but not by much. The room was still musty and in need of major repairs. One outlet didn't work at all and the others hardly charged our cell phones. The shower handle fell off in our hands when we went to open the door. The best thing yet, is that my daughter took a shower in the middle of the night and I was woken up to the manager pounding on the door to our room around 3 in the morning. Wearily I opened it and was told to turn the water off in the shower right now because it was leaking into the room below me! What kind of a place is this for nearly $200 a night!

Beds were tiny, covers were dark, probably to hid stains
bathroom was tiny, my sons both 6' could barely fit in shower.
toilet had duct tape, hold in wall behind the door.

This hotel is very out dated and in serious need of upgrading. The carpet was sticky, there was something black splattered on the wall by the air conditioner, the toilet was duct taped together, and the floor wasn’t vacuumed very well (dust along the edges) also the bathroom wall paper was peeling and there was black in the shower. Not worth what we had to pay for it.

For the price with parking included not bad. Plenty of food and restaurants in the area. Fridge and microwave in the room is great! Iron and board was helpful. Safe area as well. Service was nice enough.

I had to plug in the tv for it to turn on and/or off and there is no way to adjust the volume so that’s weird. AC/Heater worked well. Bathroom…it’s not my favorite and could use a mold/mildew grout treatment. Again, it’s a low priced motel with parking so I got what I expected.

I have stayed here many times since the 80s. Now I hadn’t stayed here in about 10 years, I got a good deal and despite the reviews decided to roll the dice. I arrived around 3pm, the first thing I noticed was all the weeds in the parking lot, it looked unkempt. The room hasn’t changed in all these years, same bedspread, dingy looking carpet, walls looked need paint and really dark lighting. The lampshades were discolored and needed to be replaced. This place needs a total remodel and if the owners are unwilling they should sell, I would be embarrassed if I was the owner of this business. I stayed for two days, will never stay here again.

This was my first time staying at a motel and in a completely new city at that and I am glad I chose to stay at Townhouse. After having read some of the reviews on Google, I feel like the service and staff has greatly improved from the past. I booked a standard king room and was quite pleased. I kept my expectations low to begin with and hence wasn't disappointed. The motel was fully booked up and so I couldn't check in as early as I would've wanted but Andy at front desk checked me in an hour earlier than standard time. The room was definitely old as is the motel itself and it had some drawbacks like the frayed edges of the carpet, the blow dryer and iron box not working but those were very minor inconveniences to me. The room and the bathroom were very clean and stocked with the essentials. The fridge was in perfect working condition. The bed was very comfortable and cozy which was great because the room was slightly on the chilly side( I don't think heating is an option) . But once you are under the covers, you are warm and toasty. The location of the motel was great as it was walkable distance (at least for me) to fisherman's wharf, Ghirardelli square, golden gate etc - all the spots I hit.
There was one incident worth noting, where my key card wouldn't work on the first night. But Andy and the maintenance guy were on top of it and it was fixed the very next day. Over all a 4/5 imo and good value for your money. Special S/O to Andy and I wanna say Eric (maintenance guy).

Cheap but check out the room first

The hotel looks like it's not open but if you get closer it is, just not busy. The room is dated but clean. So far so good until i needed to shower. I let the water run, no hot water. I ran it for 10 minutes still no hot water. I went to the front desk waited for anyone. They must of change shifts because now i have a guy to explain my situation. He tells me this happens? I tell him, \"then why give out these rooms\" ? He was apologetic and gave me a room facing the inside of the property. This place has a lot of rooms but it appears they tend to give out the rooms that faces towards the road. I speculate the rooms facing the road are problem rooms. I say this because my second room was much better and nicer than my 1st room. No problems it had more amenities in it. So thats how we do it here? If you go with this place ask to see the room first, then request a room that faces in on the property.

Everything was in a state of disrepair. The blinds were broken. There was a board in the window to prevent people from seeing in the window. There was no screen on the window though there were on other units. Everything was stained or ripped. Sleeping on the ground would have been more comfortable than that mattress. There was not a fitted sheet. It was a flat sheet on a stained mattress on a box spring that had the bottom ripped out. There was mildew in the shower. It smelled a little bit of piss in the bathroom. There wasn't a chain on the door, it made me really uncomfortable. The phone could not have been dirtier or more beat looking. I didn't try the television, AC, or coffee maker, and I think you would be taking your life in your hands eating ice out of that ice machine. I think the prices in San Francisco are ridiculous at this point and it is priced for what it is in that town but it was so uncomfortable. I'm cheap enough that I stayed both nights but disgusted enough that I paid $25 extra dollars to fly out of town 2 hours faster. Location is walkable to stuff which is nice , staff is nice, but the state of disrepair is really unforgivable. I do believe they are washing the linens and sheets but they may be throwing them on the floor at some point because there was a whole bunch of hair on the sheets.

Old and musty

Room was so outdated, had a funky smell and just felt generally unclean even after it had just been cleaned, it is in need of a serious refresh. Dusty and old. Bed was hard and sheets were scratchy

My shower door was broken and I could barely get it open but the water pressure was good

The walls were so thin between rooms I could hear every word they were saying in the room next door. And the room above. Which was at one time a very heated argument. I felt a little bit unsafe for this reason. There were no extra locks on the door to lock from the inside as well which as a solo traveler I always would prefer to give me that extra level of safety in my room such as a chain lock.

Location is good, 10 minute walk to fisherman’s wharf and close to lots of shops and restaurants

I was in an end room, I believe next to where employees stayed, they were very noisy all hours of the night. I told them immediately about the shower leaking (a lot), they said they would let maintenance know. Leaked from Saturday to Monday and the bathroom door wouldn't shut all the way. When I woke up Monday morning, I had a rash all over my right calf. (I wore long slacks during the day,) it had to come from the bedding. Soda machine didn't work either.

My friend and I stayed here to bartend pride weekend. It was the nicest cheap option away from all the craziness with being a quick Uber away from civic center.

Location was great. Great restaurants and bars were super close. Our room wasn’t bad. Definitely some wear and tear on walls and doors but air conditioner was amazing, beds were comfy, car was safe. We were able to leave our car while we worked the festival for half the price of a parking garage. Brothers were SUPER nice. Would stay here again.

The staff was friendly, the room was clean and it was close to public transit. The room was a bit dated and had some cosmetic issues. I travel a lot for work so I’ve stayed in many hotels. The big negatives here for me were a lack of accessible outlets, I have a CPAP and figuring out where I could plug it in was challenging. The cable was not working, not a huge issue for me since I always travel with a firestick but I could see how it might upset others, especially when it’s advertised as being one of the amenities. The area is a bit rough so it might not be the best place for a family stay.

Cheap, convenient location. Close to restuarants and walk to fishermans wharf. We were allocated a room where 2 lights were out, hairdryer did not work, filthy shower area with drain cover damaged, shower screen stuck when opening and black mould. All rooms appear to have shutters which dont block out light so was like sleeping in the daytime. Asked to be moved next day..room was cleaner but hairdryer so old totally unsafe to use. Fridge freezer totally iced up. Towels and bed linen clean but so old and thin. Towels had fraying edges. So, if you want cheap and a convenient location give it a go...i would look elsewhere. Also dont let reception grab your passport and take into the back room along with your credit card...dodgy to say the least!
