I had a good experience staying at Motel 6. The room was clean, the staff was friendly, and the location was convenient. Overall, my stay was comfortable, and I would stay here again. The only downside was having to pay an additional $10 per night for parking, which I wasn't expecting. Other than that, everything went well.

This location is excellent — walkable to Fisherman’s Wharf. The room had heavy cigarette smell which caused us allergic reactions. Was it worth the low price for one night? Not sure.

I read a lot of bad reviews here and I booked anyway.
Rooms were clean sheets were clean, staff was friendly. In a place where most rooms are $400 and up this is a great choice for someone that prefers to spend money on attractions instead of the 10 hours you’ll be in the room sleeping and showering with very hot great pressure. Zero complaints.

The place was a perfect spot to stay so you could enjoy all the parts of San Francisco. My family and I were able to walk to the trolley and any transportation spot within San Francisco. The hotel itself was a little run down and the elevator wasn't working, but the room was clean and we could rest peacefully after touring San Francisco 😊 I would stay again ☺️

The first time it was a good place to stay. The second stay time was HORRIBLE! Roaches crawling not just ONE but a few the parking lot was also horrible we payed an extra $10 dollar fee and we stayed outside for 30 minutes to an hour trying to figure out on how to fit our car other people had no consideration of others. We talked to the guy at the front desk and said he couldn’t do anything to help. LAST TIME!! Room was dirty their was Streaks of stool on the walls. Box of cigarettes and other drugs in the room. It smelled like cigarettes!

Ok. I booked this with Hotels.com. I never was able to check in. I bought this reservation using the websites \" what you see is what you pay\" feature. As is noted: ALL FEES AND TAXES INCLUDED!!! I get to the hotel and was informed of a 3-figure deposi: due at check-in! I was apoplectic. I explained where I booked, what the site/booking said, I even pulled up the hotel's OWN website .. None of which showed ANYTHING about a deposit. I didn't have the fee and tbh idk if I would have paid it based on the situation. It was also raining cats and dogs. I was drenched to the bone, including my belongings. And, I lost my license somewhere along the way. The manager wouldn't budge and I was forced to find lodging on the streets. I called the next day to hotels.com, they did their due diligence by calling the property to verify my claims. The property did so and had the temerity to refuse the refund. I kindly let hotels.com who was less than diligent in getting my refund that : 1. I booked with THEM and they were financially responsible. 2. That the entire situation was against California's SB-478; which makes it illegal for property owners booking sites etc to have hidden fees or undisclosed fees that all fees must be included at the time of booking. Hotels.com steel drug their feet when it came time to issue me my refund I had to go through you-know-what and high-water but through it I went. I was disappointed w/ Motel 6 and hotels.com agents and corporate. Disrespected on the whole.

I called ahead and told the man who answered that I would be there in 20 minutes. When I arrived, the office was empty with a note on the door saying they’d be back in 15 minutes. After at least 20 minutes of standing outside in the sun, a man drove up and got out of his car. After he checked me in, I asked where was the elevator. He said it was broken. I had to ask him to help me up the stairs with my large suitcase. The stairwell reeked of urine. Once in the room, it smelled bad and I saw that it was very grimey and the bedspread was ripped. Also, there was no Kleenex or toilet paper. There was no way I could stay there so I quickly found another motel and called a Lyft and left. Honestly, I couldn’t get out of there fast enough.

Paper thin walls, no amenities, loud rowdy area, cheap owner never fixes elevator, automatic lights turning on whenever you get up to use the restroom and off in the middle of you shower. No shower water pressure, limited hot water will run out on the second person in the shower. Large room amd comfortable bed is all that is good about it and location.

I am a travel, nurse & stay in hotels often sometimes inexpensive stays for a night. Doesn’t give it a reason to be an unsafe place. I was traveling with a mountain bike going through SF to Oregon. I stopped for a night to rest. Searched for a hotel where I can bring my bike into the rm. which I had on a bike rack on my car,I found this hotel. It had parking which made it very convenient, considering all the hotels around the area charge a lot. I was going to bring my bike into my rm. When I arrived, there was an out of service sign on the hotel elevator. I immediately expressed my concern to the front desk, guy with his blank stare. I’m healing from a total shoulder replacement and it was gonna make it almost impossible for me to haul my bike up two flights of steps. I complained asked if he was going to haul it up for me. Again no reply. last night when I walked to get something to eat I asked the front desk guy if he could just keep an eye on my bike because I couldn’t take it up to my room due to elevator, I got back from dinner, checked on the bike. Woke up this morning and my bike was stolen! The hotel is convenient to fisherman, but a bad area. & I’m from LA there is 11/2” gap under the door that is quite troublesome. Room was ok nothing special with stains on the comforter. I asked about cameras and he said they didn’t have any. I’m lucky my car wasn’t broken into. For a hotel this is unacceptable! Will not be using Expedia anymore! Do not book motel 6.

I would not leave anything valuable in your car. The parking situation is a little difficult. You do sometimes have to park two cars in front of each other. It is within walking distance to a couple of great coffee, shops, a market, Ghirardelli Square, and fisherman’s wharf. Overall, I would stay here again. It was great for the price.
