Location was fantastic, close to Chestnut restaurants and stores. Within walking distance to the ocean coast and wonderful parks nearby.

Parking was also included, which is why we chose the motel.

Staff was very helpful and courteous.

1.) The AC does not work correctly. It goes from cool to warm and it stinks from filth
2.) There is a large amount of dirt on the lamp shades by the bed, especially the back side
3.) There is a loose/sunken piece of flooring in the bathroom and the tub itself feels unsteady
4.) There is mold on the shower curtain
5.) There is rust on the light fixture and old toilet fitting in the bathroom
6.) There is no exhaust fan in the bathroom
7.) There is rust on the bedside lamps
8.) There is a large crack in the sink
9.) The water pressure is nonexistent
10.) The WIFI was dismal, at best. The fastest speed I saw was 5 mgb but it dropped to .5 mgb most of the time.

Dont judge a book by its cover. It may seem questionable from the outside but it's not. On the inside, the rooms are very clean and well maintained. Items look new. It had a great A/C and good water pressure. I felt safe and slept amazing. There's also public transits that stop by at the corner that go staight to the Peir 39 area.

If I had to give a small negative It would have to be that it's off a busy street so once in a while you would here cars.

The staff was excellent and very friendly. I give this place a 10/10 and would definitely stay again in the future.

Clean and well kept up, this place could use a little more comfort items like more towels, TP and I could have used tissues since I had the sniffles. There was a really strong odor of laundry detergent since our room was adjacent to their washers.

I did love that we had free parking and staff was friendly.

This is a very basic value motel which offers free parking. The room I was in was one of the farthest from the street, and it was quiet. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and the bathroom was perfectly functional. No frills. For the purpose of this trip it worked fine.

Stayed here for a couple of weeks. Bed is large and comfy, and the room is adequate with a little couch. The housekeepers are really nice. There's a little window for some sunlight though you'll want to turn on the light during the day. Great stay, no weird smells. Only thing is you will hear laughing/drunk people/bar music on the weekend nights but just turn on the ac/heater and it will drown them out haha.

Great location near the Marina, fun neighborhood with many places to eat within walking distance. Rooms are good typical no frills motel rooms, clean and well maintained. Parking was free and always available in the two lots, a little tight but no complaints for free abundant parking. We stayed in the family suite with two rooms, great space for family with kids. Had all the simple amenities.. We had no issues but arrived late and staff was always available and accommodating. Would stay here again in the future. A simple gem!

A nice and clean hotel for the one night stay. Bed was clean and comfy. Walking distance to coffee shops and restaurants. Parking it’s included with the room. very narrow push your side mirrors in. It’s a good hotel if you’re staying a night or two.

This is a decidedly average hotel. The rooms are clean enough, though on the smaller side. The beds are reasonably comfortable. The AC and mini fridge work fine. I never had trouble finding a parking space. The staff at the front desk were all reasonably friendly. The hotel is priced on the lower end for the area, and it's a nice area to stay while visiting SF.

But there were just so many little things that bugged me to the point I checked out early:

I found I wasn't able to get any work done on my laptop, in part because it was just a cramped work space with the desk chair practically bumping up against the bed - but more because the WiFi kept dropping off.

The TV just didn't work (aside from turning on and showing static). I didn't bother asking for assistance.

I don't like having to ring the bell any time I want to enter the front office.

I wasn't impressed that the person at the front desk couldn't explain to me how to make an outgoing call from the phone in the room. (For whatever reason, I couldn't get a signal on my cell phone.)

I was in a first-floor room and heard so much noise coming from the room above me. I can attribute only so much of that to the parties above me being loud; it seemed like the ceilings were just super-thin.

Bottom line is, there are better places to stay around here for around the same price. In a pinch, I might return, but my other go-tos would all have to be booked or charging a lot more.

This was a tough one between 3 or 4 Stars, but I reminded myself I only spent $101 stay here on a weekday night, which is a big bargain for San Francisco. When you pay for a Corolla, don't expect a Lexus RX350. When you get a steak at Applebee's don't expect a tender juicy porterhouse from Ruth Chris, you get what you pay for.

PROs:
-Clean room and bathroom, albeit it is an old building.
-Mini Fridge and Coffee Machine
-Air conditioning
-Safe neighborhood with dozens of restaurants, cafes, bars, and eateries in walking distance and all real local joints.
-Free Parking

CONs:
-Old building could use a fresh paint job
-Old rooms could use a refurbish.
-Very small room.
-Mattress could use replacing, but the sheets were clean and pillows nice.
-Definitely not for a romantic weekend getaway.

I might spend a little extra next time to stay somewhere nicer, but if you're on a budget this place will do just fine.

The facilities are fine. Clean and up-to-date for an older classic motel. Our bed really sagged on the side because the box springs are totally worn out. Not much problem when sleeping though. We stayed on a Saturday night and we were right at the top of the main stairs by the office. People were very noisy all night. I think there were some young people hanging out at the bottom of the stairs through the night. The motel is near a busy intersection. Although traffic was not heavy through the night, there were several loud cars and motorcycles with loud music, booming for several minutes at a time. If it were quieter, I would have rated this much higher. Bring earplugs!

Parking is horrible. The spots are not very big, no room to turn around you basically have to back all the way out of the parking lot into the street. Thankfully we got there when there wasn’t very many people there and we were able to turn our truck around and back into the spots. We didn’t drive anywhere until we left because of it, Took Lyft everywhere. The power went out our last night there for several hours. One of the staff members was super friendly, younger gentleman. The room itself was pretty ran down and not the cleanest. The pictures of the bathroom in the advertising did not match what it is. I’m not sure how it got an excellent rating on Expedia.

When we got into our room instead of being able to rest we found small dead bugs in the bed. Had to go to the front to ask for new sheets. Got a weak apology and moved to the next room over. We didn't even feel comfortable laying under the comforter.

Next day there was banging on the door. We ignored it. The banging persisted and got louder and wouldn't stop. I opened the door and there was a homeless man begging for a shower.

Parking lot was terrible to get in and out of. Would not stay here again.

This place was pretty good. Our room was very clean overall. The water pressure was great in the shower.

A/C, mini fridge, microwave all worked and clean. Other than that, restaurants were near by but you do have to drive or take public transportation to China town, pier 39, or fisherman’s wharf.

The room reeked of cigarette smoke, the smoke detector had been stolen, the tv was shattered and didn’t work, the bathroom floor tiles were cracked and the toilet was tipping sideways like it was sinking in the floor. At 4 am we were awoken by a domestic dispute of a couple screaming and yelling at each other for a good half hour. When I called the front desk, the person said “i don’t know what to do” and I said “could you call the cops?” He told me “you can call the cops, i don’t know what to do.” We were booked for two nights but we checked out early the next morning and refused to stay another night.

I arrived for an afternoon event at Fort Mason. Although my event started at 1:30 PM and check-in was after 3:00 PM, the front desk employee 'Eric' was extremely kind and said that it would be fine to leave my car in their parking area. That was a relief because I was planning to walk to Fort Mason from the Motel. The room was very comfortable. Everything worked as it should, (television, plumbing, hot water, etc., plenty of towels and a comfortable bed. Great location on Lombard Street with access to shopping and restaurants. Take a walk along Chestnut Street or go down to Marina Green and waterfront.

The motel is located in the downtown, it's walkable to popular areas with lots of dining options and public transport. I like that they have coin laundry facilities (they have the coins too). Free parking is also provided, which is rare in downtown SF. The only thing I feel unfortunate was my neighbor (3 men) were very noisy even at midnight and they were smoking and littering. Next time the staff should warn annoying people like them.
