Positives: location
Negatives: don't count on additional amenities. For us, wifi didn't work and this was big for someone who was planning to work remote. Room AC wasn't working which made room somewhat hot during the night. Management lacks motivation to address these issues as they know travellers will come for the location.
Overall: Works if you are just visiting SFO and doing just sight seeing.

Tight parking but decent for a motel to stay a couple days. San Francisco is not cheap at all so you get what you pay for here so I’d say it’s reasonable for the price and location.

The main problem was the noise. People were making a LOT of noise that kept us up until after 3:30 AM. I don't know if it was people on the street - it sounded more like other motel residents. But they were very loud.

It was logistically desirable. But next time, we will find a place where we can get some sleep.

Clean and simple. Just fine for resting your head after a day of exploring. Wouldn't say it's the most comfortable room if spending alot of time there as it's a bit tight. Good location though. Walking distance to marina and not far from Chinatown. Free parking is a bonus even if the real estate is on the cramped side.

Room was clean upon arrival, and staff came and cleaned up again throughout the day while room was empty. Parking was a little troublesome. Small spaces, not enough spaces, and getting out proved difficult if lot was full. Only true complaint is parking, but it's San Francisco so I didn't expect nothing grand.

For the location and price, if you're wanting to stay in a safe spot in the Marina district near to Golden Gate Bridge, it gets the job done without complaints. Especially good if you're solo. Very small (enough room just for a bed and small desk), but they seem renovated giving the age of the motel itself. For the amount of noise going nearby at bars, it was pretty quiet for me to sleep. Parking exists but its very tight. Thankfully I didn't have a car. Good experience overall.

This is a great place to stay and save money. The room was very clean. The property felt very safe and even though you are surrounded by the busy city it was surprising quiet in our room. The only thing I would warn someone about is the windows. The window has a blind shutters which looks cute but does zero to block out any light. The rooms face the sunset so as soon as the sun comes up your room getting very bright. We found it impossible to sleep once the sun came up.

As other reviewers have stated, the parking is VERY narrow. Plan on pulling into the back, turning around, and backing into a parking spot. There is more parking on the left side of the building. We were not very hopeful upon pulling up due to the locale, but we were pleasantly surprised by how nice the room was. For a one-night stay, it was more than adequate. Plenty of restaurants to walk to. It was a bit of a haul, but we walked to the marina area to see the bridge and Alcatraz. Even with a bad hip, I made it ok. If you are city savvy, the buses run right through the area to get to other areas to see the sights.

This is our second time at this property. The first time our room was great, no issues. This time, not so good. They did renovate their rooms ( floors, shower)but ours came with a dilapidated table. They could have put a bigger table and a bigger nightstand, the room had space for bigger table and nightstand. On our last night there were a couple of ants inside the bathroom. I did not bring it to their attention since we were too tired to transfer to another room.
Pros: Great location, lots of eateries nearby and the marina is closeby. Free parking also (can be tight for SUV’s and larger vehicles). Friendly and accommodating staff.

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.

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.

That was a relief because I was planning to walk to Fort Mason from the Motel. The room was very comfortable.
