Clean and convenient
The room was clean and we had enough room. They advertised breakfast and they said they stopped doing that last year. That was one factor why we chose that hotel. So that info needs updated. Even showed pics of breakfast being served.

Excellent place, truly a gem.
The room was clean and spacious. Front desk staff were very friendly and efficient. Free parking was nice obviously but the parking area was clean, well-lit, and on-site which in SF is truly impressive. The garden is tranquil and lovely. Will stay here every time om in the city.

It was great, we had a nice night. The shower knob was different than I am used to, there are instructions on the opposite wall of the knobs though for those of you confused like I was. I loved that they use the soap dispensers instead of disposables. The carpets are a lil smelly, but it was clean if that makes sense. Not complaining but I have a stronger nose than most people. Our stay was great!

We stayed our last night in SF on 10/14. My experience was great. Large room, clean, shampoo/conditioner/body wash in the bathroom. The motel is what you pay for. It's in the city not sure why people expect it to be quiet. Normal sounds from a big city. Didn't bother us we slept just fine. The younger gentleman that assisted me at check in was nice, polite and patient as I had a bit of an issue with room key. I love that check out was at 12 pm gave us time to shower and get ready for the day. Older gentleman at check out was super nice and had a smile on his face the whole time.
