Place was OK for a budget motel. Wifi does not work for streaming of any sort. Brought my firestick hoping my streaming services would work... Nope. When tried with my mobile device later, it wouldnt even "surf". Couldnt even check my email on their wifi. Had to use my providers internet. Whatever. Elevator scared us enough off the first run that we wouldnt take it again. We weren't sure it was gonna let us go so we walked every other time. Beds were ok. Not bad nor good. Rooms were like a 70s motel. Attempts have been made to update them, but not enough effort. The TV was small for the room. Fridge has been in there for 10 years and been abused. AC unit ran, but it wasnt cold. Could hear the people next door easily. Especially since they just screwed a amoure to the door between the rooms to prevent that. Possitives include Mels diner and Home Plate a block or so away. Its a cheap (especially for SF) crash pad, hot showers, and its walkable to the warf and bridge IF youre willing to put in some steps. Its also far enough away that after midnight its very quiet, but loud come 8am. Not their fault. Not a lot to do close by for night life. But good area for breakfast, and just close enough to the warf if you're willing to walk 20 minutes without too much up and down. About a 6 overall.

I accidentally booked a king sized "smoking" room. It was my own mistake. Even counting that, the rooms are run down, the HVAC filters were filthy (I asked them to clean them and then did but it took 2 days.) There was a .5" gap under the door leading outside. The "blanket" was a thin sheet and the extra blanket in the closet was very gross looking and was saturated with smoke smell. The bathroom didn't have a working fan or a window. Everything was kind of slimy/tacky from smoking.

Easy access to transit, the location has a great selection of eats, drinks & shopping. There is parking if needed. The motel staff were nice and accommodating, the room was about as expected, the bed wasn’t the most comfortable and no fan in the bathroom. The key card issue really needs to be addressed.

Nice area / Affordable
My family and I stayed at this hotel for our San Francisco trip. Staff was very nice and courteous, it was a nice stay. The room was clean, tidy and very roomy (we stayed in the "family room with suite"). Very affordable, very close to restaurants, pharmacy, grocery store movie theater. Short drive to golden gate bridge. We spent most our "stay" out enjoying the city.

I stayed in this hotel for two nights and the location is great. It is close on a driving distance to Pier 39, The Golden Gate, and other places. There were a couple of things that I didn't like with the hotel and the room for example the room didn't have the lock on top of the door to secure it from the inside. The AC barely worked and the room was hot when we got there. The elevator didn't work, and I had to walk down to the office a couple of times because the key didn't open. The guy in the office was helpful. It was also quiet at night, didn't hear noise. There was no hair dryer in the room that I was given and the room also had a foul smell.
