I felt I needed to post this review to warn others that this motel is not very clean( among other things) especially room 215. I stayed one night in 215. I awoke in the morning to see ROACHES crawling out of the vents in the microwave, they were also on the wall. I don't even want to think about where... more

I arrived on a Thursday night for a 4 night stay. I had reserved a room 2 months in advance. When I arrived the rude a-hole at the desk first tried to tell me that I wasn't even in the system. Then once I showed him the print out that confirmed the reservation, he said that he had no rooms.... more

Who knew such an inexpensive quaint little motel would be tucked blocks from Fisherman's Wharf? What we got for $70 a night: clean comfortable bed (better than some high-priced hotels), bus stops on the corner, free off-street parking, free wireless Internet, microwave and refrigerator. Staff was friendly and helpful. An adequate continental breakfast of pastries and fruit was enough to... more

Room was clean and tidy with good furnishing but not large. Parking is cramped so you leave the keys at reception so they can move your can if necessary, this was fine. The best thing is the location and price. We strolled down lombard street (curly bit) and onto pier 39 and it took about 20 mins of walking. The... more

We were going there for my son's wedding and had a car so the free parking was great. The location was equally great and Mona, the desk clerk, was who my boyfriend talked to on the phone initally, was great. She was helpful with directions, local transportation and maps to help us with our first time in San Francisco. The... more

Ok hotel, excellent location, great price... enjoyed my stay here. Only a 7 minute walk to Fisherman's wharf, and a very nice staff. Nice rooms with lots of cable channels... Only bad thing was that the light switches would not work upon returning from the day. Called up front, they sent a man to fix it within minutes, but never... more

Hotel has a good location, nice sized rooms, well maintained, clean, free parking. The owners have obviously invested a lot in the hotel (considerating its location). So, why after all that, would you hire the worst desk clerks ever? Upon check in, the first clerk initially refused to give me two (plastic keycard-type) keys to the room. When I persisted... more

I would definitely NOT stay here again. The walls were paper thin, the beds very uncomfortable, the bathroom smelled like urine, the coffee maker was dirty, the room was very cramped, and the décor very dreary and dated. On top of all that, it was not inexpensive at $134 a night for Labor Day weekend 2005. The only plus was... more

We spent 2 nights here in mid- March. Not as bad as the reviews had me expecting. The rooms are basic but fairly clean. Motel staff were very helpful; quickly providing additional pillows and a missing chair from my room(??) . Very good coffee in the motel lobby in the morning. I would likely find a hotel more on the... more
