Reviews
The hotel has a great location with easy access to local attractions, restaurants, and parking. However, the rooms are outdated and in need of renovation, with frequent complaints about cleanliness and maintenance issues.

Easy to walk to Pier 39 and other waterfront attractions. Good restaurants closeby on Polk. Uphill walk to Lombard Street. The room was spacious and clean. Bed was comfortable. Great to have parking included as it's expensive to park and difficult to find. A couple of smaller stores for groceries.

Careful with the”free parking” advertisement. Location, basically. Rooms are big, somehow renewed but painted over the mold. The check-in staff were unfriendly and not accommodating. Parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis; however, there appears to be no oversight of how vehicles are parked, resulting in some spaces being blocked. The issue is not the vehicles themselves, but the lack of clear parking guidance and management. When I raised this concern with staff, the only suggestion provided was to park on the street and pay for parking. No alternative solutions or assistance were offered.

Very nice inn perfectly placed in one of the nicest area of San Francisco. It's a short walk from a lot of attractions and if you don't feel to walk, public transport is around the corner and very cheap! Our room was big and well furnished with microwave, coffee machine & fridge. Also the bathroom was spacious and functional. Free parking was also a plus for us, as we arrived by car. Highly recommended! To be picky, you have to wait a bit too much before the hot water arrives the shower.

The room was big and comfortable for four people - there were also a fridge and a microwave. It's close to the pier 33 by foot They have a small parking on which we did not fit. The staff told us to park on the road and then move the car in the morning when someone checks-out. That was a bit stressful

it was 1 night stay. I like the price, nice location, bus stops near the hotel, free parking. It was clean and rooms are renovated. Check-in was from 3 p.m., but we were able to check in a little earlier. I really appreciated that as we had a long flight from NYC. 2 things: A 150$ deposit, but it was refunded quite quickly (within 3–4 days). In other hotels they usually just place a card authorization. We went for breakfast and when we came back for our luggage at 11:02, our key cards no longer worked. It wasn’t a problem for staff to open the room, and we were still able to leave our luggage at the reception to go for a walk and see the Pier, but it was the first time I’ve experienced cards being deactivated so quickly. Maybe it's for security reasons but felt strange.

Clean room with mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and free parking! Loved it!! We walked everywhere, but we are walkers. We did have our car just in case. The shower works, first night took about 15 minutes to get hot but be patient, it works! Next 2 days it was hot immediately, no problems.

I selected this hotel for its free parking and close proximity to a couple of key places, gym and foreign embassy. I was pleasantly surprised that the neighborhood is very walkable with lots of cafes, restaurants and fitness studios nearby. I requested and got a room towards the back away from the street so it was pretty quiet. Room was renovated and had good organization. Our room was on 2nd floor and you could hear movement/footsteps from the unit upstairs on 3rd floor. The ground floor is parking so we didn’t have anyone below us fortunately.

We choose this location for the price and recommendations of the area being safer than others. The room was clean and basic. Seems as if they had done some remodeling on it and didn’t finish. Some walls were half painted. We had paid for 2 nights as we had tickets for Alcatraz and didn’t want any of our belongings in the car but were not planning on staying the second night. Well Alcatraz got cancelled and we checked out at 10:30am with nothing offered to us at all. It’s a fairly inexpensive place to stay but not fancy at all and the bed was rather firm.

The only reason I’m giving this 3 stars is because I paid via Expedia. I was told there would be a $200 deposit on my card (which is fine). That $200 posted on my account and then they’re currently holding another $200 pending charge. All together for 3 nights. 2 - $200 holds plus $561 Expedia charge. Kinda wild for a motel.

This hotel was easy to find, had off street parking without charge, and had nicely set up, clean rooms that seemed recently renovated. It was very close to restaurants and there was a Walgreens nearby. Also there was a cheese shop on one corner and an upscale steakhouse on the other corner (each steps away from the entrance). We just needed to be here 1 night for an event and it fit our needs. There was 1 desk chair, a desk area with 2 outlets and 2 USB ports a refrigerator and microwave, single cup coffee maker, nice bedside lighting for reading, 2 open outlets and usb ports on each side of the bed, and open shelving for unpacking which decreases the chance of leaving things behind.
