The room wasn’t ready at check in, had to wait to get in. Door knobs were falling off on the bathroom doors. Was poorly cleaned. It is in a nice area so that was cool. The family room was big enough for my family.

The location has plenty of views on to Lombard street with lots of weather to see from the balconies. It's clean and somewhat cozy. Not always friendly or with plenty of ammenites but it is fairly quiet and has good bath and shower facilities and cable TV. Always like to go back.

Yes it was in good condition maybe a bit dated but i think this is the motel vintage style. Staff was great and helpful. For the price in that popular area I really can not complain. Walking distance to golden bridge and palace of fine art.

Perfect location. The place is cozy, clean, and modern. It’s close to the ocean, and you can hear the waves from the room. Parking is right by the units. I appreciated having a fridge and microwave. Everything was well kept. I’ll stay here again whenever I’m in between places in Central California. No AC. They did have a ceiling fan.

4/10 Fair

The room was rundown and in terrible condition. Mold all over ceiling in room and heating didn’t work and we froze. We got moved to a different room the next day and it was slightly better. Total of 5 nights and it was a struggle, beds were not comfortable and pillows flat as could be. Mirror in bath was broken and hair dryer didn’t work. Best I can say is location is awesome and good parking available. Room was cheap and rough shape.
Toilet wasn’t attached properly to floor and moved around. Bottom of mirror missing and hair dryer didn’t work.
Mold in 2nd room on handicap shower bench.
Bed was uncomfortable and pillows were worthless.
