A Place to remember in San Francisco

The site of the motel is unusual, located on the busy Lombard street it has access to good food and sites, They do place you with what room you first selected when you paid online or what is available. The rooms are cozy, working cable and amenities. It is fairly quiet and it feels very safe. Good place to stop at when staying in San Francisco for a few days..

Only redeeming things: GREAT LOCATION and PRICE!

This is the worst hotel we have ever stayed in! There were no bars of soap and none available, the pillows were rock hard flat, the heater did not work at all which I’m assuming also I meant there was no air conditioning if we had wanted that, The elevator was an antique that took forever, the parking spaces were extremely narrow, the towels were paper, thin, lije the flooring (we heard the people/music below us) and it took us anywhere from 3 to 8 tries to open the door! BUT: THE LOCATION IS GREAT!!

10/10 Exceptional

Almost perfect

Everything was fine…except that when we ran out of tissues, I requested another box and the cleaning lady kept answering « no more, no more ». So we had to buy our own replacement…

Could be better

Hotel was okay but needs work done the door had a gap in the bottom where the breeze would come in at night . Not all light fixtures worked, no hand soap available, tv remote was horrible and WiFi service was almost not existent!

Jenny, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I loved the location of the motel, the only thing I didn't like was that there was no coffee maker in the room, but without a doubt if I go back to San Francisco I will stay at the same motel

You can do better

The room was clean but it feels very old and in need of a makeover. If you’re thinking of going to SF and this is the only place you can afford, don’t go! Wait, save your money and stay somewhere better!!
Mallory, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is a safe, clean and affordable option in San Francisco. The motel is a short distance from many wonderful areas of the city, including the Presidio and Fort Mason, is a block from great restaurants and shops, and there is a bus stop right in front. The rooms are clean and while there is some visible wear and tear, I felt comfortable as a solo female traveler staying here.

Brandi, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Surf somewhere else

No coffee maker, fridge, iron, microwave, hair dryer, toiletries or phone. No maid service, so no beds were made. Plus no new towels...same towels for 3 days. One double bed in a very small room. Secondary door lock broken. Not at all what we expected. Worst ever.

A very good room. Solid B. A little on the older side but clean room. Shower could be better but still functional. Room was large and ac/heater worked. Loved the fridge and microwave. Would stay here again cuz it was affordable.
