Reviews
The hotel is generally praised for its cleanliness, comfortable beds, friendly staff, and convenient location with easy parking. However, some guests have complained about the tired property, lack of breakfast, and poor water pressure in showers.

This motel was totally not what I expected. In my opinion it needs some serious updating and remodeling.

The room was clean, parking was free in a garage, and staff were helpful.

Request a room on the backside of the hotel away from Lombard St. It can get noisy. Otherwise, it is conveniently located and having free parking is a pllus.

Check in was weird doing it with someone on a camera. Place is okay. Main reason I booked was the free parking. They have tried to make the hotel updated which is nice.

Great location. Too noisy. Checking out was via a computer in the lobby with a screen. I’m not sure if the person on the screen was someone in USA or in another country. There was a strong curry smell. Best was the free parking.

It was different speaking to a virtual front desk staff member. This took away the feel of being welcomed into a hotel. Although I had no issues, it did not feel as welcoming and I did have to repeat myself multiple times.

Great to have parking available at the hotel. The smell of the cleaning products used was too intense. My husband ended up with a sinus infection as he is allergic to almost all perfume fragrances. When we stayed there a month ago we did not have this issue.

It’s an ok place for the price. No issues with parking, but the walls are thin, couldn’t sleep with the above people walking all night. Not a place for light sleepers.
- 3.5/5
The room was huge and the staff was great. They accommodated early check-in as well. Shops were very close walk. The website showed a sauna in photos but it has not been built yet. I wish there was a mirror in the area outside the bathroom and the light switches were a bit hard to find. We could hear the kids running above us pretty loudly. There were no dishes or utensils.

Room was clean, and staff was helpful. The location was great! The place was a little dated but nothing terrible.
- 4/5
The location was quite central - at least convenient to get around by car. Parking was included and readily available. Comfortable beds (soft but good support), spacious rooms, spacious bathroom and decent water pressure. The windows were not soundproof and the road was kind of noisy even at night, which is expected given the price. Check-in was virtual (a call with a staff online), which felt weird, and they forgot to give us a receipt with our room number and the wifi password, so we had to ask separately.

It’s in a good location, 24 hour check is great and free parking . Only complaint I had was I wish the vending machines took card they only take cash.
- 2.5/5
For a non smoking facility people were smoking in there rooms. The smoke got into our room do to the gaps around the door. There was no stool to sit on in the handicapped shower. The virtual check in was not very good could not here the person due to the outside noise.
- 4/5
Had a quiet spacious king size deluxe room that faced the back. Probably would have been noisy if the room were on the front street side as Lombard is quite busy. Nice garden in the back. Lobby is small but lots of natural light with big picture windows. Small but convenient parking lot in the basement if you have a car. Got a mobile discount price.
- 0.5/5
Noisy and dirty room with old and decaying fixtures. We couldn't sleep because of bad stench in the room and noise from the road. Dirty carpets throughout the hotel. No one present at the lobby which had it's shutters down. No response after multiple rings as well. Would never use this place again. Not sure how it got it ratings and stars.

Great location close to all the attractions Loved that The Big bus tour stop right in front of the hotel
- 4/5
Location, value. and free parking were great. The outdoor garden area and sitting area with rooftop access were nice for our kiddo to have a spot to reset. Housekeeping was super friendly and helpful to get us extra pillows for sofa sleeper and replenish towels daily. The bathroom photo listed onsite is not accurate. I was told this was a photo image where it makes it look bigger, but no bathroom is big in size except handicap accessible rooms. We were on the first floor street side and traffic was super loud. We were grateful for trees outside our room for visual privacy, but the noise was a full day's adjustment and medication needed for our autism spectrum child. Be sure to ask for a higher floor, interior room if you want to sleep.

It was clean and comfortable. No front desk service in person
- 4/5
I enjoyed how close it was to so many things. It had such a lovely view and everything was clean. The parking is tight and it's first come first serve. The shower is such a tiny stall with an extremely high shower head that I'm not sure how you can properly clean yourself as a 5'2" human! All the staff were great but don't attempt to find anyone in the morning for assistance as the only person you can find is streaming in the kiosk next to the desk and can only check you in.
- 2/5
The only reason for my rating is the bed. The bed was absolutely awful. Beyond firm. I honestly felt I would have been better off sleeping on the floor. The pillows only provided so much relief. All that to say because of that, I slept awful. Otherwise, room was clean, property seemed nice just enough parking to park my truck.
- 0.5/5
Location was fine There is no front desk person/concierge. They have a kiosk connected to someone outsourced overseas. It was incredibly slow and ineffective. Service was 1/10.

Only in town for business for one night. Location is really great, there is free garage parking which we needed, and the reception staff was really nice. While the rooms are a little outdated and basic, they are exceptionally clean. The mattress is firm and we actually had one of the best sleeps there. Outlets, wifi all worked. Really great value and would totally stay here again. Great small Indonesian coffee shop one block away, and just a few walking blocks from Union St where there are restaurants and bars. Area also felt safe even at midnight. 1. Parking is first come first served. The spaces are also mostly compact; we had a Jeep Compass for reference. We were fortunate to grab one of the last spots when we checked in late! 2. Just be careful if you are using the stairs instead of the elevator (we only did because we were one flight up from reception lobby, not because there was any issue with elevator which was working fine). The stairs are carpeted with a pattern that sort of visually makes it hard to see the step. Wasn't an issue for us otherwise.

Love everything about this hotel, it’s not fancy but has everything you need and great amenities. You can tell they care about the property because they are constantly fixing and updating everything. Our family has been coming here forever and it’s our home base in SF. Love the garden and the rooftop area at every season.

~ good location; clean; with parking on site (limited space) Cons: ~checked in was done on line (somewhat like a zoom conference) via a computer in the hotel lobby. The person checking in is not local (out of the country). It was time consuming as there is only one computer for everyone in the hotel. No available hotel personnel at all to answer questions. ~ bathroom tiles broken/loose; toilet bowl too low. ~Inside our room a side panel of a cabinet fell on the floor. Reported the incident through the same computer system. I was told it will be fixed yet no one came to fix it. The whole idea of just talking to a computer was very frustrating. It felt cold and unwelcoming. I would have not booked this hotel had I known that this is their system.

It’s an old hotel but it’s okay. Good location and the staff helped us with a problem on our room on my last day. There is a tourist bus stop just at the hotel door. You can go walking to nice places from there (pier and narrow lombard street)

Clean rooms, there's a cool place to hang out on the roof. Good walking distance to marina, fisherman's wharf or city center. Safe neighbourhood. Good value for money.
- 2.5/5
The check in and out process is through a video process with what I think was a human being.
- 4/5
The location is great! About a 30 minute walk to Fisherman's Warf, the bus is right outside the hotel. The room had one pull put sofa bed, two queen beds, and a regular couch. Clean. Free parking, it is a tight fit and first come first serve. We parked and didn't move until we checked out. The beds were pretty firm. If you like a firm mattress then this is good for you, for me it was way too hard.

We have stayed multiple times here and have been pleased with both it's location and amenities. This time however, the check in is a Kiosk with an AI (real?) person to assist. FORGET IT! Just an awful experience. I can't believe that they think people are going to OK with this. It created long lines. No one is quite sure what the heck to do or answer. PLEASE- bring back humans! Along with the fact that the hotel is starting to see signs of wear this was a mitigating factor that we will probably NOT be back again.

Our room was not the best. We had to ask daily to get our room cleaned. The shower head had terrible pressure. The staff was nice. But for a family of 5, we will not be coming back ever.

Rooms were clean, bed was a bit firm though. Property was a little old but otherwise is decent condition. Our bathroom did have a loose tile that made the toilet off balance, but since we were barely there we didn’t notice. Lobby was a bit dated, but check in was fairly easy. Also MUNI being right out our door was a plus

This is a little hidden gem in San Francisco. We stayed one night and enjoyed the location, free parking, and the cleanliness of our room. It’s an older building but is well maintained and taken care of. Our king room was spacious and faced Lombard Street with a big bay window. There is a full sized refrigerator in the room that was a nice touch. The bed was comfy and had a mattress encasement. The garden in the back is a really cool place to sit and enjoy the warm weather we experienced on our stay. Overall I found the front desk to be very friendly and accommodating to our needs. I really appreciated their hospitality and would definitely stay here again. It’s a great value for a good location and a clean, friendly place to stay.

We actually enjoyed the virtual check in people. They always waved and said hi on our way in and out. We got a laugh out of it. Loved the rooftop, we took over the space up there every night and every morning. The view is beautiful. The hotel is clean and comfortable. Get there as early as possible for free parking. Just don’t take a big ass truck like we did cuz the space is tight in the upstairs and downstairs lots. Only place we will stay in SF!!!!

Upon early arrival we went to see if an early check in was available and discovered that a virtual agent is now being used. Speaking to someone on a monitor lessened the impression. We were not able to check in early so when we arrived later someone else was present and assisted us in person while another person was at the monitor being checked in by the virtual agent. I felt bad because he was still trying to navigate the process after my check in was complete. It is just more difficult when you are not in person with someone. The room and stay were sufficient, but some aspects could use some updating in the room such as the mirror above the sinks peeling frame. It is a very central location for our needs and convenient with parking.

The whole experience was amazing, from the very helpful & friendly staff, to the very clean, spacious rooms. The hotel is centrally located to the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf, & other areas of SF all of which are within walking distances. An added bonus is free parking at the hotel-:) I enjoyed my stay there, & had no issues at all. I will definitely stay at this hotel again when I’m in SF-:)

We have stayed here before, we had business at the Greek Consulate and we were able to walk there from the hotel. Nice to have secure parking. The only issue was that they didn't offer a microwave in the room, it shows in the listing that for $10 you could get a microwave which we requested but they weren't able to provide one.

This hotel is not worth $160/night, nor is it worth an 8 points... It is a very ran down old motel 6, with doors damaged, half a.s fixed bathroom, with painted over mold ceiling and walls. The carpet both in room and hallway was over a decade old... Very ran down... Not worth anything over $60/night and less than a 5 points

Great Value on Lombard Street, down the hill from the crooked street. Good service, clean, blackout curtains help since Lombard Street is actually US 101 from Van Ness to Golden Gate Bridge, so busy. Great Motor Inn, free parking and WiFi, good restaurants near by, not far from the Marina District, and Marina Green park.

A good budget place to stay in SF by the bay. They don't serve breakfast in the morning but there are local breakfast places, coffee shops, and restaurants nearby within walking distance. No special amenities or anything but they have a coffee maker in your room. Would stay again next visit.

Staff were kind and helpful during check in and check out. However parking was difficult; it might’ve been because it was a holiday weekend or weekend in general but we had to park on the street because all slots were taken. The amenities in our room are outdated and not the best (air conditioner/heater, shower pressure, mattress was hard). Room and bathroom were spacious though. Walkable distance to dining options and in the middle of many points of interest.

Walls are thin, you can hear noise from the other guests and traffic from Lombard street. I sleep like a rock so that did not affect me. But if you wake up easily this might not be the place for u. This place worked for me due to the proximity of many attractions in the city.

We were pleasantly surprised that our quite reasonably priced room was spacious, clean, and perhaps because it was not facing thee street was quite quiet. Now, our window view was another building 3-4' away but that was little sacrifice for the quietness. We had no difficulty parking in the garage area each of our 3 nights there, another huge plus!

Now, our window view was another building 3-4' away but that was little sacrifice for the quietness. We had no difficulty parking in the garage area each of our 3 nights there, another huge plus!

The photos are NOT accurate. The carpets were filthy. The room was much smaller than what appears in the photos. The room was sprayed with a potent spray to cover the dirty conditions. I did not feel safe. DO NOT STAY HERE!! I also purchased the travel insurance through hotels.com which was a joke. I paid $50 and was only refunded $100 from my cancelation. There are a million better places to stay. I was forced to book this hotel due to DreamForce and paid almost $1000 for two nights and did not stay. I travel to SF 2x a month for work and have stayed in very nice hotels and humble hotels. My top priority is safety and cleanliness, of which this hotel has neither. Please please please do not stay here.

Property rated as 8.2. no way! Room we got had sink outside bathroom and you could touch all 4 walls inside bathroom without moving your feet. photos showed a couch, no room for one in our room. Not a single photo showed a room like ours was possible. I had Expedia on the fone to move hotel as not what was represented but it was already late at night and we had driven 12 hours to get there. Toughed it out. I was very worried about losing the parking spot as it was VERY VERY limited for the number of rooms and no nearby parking for any amount of money!.

The room was pretty spacious and clean. The ice maker on our floor wasn't working so we had to go to another floor for ice. Parking is tight and limited but we were happy to find a spot and used ride share so we didnt lose the space. They claimed there was a communal microwave but we got told otherwise when we asked to use one. It was an enjoyable stay.

Such a great property to stay at. We kept our vehicle safely parked for a couple of days while we checked out San Francisco. The virtual check in lady was so great, I wasn’t sure if she was AI at first and she had a good chuckle with me. We will stay here again when we come back.

For a budget stay, with secure free parking, I’m not sure what more you can ask for. Minutes from Marina District and a few blocks from Union St.

We visited to the whole tourists thing in the area. Three adults and 4 kids age 10,8,7,and 6. We walked everywhere not having to get rides to go anywhere. Also, we took the bus tour and there is a stop right outside the front door of this place. Staff was all friendly and we will stay here the next time we go back!

Room was very clean and mattress was comfortable. The place could use some freshening as it is dated. Parking can be an issue as there are limited spaces. Also not a lot of late night options for food in the area. Staff was also very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again.

Excellent location! Very friendly staff! The parking is tight but very doable and they are very accommodating with it. The garden and the rooftop are added bonuses. The rooms aren’t anything special but they are clean and comfortable. The hotel is very Sam Francisco and quaint. I enjoyed it very much.

The property was in a good location. It was safe and room was big. The property seems a little old, but it was ok. The bathroom was a bit small but but it has the necessary. As to parking there is little parking we chose not to take out our car to avoid losing our spot, and just ubered and walked.

We arrived at hotel is late. Trying to find a pace to eat, however, we walked a mile only saw few limited small cafes. We didn't want to drive because it only has limited parking space. Don't want to lost parking spot. And the bed isn't comfortable either.

I called the property to cancel due to illness three days before check in, Tessa said wait a day for expedia to reach out to us, she said she would cancel but it’s thru expedia so we have to wait, I called back the next day first to expedia then the property they put it off on one another. they denied our request to reschedule or cancel. Sheisty.

The location of this hotel made it worth the stay. it's a few blocks from the Marina District with lots of dining and shopping. It's a little over a mile from Pier 39 and the Uber ride was quick to get there. There are 3-4 coffee shops easily walkable for breakfast. It is an older hotel with low water pressure and nothing fancy, but it is clean and serves its purpose nicely.

My mother and I stayed here for 2 nights at the beginning of our trip through california. Front desk staff were polite, helpful and timely. They have on site parking, but keep in mind there are limited spots. We arrived on a monday right at check in and there were plenty available. Secure and clean premises. We felt completely safe. The room was very nice and clean. Everything in working order, including coffee maker. Ours was room 207, overlooking the street. It does get very noisey, but we preffered that, and drowned out most of it with the A/C unit. Its only a short jog to tons of restaurants, the trolley path, and the piers. I highly emjoyed and recommend their 3rd floor patio area overlooking the city and view of the golden gate bridge. Thank you for a great experience!

The staff were polite and accommodating to the best of their ability. The room I had was on the 1st floor and facing the street, I heard every car, truck, emergency vehicle and conversation that went by. If you’re a light sleeper you should ask for a room towards the back when booking. The curtains in my room for not completely close on the ends so you could see up into the room from the street ( yes I went outside and looked) so I had to pin the curtain to the wall. Other than that it was a nice clean room with a comfy bed in a good location. Parking is 1st come 1st serve so get there early.

Enjoyed our stay! The staff are all kind and helpful. We enjoyed the sitting area on the 3rd floor near our room as well as the outdoor terrace. Our room was clean. We had a refrigerator but not a microwave. There was a coffee maker but we did not use it. They gave us a discount card for a coffee shop down the road which was cute and very good. The beds were quite firm which for me wasn’t the most comfortable but that just comes down to preference. I would definitely stay again.
