The price was very reasonable. Although we patronized none, there were many interesting businesses close by. We only needed a bed for the night, and that's all we expected. We were not disappointed. We didn't use it, but an elevator was available.

I'm not sure what kind of vehicles they expect to be parking in their lot, but it was almost impossible for us to get out of our vehicle once parked. And, we have only a midsize. Would make good motorcycle parking spaces, though.

Nothing The bus stop is right in front of the motel We can get anywhere we want to go easily We generally park our vehicle on site and take bus all week Part of the fun

Perfect location - it's a famous Lombard street! A lot of public transport routes nearby, close enough to piers, easy to get here from Salesforce Transit Center (bus station). Responsive stuff, comfortable bed, microwave and fridge inside the room. No problem to store luggage before check in. There is an elevator to easily bring heavy luggage to upper levels. Wi-Fi is fast enough. Both inside and outside everything looks like in the movies.

Hotel was better than expected. Ofcourse its a motel but we arrived at Midnight and got someone to help us out quick and friendly.elevator is rather small with luggage but at least there. We had a big nice bed and a minifridge to help us out for some cold drinks whenever we felt like it. Bathroom was fine. Location was perfect for us with public transport very close and if you feel like it, pier 39 van be walked

There were some open spaces around the door and the bathroom is slightly outdated but worked fine. Expect simple and you will get all you need

Cute clean and worth it with great rates I wish hotel makeover could help them out with affordable room updates and amenities like microwave coffee maker and ways to secure your door while sleeping or away but just the touristy amenities and toiletries like hand soaps lotions in case visitors forget those things as home. Other wise rates are awesome and rooms are decent .

Locks to secure doors at night are either broke or half missing

There are plenty of restaurants around this location. I love the parking spaces (although not guaranteed). The staff was very friendly. New cameras around the premises.

It's San Francisco, so don't expect quiet anywhere in the city. The towels they provide are very thin and small and you do have to track someone down for clean towels in exchange for dirty ones. The rooms are a little outdated and need some work; one had a broken shower curtin and no working vent or screen on the window. One room had a very old refrigerator and a flickering bathroom light, and our 3rd room smelled like jalapeños? But if you're going to be out most of the day, this place is great to sleep and door dash some treats. We took some lysol and clorox wipes for our own peace of mind :)

Honestly I liked that it was clean , the front desk were super helpful when we arrived and when one of our keys weren’t working. It’s right around the corner of a taco shop and just a 10 min walk from a pizzeria.

The only kind of bad thing is it’s super limited in parking so if there’s no space you’ll have to park somewhere else. Luckily we got there when the lot wasn’t full just yet
