Very clean room. Staff checked me in efficiently. Wi fi was fast. Restaurants and bars in neighborhood were friendly and full of locals enjoying their evening. Room was basic but comfortable and clean. Will stay there again.
This little motel is located in a quiet area very close to the beach. There were also few cute shops and eateries within walking distance. The staff were friendly and able to get us our rooms early after east coast flight arrivals. The rooms were spacious and I really appreciated the skylight in the bathroom on the top floor and peek of the sea from my room. The large windows were perfect although light sleepers might find it challenging with the sound of the trolley on the street below. All in all it was a lovely stay at what felt like a cute family hotel by the sea.
The room was very clean. But parking was not good for people that stayed there

Staff was really helpful and accommodating. The only thing that is tight is parking. First come first serve.

Located just a couple of blocks from the beautiful beach with an Irish pub Nextdoor. 3 stories and no elevator. The bed and pillows were comfy and our car did not get broken into while parked overnight in the hotel’s lot in back. This hotel is old but clean. The front desk is manned 8am to midnight.
It gets 5 stars not because its a 5-star motel (motel not hotel) it gets 5-stars because location wise and time of year it was a great value and reasonable overall price for an outer sunset place to stay during new years. Walking to java beach every morning brings me back
We really liked the staff, the room, the parking, and the location - it was awesome being so close to the beach and right on the N Judah Streetcar line, which makes it so easy to go anywhere in SF. (we only had a rental car one day of our stay). We would have liked to have a bedside lamp, that was the only amenity the room. lacked. Loved having 4 plugs for my two laptops and my sisters and my phones. It was clean and comfortable and that staff were very helpful.
the front office staff is amazing! the room is spotless and cozy. 120/10 will always stay here during my travels

Be forewarned this hotel is loud, our room was directly above the bar and the music didn't stop until 2am. Parking is hard, if the lot is full (the lot is tiny). We circled the block several times and ended up in a sketchy spot.
This is definitely not an ideal hotel for families but it works as a dive motel and somewhere to lay your head down at the end of the night.
Clean room! Hot water! Comfy bed & feather pillows! I don’t care about an outdated pink bathtub, it was huge. I would stay again. One thing is the cali tram is right out the window yet I still slept hard.

Not the place to stay if you need a good night’s sleep due to bar noise. The room itself was fine.
