Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This motel was poorly run. Front end staff were less than friendly, the room was run down and falling apart- rusty rotting light fixtures, run down beat up mattresses, the bathroom door was rotting off the hinges, the cupboard was stuck closed because of the humidity; the bathroom vent was not working, no window for airing out , the shower floor drain was plugged with other people’s hair; the tv was stuck on one channel with a dead remote. and they never cleaned our room once during our stay. When I said something they dismissed it and were rude. Definitely don’t recommend this place ever- even if it was semi-close to minor amenities…

The shower water never got remotely warm for me. Must be a small heater shared with everyone. No towels on arrival. We had to request some the next morning. The TV remote felt like it hadn't been cleaned in years. Very sticky. Suuuper tight parking, but at least it's included on the price of the stay. Great location though. Walking distance to restaurants and Walgreens, and a 5-10 min drive to most SF attractions.

Room was filthy, towels had stains, hair and lint on the floor, bedding had stains, door knobs and doors had stains, shower curtains had stains. Staff was not the friendliest very stale interactions. Only good thing was the location in the marina. I should have dished out the extra $20-30 bucks to stay in a nicer place.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The best thing going for this property was the safe, convenient parking. Though clean as far as I could tell, the place is pretty bare bones and on the tired, run down side. The pillows were flat, lifeless pancakes. The mattress was in need of replacing. The cords were cut in the place where the hair dryer should be and it appeared the hair dryer may have been stolen at one time. Fixtures around the room showed some significant rust. Just a poor old property that’s seen better days.

Linens and room were clean but run down. Rust on lamps, bathroom door had loose hinges so didn’t close well, room door needed weather stripping so light and air came in. There was very minimal parking that was first come, first serve. We were able to get a spot but definitely don’t count on it. The area was fine, easy to get the bus to destinations, very walkable.
