The reason you’re there is for the price. It’s a bit of a dive. The room is clean. The TV is a bit complicated but you can login with your own Netflix account. There is no Wi-Fi. Phone signal is weak near the beach. There is no view of the ocean. You get a view of the parking lot good shower pressure with good hot water.

Everything has been surprisingly impressive. Check in was simple. I had prepaid for my stay prior to arrival, which didn't include any deposit, but I had the funds for that available, so the desk guy got that easily taken care of. For the price, compared to other lodging in S.F.,- awesome deal. I'll most likely stay again sometime, and will make the recommendation to friends if and when the opportunity arises. Thanks again.

I inadvertently booked this inn for a second stay. Pros: large room, close to beach, parking, comfy bed, fridge in room. Cons: you really cant sleep here due to the excessive noise. Bar on bottom floor has rock music until 1 am, street trolly turnaround is excessively noisy, and loud bar patrons congregate under the windows late at night. I used earplugs, a white noise app, and wrapped pillows around my head, but that didn’t help. They really need new soundproof windows and some other insulation. I would also be nice if they added another table or a dresser and coat/towel hooks. Hangers would be nice too. Two beds, but only one luggage rack. We resorted to stacking /hanging things from the ironing board!

It did the job, but the room felt very old. Leaky fixtures in the bathroom. Awkward furniture. No lamps, just harsh overhead lights. Significant noise from the muni and nearby bar.

The building is old, but the room was updated, with the exception of the old pink bathtub and wall tiles. It was a very spacious room, with a mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker… the cheap tea bag type. Though it said non-smoking the sheets smelled “not fresh”. The windows did not lock, there were no screens, and they were a few inches from the floor (third floor, so NOT for children). One window glass was falling off and it had been duct taped, though that had come off… and it was impossible to close. Because of this there was a constant smell of weed smoke floating in all night from people smoking outside. There is no central heat, and because the windows did not close all the way, I was cold all night. The covers are flimsy at best. They provide a tiny heater for a huge room (see photo). The Tram line ran all night right outside the windows and it is VERY NOISY. Needless to say, very little sleep was possible. The host was nice about it, and I was able to get a refund for the second night.
Weed smoke came in all night.

Loved the area for concerts at GG park with the family. It was definitely not quiet, but we expected that and planned accordingly. Super kind folks at the bar below. Staff at the hotel was pleasant and did their job without intrusion on guests - they noticed our coffee choices and made sure to replace the kind we used only. You need to ask for amenities like coffee sugar packets/creamer, etc, but they have them.

Between the bar overflow under your ancient windows and the trolley turn-around thirty feet away, bring all the noise-cancelling gear you can fit into your suitcase Otherwise it's a decent cut rate motel - room bare but spacious, service and internet/cable OK, free parking in back it you get there early, and close to beach.
