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.

A bed in a pinch

The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the parking was secure. Those were my main conditions. Also, good food within walking distance.

Stayed for 3 nights to attend nearby Outside Lands festival. Room was dated but clean. Unfortunately, we never received cleaning service or fresh bath towels during our entire stay. Could not open windows for fresh air so had to leave front door open for air. The positive? Our 18 years old son said we were just being bougey and that he will try to stay here for the 2026 festival because of its convenient proximity to the event

The room was directly above a bar. It was loud until midnight. My second night the party seemed to move to the room above me and it was loud until 2 am. The smoke alarm in the room started to beep at 5am from the low battery. The room was not very clean. The soap and shampoo dispenser did not work It was not a good choice of a hotel.

Does the job

It’s a bare-bones tourist motel but had everything I needed and nothing I didn’t need. Room was sparse and weirdly shaped but large and well-maintained. You can tell it’s an older building but the ownership has put time and effort into there interiors. Staff was friendly and helpful. The two cons were that parking was limited and the evenings were loud with the metro right nearby, but in my mind that goes with the territory given the older construction and the excellent location.
