Two king sized beds is great. Clean enough, secure enough. For visiting my aunt, it's been a great location for many years... the place is a motel, centrally located in south san francisco. We don't have huge high expectations, so we're generally not disappointed. And when "cheap accommodations" are so rare now, this is actually a find
