Everyone we had contact with were friendly and professional. The place is located within walking distance of everything on the pier. Will definitely stay again
The room we were given had a faulty lock and we could not open it. We were given another room facing the street, which was less preferrable. There was construction ongoing in multiple neighboring rooms. The bathroom in the room had an open shower draining on the floor of the bathroom.
Great budget-friendly option for families visiting Fisherman’s Wharf and other destinations in San Francisco. Room and hotel staff exceeded all expectations. Parking was very safe and accessible throughout our entire trip.

They only had a blanket and would charge me with $20 per night for an additional comforter. The location near fisherman's wharf is great. Gated parking is also great, though they charged me $30 per night for parking through Expedia. Because the cost of parking is still competitive compared to the near parking lot.

The hotel was in older condition but felt secure, even tho in a high traffic tourist area. Location made up for everything - we walked to Fisherman’s Wharf, the sea lions and restaurants, Ferris wheel, and Boudin Bakery and cafe.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Limited parking spot. Cold room, heater not worked. Time limit for parking once over time direct deduct parking fee without notice.
no air conditioner and the room seemed to get stuffy not cold enough to need a heater but the fan above the bed wasn't enough. The shower curtain wasn't long enough so water splashed around the bathroom and even triple checking it was turned off the shower dripped all night. It made me understand Edger Allen Poe's "a tale tell heart." The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and it was an extremely convenient location. Only a 5 minute walk to the pier.

Courteous staff and clean room. The best part of this was its location, location &Location. Walking to beach, sites of Intrest ,pier and plenty of dining options.
Room was old paint chipping, drywall cracks, old furnishings and fixtures.
The location is prime and the price is reasonable but if you are very picky about certain things, for a few bucks more you can get a newer more modern room right across the street.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Location was wonderful! The people were kind! The room just didn't feel clean. I found hair everywhere and stains on the pillows…
NO HEAT! We were told they hadn't turned on the 'boiler' yet that day- 50degrees!!! 3 in the afternoon at checkin. HOTELS.COM showed (and still shows) Self-parking. IT IS NOT FREE- nowhere does it say paid parking on description. $20/day= an extra $40.
NO MAID SERVICE- no coffee 2nd day, NO clean towels- THIS PLACE IS TERRIBLE
