The hotel is convenient and comfortable. We were in town to visit relatives in San Francisco and could not find any rooms in the city. We were a little skeptical of the hotel based on previous reviews. Our experience on the 2 nights we stayed was different. We were surprised at the cleanliness of the room and amenities for the...

Sure, if it's sleep in your car or here, maybe give this place a shot, but don't leave the room, especially if your coming back late on a weekend. Having spent one of two nights I had confirmed, I returned late on a Saturday night to a full hotel. When I went to the front desk to ask for a... More

This hotel was easy to find, clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. As it is a budget hotel, you cannot expect a whole lot, but considering hotels are exhorbitant price closer to the city, this hotel was close to the BART station and it was an easy train ride into the city. The hotel is in a... More

On my way home from a abalone diving trip, my truck overheated and broke down on the freeway.

I had two rooms here because the first one (#130) was in such poor shape they moved me to a "better" room (#210). Room 130 had a missing lampshade, drywall damage, rusty towel rack, extensive drywall issues in the bathroom, inoperable bathroom fan, wall stains, broken miniblinds, and a very loose entry door (as if it had been broken into...

My family and I were planning a trip to San Fransisco, and when we were looking for hotel accommodations, we couldn't find anything in the city for less than $200 a night, which was a lot more than what we were willing to pay.

This is a two star hotel so we were not expecting the Ritz (and did not get it.) But our room was large (two double beds with room to walk around), clean and quiet. We were supplied with shampoo and conditioner and hair dryer. Our room had a little refrigerator--we didn't need it, but it was there. Down the walkway... More
