"This was a trip back to the 1970's. The room was super dated it even included popcorn ceiling. i was not sure what the safe was, as I never seen that before. I did get a good night sleep before flying out the next day. it is very close tot he airport and they have a free shuttle. The good thing is that is is easily accessible. I found the staff in the afternoon and night shift to be very niece. The cleaning staff was great. "

"If you’re looking for a clean, no-frills hotel with parking that’s close to all the action in downtown, this place is perfect. The room was spotless, the mattress protected, and it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Ideal if you’re planning to spend most of your time exploring the city and just need a reliable spot to recharge! And I was about to forget the front desk people are outstanding while not intrusive. We’re happy ;) "

"Check in was fast and easy. Housekeeping came daily to change our towels and wash cloths. The person who checked us in gave us some great information for places to see in the area as well. The hotel is in a perfect location for public transportation and we were able to get everywhere we wanted using our clipper card. I would recommend this hotel for anyone coming to the SF area and will book again when I’m back in the area! "

"This property was outstanding. The perfect location with my husband and 4 year old son to relax and recharge after the holidays. Beyond happy with this property and location. Will definitely be returning. Easy access to beach and walking trails. Perfectly located. Property was beautiful. Had the best time "

"The young lady at the front desk seemed miserable and unapproachable. Luis, was great! He worked the breakfast shift on Christmas Eve. The suite I stayed in was very dated. The suite was not cleaned upon my arrival. Arm chair, sofa and coffee table was stained, dirty and old. I had to buy 3 Glade air fresheners to get rid of old smells. I did have a good time here but that front desk worker as I mentioned above was not helpful and needs to be retrained . "

5/5 Excellent

"Great place with great location. The game room and outdoor courtyard with fire pits and complimentary S-mores was nice. Highly recommend if you are looking for something affordable, with a good location that isn't cookie cutter."

5/5 Excellent

"Check in was easy! I loved the rubber duck that came in the room. The front desk gave me 2 rubber duck key chains as well when I mentioned I collected them. Walgreens is on the corner so easy to get anything you need. The cable car route is right out the front door. I stayed on the 12th floor I had city views. The bed felt like I was sleeping in a cloud. They offer a pillow menu which is pretty unique! Definitely will be my go to stay for when I come back to San Francisco! "
