Property is a little run down. Had problems every time I tried to get in the room. The lock was broken. Heat didn’t work all of the time. You get what you pay for. Other than that the accommodations were what I expected.

I was traveling to San Francisco with my friend, and I stayed here for 5 days, because my room ran out of toilet paper, and my friend was in the bathroom, and I wanted to find toilet paper for him, because room service was busy, and I didn't want to bother her, so I helped myself, and I got caught, and I got lectured, and I got yelled at, and that's ridiculous, and I'm a guest, and even if I did something wrong, She should not have used that kind of service attitude to me, she is very fierce, feel like hitting me, I will not come again, hope to see friends listen to advice, this is a very scary hotel

This is a safe, clean and affordable option in San Francisco. The motel is a short distance from many wonderful areas of the city, including the Presidio and Fort Mason, is a block from great restaurants and shops, and there is a bus stop right in front. The rooms are clean and while there is some visible wear and tear, I felt comfortable as a solo female traveler staying here.
