Small rooms cozy up to your neighbors

Rooms are very small, Deluxe King was not deluxe. Heavy traffic outside the room. Walls very thin, you can here everything going on next to you. Great location, quick walk to the Rock, or stroll down the Embarcadero, but the price was not work the location. Definantly felt like I way over spent for what I got.

Location, location! Conveniently located in the middle of water / beach activities, restaurants and shops at the bay. Cute courtyard with ample seating options makes the motel exterior warm and inviting. The rooms are extremely small and very outdated. Beds are uncomfortable and our room was not very clean. The floors were filthy and since all rooms are pet room, there was ample pet hair along the floor and baseboards. It was obvious that the floors are not regularly mopped. For the location it worked well for our group of four adventuring adults. For the price I had higher expectations for our room.

Consider other options

We were a bit underwhelmed at this place. Given the nightly rate, I would've expected a little more. We understood this to be a budget option, but hooks came out of the wall, the cleanliness left something to be desired, and the walls were paper-thin (we could hear the toilet flushing next door and our neighbor slept with their TV on, which we heard all night. Check in was acceptable, and the bed was surprisingly comfortable.

Had a lovely stay. Staff was super friendly! Room was small but cozy and comfortable. Bed was very squeaky whenever you sat on the edge.but not to the extent that I couldn't handle the noise. Loved the room decorations ! Shampoo, conditioner, and soap were very nice. Towels were soft. Even gave us free cinnamon rolls every morning from the restaurant next door! So yummy ! Definitely will stay there again!

Good Location but do need customer service

The location was excellent. The service could be better. We have trouble with remote control which would not allow to change channel. I had to do it manually. There were not service in the evening. I was trying to find a ice machine for ice which was not available. I tried ringing for service at the lobby but there were no person working. Overall, if you are looking right at the pier, this is the place.

One of the smallest rooms we’ve ever stayed in! Location is great, but the property could use to be updated/improved. The room was so tiny, it was difficult to get dressed.
