7.6/10 Good! (1,006 reviews)

Close to where I needed to go. Rooms are clean and basic. Not the nicest area, a bit dark, but doesn’t feel unsafe.

No parking needed. The facility looked decent on the outside, but very dated and run down on the inside. It's a place to sleep for the night. The Becks motel/hotel in the Castro was a much better experience. Some older hotels just have that lived in look.
