Lovely clean room, great size! Bathroom appeared to have recently been updated, hot shower and lovely fluffy towels! The beds were super comfy! Location was great! Only downside they didn't offer breakfast, but that really wasn't a big issue! We only stayed one night, but would happily stay for multiple nights, if back in the area!

Motel is in a great location, two blocks from the Embarcadero. It is on a steep hill going down to Embarcadero, so if you have difficulty walking or handicapped it may be very hard walk. Very quiet. Staff was welcoming. Room was ok, nothing special. Shower was extremely small. Toilet needs to be fastened down, every time we used it, it would hit the wall, as if it was going to fall apart. Pizza Port within walking distance was very good.

Loved this place and would definitely want to stay again. It's walking distance to the waterfront where there's shops and restaurants. And walking distance from the rock and the beach if you don't mind a little stroll (less than a mile away). The property is clean and not outdated, parking is easy and convenient, the room is spacious and the staff is friendly.

We stay here every year and have been very pleased. This year it was a little warmer than normal but we used the air conditioner in our room and it was very comfortable. If you are looking for a nice clean quiet place to stay, this is the place and its so close to shopping and restaurants which is very convenient.
