It was great, we had a nice night. The shower knob was different than I am used to, there are instructions on the opposite wall of the knobs though for those of you confused like I was. I loved that they use the soap dispensers instead of disposables. The carpets are a lil smelly, but it was clean if that makes sense. Not complaining but I have a stronger nose than most people. Our stay was great!

We stayed our last night in SF on 10/14. My experience was great. Large room, clean, shampoo/conditioner/body wash in the bathroom. The motel is what you pay for. It's in the city not sure why people expect it to be quiet. Normal sounds from a big city. Didn't bother us we slept just fine. The younger gentleman that assisted me at check in was nice, polite and patient as I had a bit of an issue with room key. I love that check out was at 12 pm gave us time to shower and get ready for the day. Older gentleman at check out was super nice and had a smile on his face the whole time.

Hidden gem
Very nice hotel, the lady at the front desk(sorry didn’t catch her name) was so kind and accommodating for us. The hotel parking was easy and it was nice they had 2 garages, safe neighborhood w/ a cool park nearby. The room was spacious, clean and had a huge fridge! Loved the rooftop and sitting area. Will definitely stay again.

Great location, reasonable price. Both Muni and Big Bus stop right outside the front door, making getting around the city very easy. Comfortable walking distance to Ghirardelli Square, Fisherman's Wharf, the world's crookedest street, and the Bay. Good, reasonably priced food is available nearby. John at the front desk was wonderfully helpful, letting us check in early and giving us a quiet room and a discount on Big Bus tickets. Can't quite give it a full 5 stars because the heater needed maintenance (loud and smelly) and a couple of other things didn't work properly. Also, this part of Lombard gets noisy (our room location on the back helped a lot). Would give it 4.5 stars if we could.
