Liked: Staff & service
It is an older motel that really could use an update. The elevator was interesting - maybe historical? The great place about this motel while while visiting San Francisco was it location & staff. We were near the Presidio, which was where we wanted to be rather than downtown. It was ideal for being in an area loaded with restaurants. The staff was great for making s few recommendations. Overall I would definetyly book again.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location was great and the motel offered good value for the price. The bedsheets appeared clean, though there were some burn marks on them, along with noticeable marks on the doors, walls, and possibly mold on the ceiling. The room had a strong chemical cleaner smell, which was a bit overwhelming. There was no hand soap provided, so we had to purchase our own.

Big room, and lots of space. My family Loved that we could step out for fresh air anytime and Although, the key cards were a little tricky to use and they could’ve had more utensils for us to use in the room like toilet paper or dishes, we loved that it had a microwave. It was very nice and friendly experience. In all my family loved it, wish I would’ve gotten a longer stay!
