good location and good price. the actual motel was perfectly average. sheets and towels were clean, but room was dusty and a/c was funky (worked, but funky). i never felt unsafe going out, and there were some really great coffee/food options within walking distance. public transport was good, too- lots of options and schedules were consistent. you can't see the beach from the property because it's behind the sand dunes, but if you want to GO to the beach it's literally across the street. i picked this motel because it was close to golden gate park (which was my primary reason for coming to san fran) and to be able to go to the beach, so it did not disappoint! staff was also very kind.
