Had the misfortune of spending one miserable night at this disgusting place. Came in later in the evening, they were the only place we could find since it was Cinco de Mayo. Called up and they told us they had one room left and it was a smoking room. I was past tired, exhausted couldn't even begin to describe how... More

There is an excellent Thai restaurant up the street, out of the motel, right up the street on the right, and... More

It's right in the heart of SF, close to a lot of great restaurants and other sights to see. The location on Lombard, one block south of the main bus lines to get anywhere is wonderful. I can't say anything great about the cleanliness, but it wasn't really dirty either, unless you looked behind the bed stands, etc. The bathroom... More

Though a little older this place isn't bad at all. The staff are helpful and friendly and there is free parking and wifi available. Me and my girlfriend stayed here 3 nights and found its location good to see most of San Francisco easily enough. This place was more then adequate for our trip and the rates were reasonable enough.
