It was close by to everything. The location made it really easy to explore San Francisco and visit the Pier without long drives. The room was comfortable and perfect for resting after being out all day. Overall, it was a convenient and pleasant stay.
Alpha Suites is a very easy place to stay, highly suggest if youre in need of a temporary space to stay.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Room was clean and updated. Furniture is sparse. No hangers for the clothes hanging rack (no closet). Outside condition of the motel / inn is OK at best. Lombard street is loud most of the evening. AC/Heat worked well, but was very loud.
