Lot of issues and never back here again. Mattress Bed - DIRTY linens and blankets never wash and you can see that never change at all, it looks like they just only straightened up after used just to look nice but when you check it lots of leaves fibers from clothes and hair from the previous users. Air conditioner - Old and Rusty. We run the AC and blows lots of dust so we turn it off right away. TV - no signal you need to figure out and call the desk how it works? Refrigerator - Not works well it’s warm not cold. Shower - shower head not works at all it’s broken it runs only the faucet. Ceiling - has spider Floor - has roaches crawling in the bathroom. Walls - is very thin you can hear the next door and the outside and running cars in the street. Overall -Very Poor and need to work out the cleanliness of the room and need fixed or change the appliances.

Our room was not cleaned in the two nights we were there. I requested personally for it to be cleaned and no one came. The location was great! Lots of shops and restaurants local to walk to. The hotel itself was pretty bare. Not exactly what was advertised.

This property was very nerve racking to me because the electrical was faulty. I turned on the lights by the bed and everytime my son sat down on the bed the electricity would go off and on light it had a short somewhere. The door to get in the room was a tripping hazard waiting to happen. The rooms where connected to each other but they put closets like the kind you purchase at ikea in place to separate the room. A couple trying to get in their room at the same time as my family was having trouble just unlocking their door with key card. The room smelled funky and musty.

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.

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.
