Didn't get what we paid for!

Booked a room with two beds and a sofa, the room given to us was only two beds, no sofa. Didn't get what we paid for, no lotion was provided for skincare. Small towels, (child size) pillows where FLAT!

Property is a little run down. Had problems every time I tried to get in the room. The lock was broken. Heat didn’t work all of the time. You get what you pay for. Other than that the accommodations were what I expected.

I was traveling to San Francisco with my friend, and I stayed here for 5 days, because my room ran out of toilet paper, and my friend was in the bathroom, and I wanted to find toilet paper for him, because room service was busy, and I didn't want to bother her, so I helped myself, and I got caught, and I got lectured, and I got yelled at, and that's ridiculous, and I'm a guest, and even if I did something wrong, She should not have used that kind of service attitude to me, she is very fierce, feel like hitting me, I will not come again, hope to see friends listen to advice, this is a very scary hotel

I loved the location of the motel, the only thing I didn't like was that there was no coffee maker in the room, but without a doubt if I go back to San Francisco I will stay at the same motel

This is a safe, clean and affordable option in San Francisco. The motel is a short distance from many wonderful areas of the city, including the Presidio and Fort Mason, is a block from great restaurants and shops, and there is a bus stop right in front. The rooms are clean and while there is some visible wear and tear, I felt comfortable as a solo female traveler staying here.
