The guy at the check-in was super funny. The Motel had an underground parking garage, what is really nice to have in San Francisco. The room was big, nice and had a great view. The price was fair.

The accommodation met all my expectations. The room was large enough and oriented to a quiet street with a beautiful view of the entire neighborhood. I also liked the quality of the windows. Visitors will appreciate the proximity of dining establishments and the nearby marina with views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island. I love this place and will definitely come back here. The trolley stop is right in front of the hotel and the line goes directly to the center.

Somehow I got the room all for myself for 2 whole nights yay me! The room was spacious and eventhough it's near the main street, I could still sleep like a baby during my whole stay. There was a lady staff who went extra mile to ask about my days/trips and even shared info about the place I intended to head to. Also I loved the vibe and design of the hostel, very bohemian-style and gorgeous! Loved the dining area as well. It was a place where I would end my day with a good dinner that I doordashed every night. Very central location and convenient enough for me to catch my super early morning trip to Yosemite and also a BART train to SFO airport. The hostel is also within walking distance from the Powell St. BART station where you can also catch the cable car to Fisherman's Wharf, Lombard Street etcs. You can also see the cable car turnaround near the station. Highly recommended to solo travelers!

    Great hotel. Nice personnel. Good price (by SF standards), nice big room, comfortable bed, and spacious bathroom. Hotel atmosphere was good and cozy. Location is good; close to the busy city center (union square etc), but located in a street which is a little bit more quiet/nicer. Easy to walk to other neighborhoods from the hotel. Breakfast is okay, nothing special but fine.

    Central location. Good price compared to other properties in SF. Reasonably clean. The diner next door is a good place for breakfast. The hotel itself was quiet, although there was a little noise from the street. The room was equipped with a hairdryer, and an iron and board, which you wouldn't necessarily expect at that price point. The staff was friendly. It's all in all a good budget option. I would probably go back if travelling alone.
