      Not recommended Trip type: All Others "Should be a 1 star Motel"

      Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Oct 27, 2009

      I mistakenly booked a room here thinking it was another hotel in the same area. I was tired and it was paid for already, so I stayed. The front desk is friendly enough (not rude), but it doesn't seem they clean or pay any attention to the rooms. The wallpaper was peeling and covered with cobwebs (I was bitten overnight by whatever lives in that room fulltime). The bathroom had a bar of soap, two plastic covered cups, and one bottle of what I think was shampoo - which looked like they were thrown on the countertop (seriously). They were scattered about. At least there were towels in there. There wasn't a coffee maker (just a nice, standard touch in my opinion). They mentioned they had free hbo but I couldn't find it on my television. It did, however, HAVE a television, which is the only thing that took my attention off the lacking room. All in all, I would never go back but it was a place to rest my head for the night. I cannot fathom how this place ranks over a 1 star... I would look into other options if you're considering a place to stay near ocean beach, san francisco. Best of luck!

      Reviewed by Jaimee of San Francisco on Jan 5, 2009

      The room (number 10) was okay sized for the price but it really reeked of copious amounts of freshly removed vomit. For what I paid I would have expected a less stinky room. Maybe it was just the room I was given but it made it hard to sleep without opening the windows (which in turn made me freeze because it was a cold San Francisco night).

      It was what I expected, outdated but cheap, clean and functional. It was conveniently located to the finish of the Nike Women's Half Marathon which is why we chose it. It was nice to have parking available on site too.

      Reviewed by Elliott of yuba city on Jun 18, 2008

      The location was pretty good, could see the ocean from my window but then again my window had a bullet hole in it. Although the neighborhood seems extremely safe. Then again the "front desk" is behind security glass so its kind of confusing. The walls were thin so I could hear other peoples TVs and the lightrail goes right in front of the hotel and the refridgerator makes alot of noise but all in all comfortable and clean for a couple nights. With fairly large rooms.

      We were in a bind and this was the only room we could find for the money we had to spend. Check in time was 12:30 and we aririved at 2:00 and our room still wasn't ready. The towels in the bathroom were not big enough to cover you and very thin. There was no coffee in the lobby and no coffee pot in the room. A big plus for us. No elevator and it was a two flight walk up to our room. I am alittle on the elder side of life and the walk up was something I don't want to do again.
