Budget Motel 2009.10.21
Recommended Trip type: All Others "Perfectly okay if you're not expecting much"

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Oct 21, 2009

I've stayed here twice because it was the cheapest thing I could find in the SF Bay area at the time. I'd forgotten the motel when I checked in the second time and my boyfriend said, "Oh, man, this place!" It's just . . . weird. The staff are sort of rude, the rooms are clean but minimal and weird stuff--like, our thermostat was broken, there was graffiti on the room's walls, the door removed from the bathroom. If you're in town overnight (our situation both times) and just need a place to stay, sure. Not a terrible neighborhood, just a very low-grade place.

It's cheap. Nothing about this place is totally unbearable; but it's definitely not by any means a nice place. The neighborhood is seedy. I wonder when they will come out of the dark ages and get wi-fi! I asked them if they had it and they said they didn't. I asked them if they planned to have it in the future. They said they didn't. OK... good luck with that.

This Motel is awful. The Receptionist had no English and it took over an hour to get into our room. The room was a disgrace, it was falling apart. Damaged walls and patchwork everywhere. THE BED SHEETS WERE FULLY WRINKLED!!! so we knew they hadn't been changed. Bathroom fixtures falling off walls, some with nails holding them on and scotch tape!! Lights not working, tv not working. Stained carpet and chipped paint. This place we knew was cheap but we could not believe it was this bad. Never again would we book in here.

Reviewed by Diana of Everett on Apr 15, 2009

This hotel was the ugliest and worst budget place I have EVER stayed at! ...and I usually rent cheap places all over the country. The only positive point was that there was a lock on the door or else I would probably have been killed. There was a Blockbuster across the street, so that made me feel better, although there was some guy peeing in the street outside. The place was a cement block like a barrack with paint chipping off the doors, with windows that had been blocked off..obviously the place was never meant to be a hotel or a residence. The front desk people were rude, too! It was fuhn if you like to make jokes about how ghetto it is, though.

Reviewed by Chelsea of Seattle on Apr 3, 2009

This motel was pretty much what I expected for the price. It was significantly cheaper than the cheapest "name brand" room we could find. We didn't need a lot and weren't expecting much. The room was decently clean, safe and comfortable, but don't expect a lot more. I've stayed in a lot of hostels, cheap hotels and budget rooms, so I have a reference for REALLY terrible places to stay - and this was quite good for the price.

We literally needed a place to lay down for 8 hours while traveling. This motel did an alright job at that. I didn't get a great night's sleep because we were on the ground floor in a sketchy neighborhood and the lock didn't work right. Hotel staff was nice, but they seemed scared to be working there. Linens were clean though, which surprised me.

The bed was incredibly hard, like a thin pad on wood, and the room was basically a furnished storage unit (painted cinder block walls, thin laminate ceiling, exposed pipes, missing doorknob for bathroom). The woman at the front desk was not in the least bit helpful with anything beyond handing over the room key. It was clean, but everything else was subpar. Find somewhere else.

For that price in the bay area, it met my expectations. It was a bed and a shower. I would not stay there with my family. I only stayed because it was near my jobsite and cheaper than the gas to get to my home. The room was freezing. Since I only stayed one night the heater did not get it to a comfortable temperature by the time I left.

I would not stay in this hotel again unless it was a DIRE emergency. Dirty and in poor repair. No hot water in shower. The floor surface of the tub was all chipped and rough. There was an open glass window with no curtain up high in bathroom, too high to cover with a towel. Anyone with a ladder would have been able to watch me shower or dress. The only supplies were 2 small bars of facial soap, no kleenex and only a half roll of toilet tissue. Mold was visible throughout the bathroom and closet. The phone book was 6 years old. The mirror was wavy. Bad.

The only thing that they offered was clean towel and clean sheets and they wanted me to do their house keeping/cleaning.

I chose this hotel because it was somewhat affordable and not very far from San Francisco ( 10 mn ride) and not veru far from the highway (101) just next to the exit of San Bruno. So the location is good the price is good. This is it. There is no service whatsoever. The blankets were not enough to make me feel warm. If you leave your room a little bit late your room is not done . NOT DONE you have to pay in advance to have you phone running and there is no Wi-FI So if you just need a place to sleep in and that's it it's fine. I don't recommend it though
