We are currently staying in room 214 and have had 4 big black spiders in our room. I contacted the onsite worker Michael who is doing everything by himself and has no power what so ever, I requested a refund but they don't have the money to refund me. I spoke with the owner on the phone and she was... More

I signed up to trip advisor purely to review this motel and warn others, as I wish we had known what it was like before we stayed!! We are a laid back kiwi couple who have traveled the world and have never complained once.. this place deserves a complaint. We had a fantastic holiday in San Fran, weather was amazing-... More

A common motel, for an average price, providing free parking facilities (which is far from systematic in San Francisco). My only complain is about the fact that we had to share the room ... with bed bugs.

Within walking distance of our destination (Italian consulate). Generally safe area but can be a little noisy if your room is near the street but wasn't bad enough to keep us awake. Room was clean but smelt a little musty on our arrival. Smell was gone after returning from our walk to dinner at Mel's diner (loaded with Giants fans... More

I was visiting SF alone in July 2012. It was a last minute decision and so I did not have much choice as most of the decent hotels were full or expensively priced. I selected Surf Motels as it was located at a convenient location with free parking. Overall I was not impressed, there is no way I would have... More

The room was nothing fancy but was a good price and very clean. They had free parking a real plus in SF. Walking distance to pier 39 area.The people who ran the motel were very helpful. Across from Home Plate (very good breakfasts) and next to Ihop.

It's not the Hilton by any means, but it was reasonably priced and clean, with free parking included. The air conditioning worked, which is pretty important if you are there in summer! The TV worked just fine, although volume was a bit wierd, and the WIFI was free. The bathroom was very large, and there was plenty of hot water... More
