We booked the Beach Motel for no reason other than its price. We did minimum research and made the reservation before we read the reviews here. Saw all the negative reviews the day before we travelled and were horrified and thought of just going somewhere else but decided to go with it for one night as they already had our... more

We "accidentally" booked this hotel thinking it was another one we had stayed at and BOY, was that a HUGE mistake. I can honestly say that this is the absolute worst hotel I've ever stayed at in my life. It makes Motel 6 look like The Hilton. First of all, it states that it's 1 mile from the Zoo and... more

Absolutely HORRIBLE place. Quite possibly the worst hotel I have ever stepped foot in. First as I parked I noticed there was only one available spot in the lot so not enough room for me and my friend to park our cars. I walk into the lobby and it smells old and dingy. Their website is also broken. I made... more

My wife had a doctor appointment at UCSF medical center and I was having trouble finding a place with reasonable rates. I did not know it was graduation for UCSF and that the Bay to Breakers race was that weekend. the place was easy to get to from the north. There were no rooms available on the first floor and... more

I was looking for a place to stay while visiting my father, who was having surgery at UCSF Medical Center, and somehow came across this place. It is near Ocean Beach and close to the N Judah Street Car. So far this sounds ok. Was going to stay here with my elderly mother and shuttle her back and forth to... more

I stayed here for a night during a bicycle trip down the California coast. it was about the cheapest lodging I could find that wasn't a youth hostel. If was OK. the room was a little funky, and certainly not fancy, but I didn't feel like I was going to get any lingering infections from it. The evening I was... more

It has a lingering ordor (not sure what it was), had no a/c or heat, no locks - no screens the windows- You could walk in the room from the windows off of the ledge to any of their rooms, no ice or vending machine, It should be sold as a hourly hotel. We felt our safety and our health... more

this motel was recommended by SFSU for parents needing a place to stay when visiting their student. The cleanliness was OK, but the sheets were stained, the room was stincky and the curtains were filthy and warn. Our room windows were on the road and there was a bar just next to the motel. The noise was so loud it... more

We stayed at the Beach Motel for four nights. The motel is in a residential neighborhood far, far away from most of San Francisco's major attractions, but it is inexpensive and more than acceptable for a budget traveler. If you want one of the larger rooms, be sure to book one that overlooks Judah Street in the front of the... more
