We stayed there for just one night. Despite the hotel is located close to the Union Square, walking to it wasn't fun, since the route passes through quite boring blocks. Returing at night was even worst since SF (or just this area) suddenly discovered itself like a major bum home. Otherwise it's fully OK as a motel, you can quickly... More

The area is a bit less high class than most but I was not afraid to walk at night as long as I had a friend. The room was nice and comfortable and clean. The room service was terrible. I ordered two chocolate mousse cakes, cheesy garlic bread and two milks. It cost $32, took an hour, they gave me... More

We stayed only 1 night here but we were very pleased with the price, cleanliness of room, swimming pool area and free parking! Hotels in San Francisco make a lot of money by charging high parking fee ($30-40/day), especially in central location and this SOMA district. This hotel offers free parking and full breakfast included! People working here care about... More

It's not easy to find an affordable, clean and safe room in San Fran (trust me, I tried)! This hotel fit the bill nicely. I got a discounted rate online and they had free parking, wifi and breakfast to boot. Plus, there is a heated pool, laundry, vending machines and a computer in the office available for guest use.

We booked into here for 3 nights. We had a Superior Queen room. Wish we hadn't. The noise that goes on until all hours of the night uncontrolled is terrible. The staff like to pass the buck and are not interested too much in any issues. Breakfast was ok. Parking is off the street. The area around the Motor Inn... More

....which surprised me because its a classic motor inn style and the street is far away from the rooms. Breakfast was good. Wifi was intermittent. Pool is small but looked clean....didn't use it personally. Parking was free.....that was good!!! Rooms seemed recently upgraded but thin walls.

Everyone in the office is super nice. The room was very clean and housekeeping does a great job cleaning the rooms. Rates are the best rates in town.the hotel is very close to the heart of downtown San Francisco. Waking distance to shopping, food, city hall and the main library.
