Staff very courteous and helpful. Location only a block from the Wharf, great walking access to all the sites and restaurants.
Rooms need to be remodeled and wasn’t the cleanest for the price of the motel. Great location though and protected parking you have to pay for

They only had a blanket and would charge me with $20 per night for an additional comforter. The location near fisherman's wharf is great. Gated parking is also great, though they charged me $30 per night for parking through Expedia. Because the cost of parking is still competitive compared to the near parking lot.

High marks for cleanly ness.
Mostly the very friendly staff
Room was old paint chipping, drywall cracks, old furnishings and fixtures.
The location is prime and the price is reasonable but if you are very picky about certain things, for a few bucks more you can get a newer more modern room right across the street.

Fisherman's Wharf and the cruise port were very accessible on foot. Staff was helpful and friendly. Facilities were comfortable.
The room was a little outdated, but seemed clean. The staff was rude and unpleasant, however, during the check-in and parking process. The location and price was the winning factor as it is a short distance from the pier.
Liked the central locations, walking distance. Disappointed what the motel actually looked like. Internet pictures showed nice clean rooms and Motel. and and

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The property itself looked a bit run down but it was a great location. Walkable to the pier and popular things.
Had a decent time here as we just used it for an overnighter for old dudes. Room was very quiet of course we were off season during the week so there was no one there. Decent property and it's location is key.
no air conditioner and the room seemed to get stuffy not cold enough to need a heater but the fan above the bed wasn't enough. The shower curtain wasn't long enough so water splashed around the bathroom and even triple checking it was turned off the shower dripped all night. It made me understand Edger Allen Poe's "a tale tell heart." The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and it was an extremely convenient location. Only a 5 minute walk to the pier.
