There were pimps and prostitutes doing business out of the hotel the first night i arrived with my child. The hotel has homeless people living in the property and the parking lot has cars with broken windows and cars with boots on. If i could have gotten a refund i would have never checked in.

For my own reasons I choose this location, but now, the morning coffee is no longer offered and the microwave was removed. Not happy about that.

Missing front desk attendant

I arrived around 1pm and asked about early checkin. I was told there were no rooms available until 2:30, so I waited in the parking lot. The attendant put a sign on the window at 2:20, stating "Back in 30 mins". At 3pm there was a line formed wa s line formed waiting to checkin. We all waited for over an hour, with no updates from staff about when someone would start checking guests in. A guy arrived sometime after 4pm.

The staff members are very friendly, always trying to do their best, but the motel is falling apart, everything is extremely old, plumbing issues, blankets with holes in them, very old pillows, no shampoo. Beautiful view of the Embarcadero but sadly obscured by homeless camping very near to the premises, security issues.They accept pets for free and parking is free too.
