Noisy at night. Drunken fights. Felt like a homeless shelter. Called the front desk about it, and no one answered phone. Area desolate at night, homeless people in the area. Front desk provided no services. Room was clean, appliances worked, but barebones. Room only cleaned when it is requested. While the beach location was nice, not really near the sf attractions. Not a convenient location. Would NOT recommend this place to anyone and i would never return

The pros: There was plenty of parking across the street from the hotel. This was my first time staying at this location, but have walked past it many times over the years while visiting Ocean Beach and walking along the (now) closed Great Highway between the hotel and the beach that is dedicated to walking and bike riding (no cars). Beach access is also convenient. Check-in was extremely easy and the staff polite. I stayed for one night. The hotel is 4-5 miles from the city center; however, I purposely chose to say near the beach knowing this. There are public transportation options within 1-2 blocks to get you to the rest of the city if you do not have a car. These was an A/C in the room (rare in SF) but not often needed near the ocean. The cons: The room itself needs upgrading and repairs. As with any budget hotel, some sacrifices to comfort are made for the low price. And while the sheets and most towels/surfaces were clean, there were some issues that I tolerated but were not very assuring such as finding different colored long hairs on one of the clean towels, a broken light bulb in the room, blood stains on the half used toilet paper roll, a broken/missing toilet paper holder, and gnats/flies in the bathroom due to poor ventilation. The room was usable despite these items I've listed, and as a solo traveler, I made due without stirring any trouble due to the low price I paid. However, small fixes could have made the experience a little nicer.

Little care has been taken to maintain this property. It gave me the creeps. There were holes in the ceiling in the walkway outside my room. The light plug sparked when touched. The bathtub had debris in it. The chest of drawers was broken and the furniture was mismatched. I paid for 2 nights I did not use and went to a decent hotel. Other than that it was swell!

The motel is average. The staff is all nice and courteous. The people next to our room were up all night being loud and probably all strung out. The location as well as free parking get it an extra star though.

Terrible!

The motel is old. You can feel the springs in the bed. The room was dirty and broken down. I don't have high standards and it was bad! The motel is incredibly noisy. There was a taco truck in their parking lot outside our room so crowded we could not park. There was booming rap music all night and people yelling. No one in the motel cares about their guests or service.

Great location. The dunes are right out your window and short walk to beach. Great price. Don’t expect anything fancy. It’s a very simple room. Much older. Room was very clean though! Highway is kind of dirty looking. I did see homeless quite a bit as well. It’s a noisy area and people coming and going can be loud and our room was right by the stairwell, lots of loud echoing voices. The roof felt stuffy each time we returned it. It met our needs, just a place to sleep and shower. Gone all day every day! Great fir kids and family’s and pets too

This hotel is not fit for any traveler. There appears to be absolutely no management or care for cleanliness, safety or upkeep. The smoke detector had a plastic bag tied over it. The room was filled with gnats and flies. The windows were so filthy could not see out of them. The closet had no hangers. The water pressure in the shower was very low and the water luke warm at best. There were holes in wall. The hotel ice machine was broken and when asked about it there was no plan to ever fix it. There is no coffee machine or microwave. The small refrigerator has no frozen compartment. The manager office was closed on one morning with no way to contact anyone. We were told the hotel is set to be torn down for affordable housing which would explain the lack of any concern for guests.
