Clean, small room with good bed, fridge and microwave - no coffeemaker. Tricky keycard latch. Remodel is pretty good. Parking tight but great for us. Good location and surprisingly quiet. Windows were screwed shut so had to use door or AC for ventilation. Lighting on one side of the bed only. TV operation had a learning curve. Good shower/water pressure. Low key.

I see that this hotel has great potential. I slept like a baby. It was just missing some items from proper lighting in the bathroom as well as a working fan for taking up the mist that showers give off to unwanted smells after you “uh-hem”….no one lines a fogged up mirror, or at least I don’t. Could have been a better balance of lighting both in bathroom and the room itself. An amenity that would have been great was to have a coffee m/tea maker in the room. Believe you me a goes along way to feel the added comfort of having a great room a nice cup of your favorite beverage available at the touch. The guys were very cordial and accommodating to me personally as I am handicapped and it has affected my hearing. So repeatedly a question was no bother to them. They have handicapped parking which was great to have. And the best added feature was the elevator. Extremely convenient for me. Third floor no problem. Elevator, here it comes! So this was difficult to actually review. I wish them good fortune.👍

This motel was poorly run. Front end staff were less than friendly, the room was run down and falling apart- rusty rotting light fixtures, run down beat up mattresses, the bathroom door was rotting off the hinges, the cupboard was stuck closed because of the humidity; the bathroom vent was not working, no window for airing out , the shower floor drain was plugged with other people’s hair; the tv was stuck on one channel with a dead remote. and they never cleaned our room once during our stay. When I said something they dismissed it and were rude. Definitely don’t recommend this place ever- even if it was semi-close to minor amenities…

The shower water never got remotely warm for me. Must be a small heater shared with everyone. No towels on arrival. We had to request some the next morning. The TV remote felt like it hadn't been cleaned in years. Very sticky. Suuuper tight parking, but at least it's included on the price of the stay. Great location though. Walking distance to restaurants and Walgreens, and a 5-10 min drive to most SF attractions.

Room was filthy, towels had stains, hair and lint on the floor, bedding had stains, door knobs and doors had stains, shower curtains had stains. Staff was not the friendliest very stale interactions. Only good thing was the location in the marina. I should have dished out the extra $20-30 bucks to stay in a nicer place.
