I've been staying here for several years for a couple of different events in GG Park. The rooms are "fine" - this motel is good because of its location, can walk right across the hwy to the beach, down the street to a great coffee house, 10 min walk to Cliff House and Beach Chalet, and right next to GG...

We stayed here October 2011 and October 2010 and we were quite satisfied both times. The service was very good, and our room was just as expected, clean and had all the amenities we required as well as an ideal location across from the ocean. There is a very good restaurant on premises that we enjoyed, with plenty of vegetarian... More

Having read some of the reviews I was a bit skeptical. However, having made a late decision to meet up with our son & his wife in SF there were almost no 2 bed motel/hotel rooms available by the time we started looking and most anything near city center were well over $200 a nite for very modest & potentially...

I stayed there recently with my mother. We were concentrating on activities in Golden Gate park. We stayed in room 208. The beds and bedding were comfortable. It was nice to have a microwave and fridge. Granted there was no coffee maker in the room, but we got coffee and rolls at the AM/PM right behind the Inn. There is... More

We made reservations through Travelocity. We arrived at 4:00 p.m. We were given the 2nd floor room 201 and it was a clean sparse room. It had a large TV that worked nicely. Cool night 1/30/12 & the heater worked great. The bathroom was very clean. I think the people who complained about having to pay ahead of time did... More

This Motor Inn (not a hotel) in any other area would be rated a 1-star for the following reasons: The desk clerks (male and female) are behind a security glass window and all transactions are made via a slide-through access similar to banks so the initial impression is not a good sign. I, as well as the previous review, was... More

You know it's a bad sign when you check in at 8:45 PM (i.e, not that late) and you have to stand outside while the desk clerk is behind plexiglass. It was dark and creepy and as a woman staying alone, it did not feel fully safe. I had planned on going out for some milk after I checked in,... More

If you can get past the Chinese desk clerk,the hotel is nice.Waking up and looking out at the beach in the morning is amazing.You're close to Ocean Beach and Lands End,two great places to visit.The room was clean.The bed was comfortable,bathroom clean.Kind of a "Surf" hotel.I'd stay again.
