As former locals who lived 2 blocks away and also right off Lombard, we knew what to expect as far as the noise. But with a room facing the back, a comfortable king bed, and the hum of the powerful fan we slept through each night without any trouble.

The location is terrific.

Foodies/bar hoppers: tons of fantastic bars and restaurants all within walking distance.

Tourists: it's as close as you can get to the Golden Gate bridge, Palace of Fine Arts, and the Presidio.

Shoppers: Chestnut Street and Union (up the hill a couple of blocks) have some pretty nice shops.

Parents: this is a very safe neighborhood. My fiance and I were teased relentlessly by co-workers for living here because it's so clean, nice, and gentrified.

Business folks: the 30 express is 3 blocks away and drops you downtown in about 20 minutes.

Runners: this is world-class running territory...Lyon Street Steps, Ft. Point, GG Bridge, Presidio, and some serious butt-kicking hills.

The room was spare, but very clean and comfortable.The breakfast is just something to nibble on while you walk to a much better breakfast place on Chestnut. The internet is very clunky. But the service was far above average.

Proprietors of other hotels, are you listening? Today's lesson: See how this place doesn't hit the mark every time, but because its front desk staff are warm, thoughtful, and competent, travelers are willing to put up with all sorts of shortcomings?

I'd stay here again. Made me want to move back.

We stayed there for our honeymoon, and had a room on the upper floor.

Here are the plusses:
- Very nice decorating, modern and clean.
- Close to the Golden Gate Bridge and Chesnut St. where there are some nice restaurants.
- Not very expansive.
- Free breakfast.
- Big shower.

Here are the downers:
- Very noisy because your door opens to Lombard St. which is a big avenue.
- Breakfast was a bit cheap, we had to lunch early because it was filling enough.
- Small bathroom.

It was an overall good experience and we would certainly return.

We were a little unsure before heading to the hotel but when we arrived we were greeted with some very friendly and helpfull reception staff. The room was rather basic but very tidy and reasonably comfortable. If you are looking for basic and in a good location this place works. In good walking distance to the Golden gate bridge and the Marina. Highly recomended....

Great Room...Great Location...Great Service! The rooms have been updated and are clean and comfortable. The location is extremely close to most bus routes that will take you everywhere in the city. All bus stops are within walking distance from the hotel. It is also walking distance to many neighborhood eating and drinking establishments which are clearly loved by the locals. The folks who work at the motel are extremely friendly and willing to help with directions and city recommendations. Best of all, there is no charge for parking - this is truly something when talking about a location in San Francisco! Many would consider this a "no-frills" motel; however, I consider it true hidden treasure!
