So dirty, carpet smelled like wet mold, bathroom floor was peeling up and missing spots. Bathroom was overall a yellow pee color, very gross. Couldn’t stand the smell, had to leave and book a room somewhere else. Expensive and disappointing.

Shopping and food within walking distance. The room itself had seen some prior damage, but the damage had been addressed to various levels of repair. But the room itself was clean and you can tell that they do care about providing a quality stay.

This motel is clean, has all the usuals you expect in a motel. It is old, has tried to be updated, so it is functional, but recognize it is an affordable motel, not a double or triple the price Hotel chain. I think because of the location, Daly City, where there is a lot of fog on a regular basis, might lend to a mustiness (a little damp) smell to it when I walked in. The mattress was very firm, the bathroom is tiny but adequate (shower only, no bath.) Was only here 1 night, and after checking in about 4p,(was pleasant easy), had to go to an event and didn't come back till 1:30a. I had to make a space in the parking lot (which is usually adequate, and it is next to more street parking,) which I did, but it was superbowl weekend, so they may have been full? So I didn't stay long, just 1 night. This Inn is what you paid for, not very expensive, but just enough to rest and sleep.
