Room smelled awful and no option for ventilation since windows had no screens. Toilet seat was peeling, furniture quality looked like dressers were picked up off the curb, TV didn’t work. Front desk never answered the phone over the two days. No microwave in room. Plus: very clean, great location.

No doorknob to bathroom. Visible damage to shower. No kleenex, coffeemaker, hair dryer, shower cap. Parking limited. Sketchy outside. There were fruit flies in my room and some mystery green bug. I’d say a step up from a hostel.

If you want to have a room full of flies, refrigerator leaking or the handle to shower broken then this is the place for you. Area is surrounded by homeless people living in their cars. I did go to front desk to ask for another room. He couldn’t 1st night because he was fully. But we can switch rooms next day. He never reached out to me to do so. Will never come back or recommend!

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!

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.
