Convenience to the Pier without the traffic was perfect. Loved the fire pits outside. Rooms are a bit outdated, not the most comfortable beds, and bathroom is small. Overall I would stay at this hotel again.

Just kinda sucked. My wife said “why did we book a motor lodge?” Small awkward 2 rooms in building adjacent to main building. They could accommodate joining rooms so my 14 year old twins slept down the hall. Our suv would not fit in parking garage so had to park 1/4 mile away. Most equipment broken in gym. Never got a bill but got charges on my card. Breakfast was decent.

Older hotel, but clean and accessible. I had one complaint that there was no water to purchase after 10pm. We were told that we’d have to walk a block away to 7-eleven. A little disappointed with that comment. I went to the bar area and the bartender was able to accommodate me with some water. Other than that, it was good location, accessible to pier 39.

Beautiful hotel inside and out! Perfect location very near the Wharf and Piers. Walkable to many locations. No safety comcerns. The breakfast is top notch delicious with multiple offerings and fresh food-eggs, breakfast meats, fruits, veggies, yogurts, cereals, breads and pastries, beverages (LOVED the Smoked Salmon option!). Staff helpful and friendly. The downside was the high cost of parking $60 per night. I understand space and location but that seemed excessive
