This is a sweet little motel across the street from the Bay. It's a dog friendly place so the furniture is understandably dated and the rooms are small, but at that price you are not going to feel cheated. The rooms are clean and it is central to everything. If you are on the top floor room 12 or 14 you're gonna get a great view of the rock, but even if you don't have one of those rooms there are a couple of patio ares for the guests where you can sit out and enjoy the sunset. The place is run by a sweet older gentleman who loves dogs and will make you feel very welcome. Please check in early he closes the front desk between 5 and 6 and reopens at 9am. If you get there later he will leave instructions, but better safe than sorry.

It was an easy check in, but luckily it was within their "window" hours. 3p-5p. So not sure how a late check in would work. The bed was great, room was nice. Great view of the rock if on 2nd floor in the middle rooms of the walkway.

Check in ends at 5pm. I arrived around 6pm. No one was there and i was stuck out in the cold. I detoured 45 mins off course in anticipation of staying there. Waited about 1.5hrs no one showed. Another couple suffered the same fate. Unbeknownst to us special arrangements are required. They claim staff is available 24/7. Apparently not.

Location was good, John was amazing, very personable and accommodating. The view was phenomenal, housekeeping cleaned the room well. There was a portable heater provided because there is no in room heater. The breaker tripped while getting ready the 1st day during business hours. Unfortunately it tripped again the evening of the second day at 7p after turning on the heater. We reached out in person and by phone unsuccessfully to get ahold of anyone on call for an after hour emergency. The room had no power at all so we ended up packing and paying for another hotel room elsewhere after 30 minutes of trying to reach someone.
