Bad experience
The bedding was disgusting. There was hair all over it upon arrival. There was black mold in the shower. There was also an electrical issue in the bathroom and the lights would sputter randomly.

Great location
The location is great , out of the room and walk to the rock and to the strip of businesses . The room is small not a whole lot of space. Bed not too comfy but for a one night stay it was great spot for walking.

Overnight getaway
Nice stay, rooms are small but clean and comfortable bed. Nice outdoor area with lots of greenery. Very walkable to beach and Embarcadero. Cinnamon rolls in the morning from Frank and Lola's were really good. Pet friendly but you have to walk elsewhere for them to go potty. Very nice overall and family owned.

First room we were assigned to had such an aggressive, harsh chemical cleaner smell that I got a migraine. Second room floors were dirty and the sink leaked so in the morning was walking in several inches of water to go use the bathroom. Would not recommend and will absolutely not ever be back.

Smallest motel room I've ever seen
Considering that the location of the Bayfront Inn is right on the waterfront on Embarcadero, you couldn't have asked for a better location and $110 for the nightly rate on a Sunday night is excellent for this location, in my opinion. But the place is quite small and the room was the smallest motel room I've ever seen. You could barely walk around the foot of the bed without running into the wall. The property is pretty old and it looks and feels like it. The bed was not very comfortable, the state of repair was not great (there was mold on the bathroom exhaust fan cover and the paint was peeling off the ceiling above part of the shower and there was some black stuff in some of the grout in the shower. Other parts of the room needed some attention, also. And when housekeeping made up the bed, the put on the bottom sheet, then the blanket, then the top sheet. I've never seen that done before. On top of that, the description of the room on hotel.com said the room had a king size bed. It did not. The room had a full size bed at best. But it is pet friendly (there's a modest pet fee per night) and is directly facing Morro Rock and the various shops and restaurants on Embarcadero.

Neighbor dog barked too much when left alone. Gladly his owner was with him at night. Clean room staff was nice. Loved the weather but I need an AC no matter how cold it is,, I didn’t pay attention it didn’t have one,, thank goodness it had fans. Amazing walking distance and views
