I was not expecting the long halls with room but I was gladly surprise with the quietness of the place. It was good I got at a time when there was a parking spot free for us. The only suggestion I have for this place: let potential clients to know that parking is limited and, moreover, let us know what kind of options are there available. But we did enjoy the place, very convenient for everything we needed to do and enjoy. Thanks!

Clean room, friendly staff, close to many attractions if willing to walk. Limited parking so would not rely on this as an option. Opening to rooms is accessible to everyone on the street - locked gate would be preferred but seems like this is the pattern across many of the hotels in that area. Bathroom a bit old with some cracks in the wall but not dirty.

Just okay stay

Toilet seat was cracked and loose and had to be noticed by the cleaning staff. Parking was first come first serve without enough spaces for everyone. This is not revealed in the app. Bathroom very outdated. Staff not very helpful.

We chose this hotel based on other SureStays, cleanliness was good, space is good, however, it showed “parking available” but no mention of parking spots being very limited and staff having priority over guests for parking. We arrived very late at night and had to park a long distance away from the hotel. No elevation available (not handicap friendly) so we have to carry big luggage up the stairs. This should be mentioned

We would not stay here due to the parking situation. The hotel room is clean. I like the 2 beds if you have a family but the disadvantage is you can hear everything outside. It's convenient if you want to be close to tourist places but for me it was very noisy. Oh and parking is so limited! The spaces are small..its more convenient to uber. The front staff could be more friendly. The continental breakfast is good. Pros lots of yummy restaurants around. Pier 39 is only a 10min drive. The front staff called to see if everything in the room was ok. Our family said they would prefer staying elsewhere next time.

The men checking us in said only 1 car per room he said it’s a limited amount. Which I didn’t see in the policy , either way I told him that’s fine can I pay for another parking? He said he didn’t know how to do that! I asked to speak to a manager he said no manager was on site! Then he said we could have us pay $25 for another car parking. He had the worst attitude!!!! Not helpful at all!! Train your people better and teach them how to run a hotel before leaving them alone !!!
