The rooms are very small, you only have room to walk around the bed. Hardly room for your luggage and belongings. The faucet in our room was missing the spout attachment so water just spewed everywhere, so you're brushing your teeth and getting soaked at the same time. Just not a comfortable experience at all. The little cafe next to the hotel was super convenient and the food was good. Sadly i would never stay at this hotel again.

Bad Customer Service

My reservation was lost. My name was not on the list in the window when I went to the hotel to check what room I was in all the other customers who had a room that night their name was on the window. We ended up going to another hotel and getting a room otherwise we’d be sleeping in the car. I had called Hotels.com, but they were absolutely no help. They told me to start checking the doors and the other rooms and seeing if one was empty, my husband walked in on it was terrible so yes, we had to get a room at another hotel for the night. The next day we went back, went to the hotel and asked them what happened to our reservation? They said we weren’t in the system and they had no room for us. They were full so we went back and called Hotels.com again Ended up talking to three different sets of people. The first two sets of people hung up on us, the third person actually helped us. They called the hotel and they found our reservation which I could put in, but I don’t know who has another name. They have the wrong persons name on the window and that’s why we didn’t get our room. It was a nightmare. The whole trip was ruined, even though it was supposed to be my Mother’s Day gift from my husband. The whole trip was ruined. We got our room from them for that night, but we never did get compensated on having to rent another place previous night. I will never stay at that hotel again and I’ll never get a room from Hotels.com again closing my account. Goodbye.

This is a great location right on thw Embarcadero, and our room had a nice view of Morro Rock. The proximity to Fankie & Lola's is a plus, too, because their breakfasts are great. The room was a little cramped, and the bed a little too firm for my liking. It is a dog friendly hotel, and the biggest turn-off was our neighbor leaving their dogs mess (barf/poop??) outside our door. Not the hotel's fault, but...ick.

Hotel is horrible, the staff is only there from 3-6pm for in person check-in. I had an issue with my room. The toilet around the base was leaking sewage. Under the flooring was drenched and squishy. There was no number to contact the hotel to let them know there was a problem. How can a business especially a hotel have no one on site to help with issues.

Small rooms cozy up to your neighbors

Rooms are very small, Deluxe King was not deluxe. Heavy traffic outside the room. Walls very thin, you can here everything going on next to you. Great location, quick walk to the Rock, or stroll down the Embarcadero, but the price was not work the location. Definantly felt like I way over spent for what I got.

Location, location! Conveniently located in the middle of water / beach activities, restaurants and shops at the bay. Cute courtyard with ample seating options makes the motel exterior warm and inviting. The rooms are extremely small and very outdated. Beds are uncomfortable and our room was not very clean. The floors were filthy and since all rooms are pet room, there was ample pet hair along the floor and baseboards. It was obvious that the floors are not regularly mopped. For the location it worked well for our group of four adventuring adults. For the price I had higher expectations for our room.
