Our reservation was not recorded and they were sold out! The staff was amazing!! Can't say enough about how (Michael?) helped us thru the whole experience. Because of his help we were able to navigate the Expedia system and find rooms. Because of his efforts I would not hesitate to book there again.

The motel was excellently located with bus stop right outside and just a block away from great shops and restaurants on Chestnut Street. Perfect location for exploring San Francisco. The property itself was a little run down, the key cards were not reliable and had to get them redone. The main door, whilst shutting could still see daylight in some parts round the seal, so needs re-doing. This did let noise in and other guests were not always thoughtful of others and noisy at time. However, over all an average stay. Clean and functional and served its purpose. Nothing special and would not look to make a repeat visit.
