It's important to understand this is not a hotel. This is a motel. It's a 2-story, U-shaped building with all of the room doors opening to the parking area which is the interior of the `U`. It's a non-smoking property, which is great, but that means people stand or sit outside and smoke where it drifts throughout the area.
The room photo set my expectations above what the actual room delivered. The place was clean, but it's clearly quite old. I could feel and hear every spring in the mattress whenever I moved.
The wifi was pretty weak and the continental breakfast was pre-packaged cheese danishes.
The room decor is old and although the place does seem to be taken care of, it can't help but show its age.
The neighborhood isn't the best, but it's not the worst. It feels like a neighborhood that is in the process of improving. Walking in the evening we saw a couple of people sleeping on the sidewalk but, it's San Francisco, so I think that's kind of par for the course. It's one block away from Polk Street which has several really good places to eat and what looks like some good shopping. But the benefit to this location is its proximity to the Golden Gate, the Wharf, and all the piers. All of these are a short Uber/Lyft ride away.
