The real selling points of this hotel are its location and the free parking. The updated motel has free parking underneath the rooms and we parked on arrival and didn't need to move our car until we left after 3 nights.
The hotel is clean, comfortable and welcoming and offers a very basic breakfast to get you started in the morning. There was no computer to check the internet, so you need to go to the Marina Public Library in Chestnut Street a few minutes walk away - limited opening hours though.
We had a corner room overlooking Webster Street and it was quite noisy with the windows open, so we had to sleep with them closed. The room was large, with a large walk-in cupboard where we stored all our suitcases. There is only a shower, no bath tub.
It is a very easy walk to Chestnut Street where you can catch the number 30 bus (on the corner of Webster and Chestnut Streets - look for the yellow marking on the lamp post). This bus takes you to Ghiradelli Square, Fishermans Wharf, Columbus Avenue (with all its Italian restaurants), Chinatown and Market Street. The number 28 bus on Lombard street goes to the Golden Gate bridge and the Golden Gate Park. Get a MUNI pass and hop on and off the buses, cable cars and trams all day.
