Very good value for the money. I stayed at this motel for 3 nights. Having lived in San Fran for 7 years in the past, I knew what I was looking for. This Motel while modest in amenities provides great value and location for your money. Included in the price are parking and free wireless internet access. The rooms were small but clean and functional, with iron and ironing board, cable TV and a small fridge. You are within walking distance of the Marina, Ft. Mason, Presidio, Union Street, Golden Gate Bridge, Chrissy Field and a 3 minute bus ride from North Beach and Ghirardelli Square. A 15 minute bus ride from Civic Center BART station (airport connection) and CalTrain station which services towns south of San Francisco to San Jose. Hard to complain when you consider all of the above and how much money you will have left over after staying here to spend on all the good food and wine that can be found about 2 blocks away.

The price and location were great but the walls are paper thing. I am a travelling rep. and stay in a lot of hotels and this place is noisy, noisy, noisy. Light sleepers beware. Other than the noise, the place is clean and does have wireless.

Not sure what to expect after reading reviews but was pleasantly surprised. For the money (£45) this Motel was a good choice. We stayed here for 2 nights at the end of our holidays and found it to be clean and quiet. The room was not fantastic, with the bathroom being on the small side. Shower only and had to close the bathroom door before you could open the shower door, but no great hardship. The room was clean and the cleaners seem to work all day. Just be sure to ask that they leave enough towels. Free parking but no breakfast. The central location was excellent. Be sure to ask for a room at the back as I think the ones at the front along the main road could be noisy.

We stayed at the Town House for 1 night (a Monday) while on our way to Sonoma. It was clean, and the bed was extremely comfortable. In fact, on a 6-night trip to the CA, this was the most comfy bed of them all. The sides of the window coverings (wooden folding blinds) did not completely block out the light, but that did not bother us- we only noticed after we woke up before daylight (having just arrived from the Eastern Time Zone). We were in a room set back from the road, so traffic noise was not a problem either (plus it was a Monday night). This place is not within walking distance of downtown SanFran, but it has a FREE parking lot on the premises, something we later came to appreciate. We did not have trouble with the management, as someone mentioned here earlier, but the person on duty was certainly less than friendly. We would definitely stay here again if we didn't care about being right downtown.

Nice clean motel room, reaonable rate, plenty of parking available and only 5 minutes walk from the bus route to Fishermans Wharfe & Downtown. Simple breakfast served in the reception. Staff were helpful in passing telephone messages on to me. Seemed like a reasonably safe location. About 15 mins walk to Ghirardelli Square.
