Basic utility motel room, but one block from beach and reasonably priced. No A/C, just fans. Wi-Fi sporadic, can't depend on connecting to internet. Pleasant staff. Will repeat.

This was a great location very close to the beach. Room was plain but comfortable. Location was great to access all of the SB waterfront. Hotel was quiet at night. No air conditioning so might be hot in summer.

Bring shower shoes
I had to use shower shoes in the bathroom and there is no air conditioning. They charge you parking, then we found out it was supposed to be free for ca residence. The back of this hotel parking lot faces a pitch black park and people sleep on that street. The office closes at random times and you have to schedule late check ins. I did not want to get in the blankets. The staff is nice but they all lie at all hotels about rates, fees, prices. The woman do a great job.

Great location in east beach. Easy walk to zoo, beach and the carrillo beach center. The property is older, with a paint job to freshen it up. Office and coffee UNAVAILABLE until 730 am. Put coffee makers in each room!

OK
Good price on line but a number of somewhat hidden costs for booking with third party. Lobby staff was focused on their phones more than customer service. A walk to state street but good location for kids and pets. Thank you.
