"The room was OK, but the bed felt like sleeping on a board. We're older and avoid stairs, but our room location required walking down stairs to catch the elevator. The restaurant was dull, and the menu was limited. The drinks were overpriced, and the ambiance was lacking. No valet parking, and the parking fee was outrageous. Don't stay at this hotel.2018-09-07"
"A very enjoyable stay. Don't hesitate to book at this hotel.2016-02-28"
"I got a room upgrade and was on the 25th floor. The view was fantastic. The bed was comfortable. My only complaint was a crying baby that woke me up at 6 AM. Parking was expensive but worth it.2015-04-13"
"The rates were reasonable. The hotel lounge was beautiful and had fascinating Victorian antiques. The room was well-decorated, and the elevator was easy to access. Helpful, friendly personnel and nice breakfast. If you like Victoriana, you'll love this place.2021-12-09"

"Great location. The entire hotel had a strong fragrance odor that wasn't pleasant. The bed linens were shabby. There was a rusty light fixture in the bathroom, and it took a few minutes for the water to get hot. The towels were plush. Friendly staff and competitive rates.2017-11-06"
"The motel was noisy and dark because of the wooden ceiling, but the room was clean and the staff was nice. Walk to everything. If you just need a place to sleep, this is a good place. I'd stay again.2017-10-18"
"The motel employees let us use their microwave since the breakfast area wasn't open in the evening.2016-06-22"

"I loved the location. The hotel room was lovely, but the water heater and AC were quite noisy. Great service at the front desk. The bar wasn't that good. Go to Sweet Maple for breakfast.2017-09-28"
"Renovations made my stay unpleasant. Half the hotel was closed, including access via one stairway. Pick another place to stay until work is done here.2015-09-01"
"Affordable and close to the courthouse. The motel and employees were great, but the surrounding area wasn't. A perfect place for a quick stay or if you're planning on staying in the room a lot.2022-01-27"
"The room was clean. The staff was nice enough to upgrade me to a room with a double bed. I didn't sleep well due to industrial or construction noise. Very little parking at the hotel; I had to park at a meter.2016-01-25"
"Just a few blocks from City Hall, the opera house, lots of coffee shops and restaurants, and bus routes. We walked everywhere. This hotel was just right for the price. The room was spacious and clean, but dated. Had a fridge, microwave, sofa, table and chairs, and a nice, big TV. No clock in the room. The beds were comfortable. Nice helpful clerks at the front desk. Parking was free and in a garage.2015-04-14"
"The hotel had a great vibe. The staff was friendly and really fun. We enjoyed our stay and the skee ball. Eat Pearl's burgers, see a show, and stay here for a unique experience.2016-04-25"
"The motel was noisy at night from the bar at Chamber's, so I had to leave the TV on to drown out the music and yelling people. Other than that, my stay was fine.2017-06-06"

"Close to Union Square for shopping, and within walking distance of Moscone Center. The location was on the edge of the Tenderloin area, which has quite a few homeless people. The hotel was older, but had been updated. Not a lot of TV channels. Not a lot of amenities, and the restaurant hours were limited. No room service.2023-04-30"
"The room was great; it was comfortable and beautifully designed. The hotel staff was attentive. There was an "amenities fee" of $75, but I don't know what the fee covered other than coffee and tea in the lounge in the morning. I'd stay here again.2021-11-21"
Great location near Union Square and shops; easy walk to Chinatown. The carpet needed updating, but the hotel overall was charming with original artwork everywhere. Comfortable bed with good linens. Nice bath products. The Library Bar off the lobby was lively but not crazy, and had friendly bartenders and a complimentary glass of wine each night.

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
