Well I was transporting my son to an appointment out of town and had to be there in San Francisco. Paying close to $300 for a room it didn't seem quite to be that type of Motel. As soon as you walk in the lobby there's an old smell like rested pipes or mildew and because of that I asked if I could see the room just from the smell of the lobby alone. The staff lady was very rude at the front desk and stated there's only one employee for the whole Motel. She kept pushing off other people so she can book everybody in the lobby before everybody gets to go to their room. I went and seen the room and it was disgusting even though it was picked up and clean the sanitation was disgusting the bed had big old dips and holes in it stains all over the sofas and it was totally disgusting the smell inside the room smell like old mold and the walls outside look like people threw up on them it looked like a Trap House Motel 6. I went back downstairs and told her there's no way I'm paying almost $300 for this plus she was going to charge me another $40 to park. I'm on a fixed income on disability and this was not a hotel that is even close Lee worth the money that people are paying for. They don't inform you of the parking charge. They want to make separate charges when you get to the motel. I told him that I wanted my money back I was refusing to pay and she told me I had a fight to get it back. I did not stay at this Motel I did not sign anything nor did I unpack to even go to the room.

The staff were great, but the room was not in good condition, there was a lot of outside noise, there was no curtain in the shower and the single glass windows let all the noise in. The kids got bug bites as well.

I was told parking was free, then had to pay $30 per day. Property was nothing like the on line pictures, it was very outdated and in need of repairs. My wife and i couldnt sleep the whole night we stayed there because of noises inside and outside the motel. I paid for 2 nights, but packed up and left after the first. The room itself was clean, but it was in need of many repairs. The heater in the room was very loud as well.
