Great little place close to everything. I had to go to the store at 10pm and all the parking spots were taken. But parkings easy on the weekends just make sure to check signage

Hidden Gem!
This place is a hidden gem! The staff is amazing. Alex at the front desk was so friendly and accommodating. You can’t find another place in SF that has your own private garage with parking included in for free. I will always stay at this motel.

Hidden Gem Suite
We loved the location that was close enough to walk to the marina, The Palace of Fine Arts and The Golden Gate Bridge. The room was a charming suite with bougainvillea blossoms at the two front windows. We felt comfortable and safe with our car stored in the private garage. We would love to return to this lovely spot.

A Gem in the Marina
This place is as darling as it looks! Extra bonus for a parking space, and a kitchen. It's a bit dated inside, but clean. Service is quite friendly. I really like the neighborhood restaurants and stores on parallel Chestnut Street. Definitely will come back!

We loved staying here, it was clean, safe and peaceful. My only concern is the way we had to park on the side as close as possible to the bushes which left some scratches on my car but otherwise everything else was wonderful. The guy at the front desk was pleasant and funny.

Best hotel I have stayed in on my USA tour
I was shocked by how nice this place was - the plants and flowers in the courtyard made it heavenly and the staff (Brendon I think his name was) was so so friendly. The rooms were quaint, old fashioned - which I liked. And it was cheaper than any of the motels nearby - all which were waaaaay less good that the Marina. Loved my stay here!
