The location of this hotel made it worth the stay. it's a few blocks from the Marina District with lots of dining and shopping. It's a little over a mile from Pier 39 and the Uber ride was quick to get there. There are 3-4 coffee shops easily walkable for breakfast. It is an older hotel with low water pressure and nothing fancy, but it is clean and serves its purpose nicely.

Meh
The parking garage is a nightmare.
After struggling to park in the handicapped parking, we were directed to move into a handicapped parking spot tougher because of the size of our car.
It’s a bare minimum room accommodation with zero bells and whistles and our view faced a wall.
