The motel has a central courtyard that is lovely with lots of flowering plants. Rooms are clean and comfortable but slightly dated. Staff, especially Brendan, are very helpful and friendly. Lots of restaurants nearby and easy to walk to. Walgreens is at the end of the block, but a lot of things are locked up so you have to get help to access them. Short walk to the Presidio and Palace of Fine Arts. My only issue is the parking situation. There aren't enough garages for the number of rooms, so it's first come, first served. We noticed several people closing the garage doors when they left for the day, hoping to "save" their spots, so we had to go around opening doors to find parking on three nights. They were also placing locks on the doors occasionally. There's no real parking nearby either. Road noise can be an issue, especially if you get a room facing Lombard street. Rooms have microwaves and mini fridges but beware. Fridge tends to freeze produce, even at the lowest setting.
