Room was ok, typical Motel 6 but it was clean. View of boat harbor was nice. Lots of activity outside in the night, people taking and walking around at 3 am. Wouldn’t recommend for solo women or women with children traveling.

Liked: Staff & service
There is a pretty view of the marina with a walkway alongside of it. The staff were very courteous. There was plenty of parking and it was free. My spouse liked the bed but I thought it was too hard. The sheets were clean and the pillows were comfortable. I appreciated that there was a blanket on the bed. There were enough towels but only one roll of toilet paper. I am sure you can ask for another roll as needed. Bring your own shampoo and conditioner. There is no mini refrigerator. There is room for improvement in these areas: There were some stains on the walls and the floor. Part of the white grout above the shower floor was dark (needed to be cleaned). There was litter along the walkway area near the hotel along the marina. The floor mats in front of the room doors were terrible. They looked very worn out and gave us immediate bad expectations for what the room would look like. New colorful mats could improve the appearance significantly and would give a positive impression.

Staff is great, the motel is old and outdated, old pillows and blankets and the A/C was falling apart: very noisy and not working very well. We got a room with a beautiful view of the Embarcadero that really helped with our stay.Thank you
