Convenient location but room was not clean
I was visiting SF alone in July 2012. It was a last minute decision and so I did not have much choice as most of the decent hotels were full or expensively priced. I selected Surf Motels as it was located at a convenient location with free parking. Overall I was not impressed, there is no way I would have stayed here if I was travelling with family. These motels on Lombard Street are called Motor Inns. The room was a single bed. 
The Carpet was smelling and I was told to turn the AC on and open the windows to vent the odor. The blanket was old (the cheap mustard color type) and had some stains. The comforter was old, worn out and stains that were camoflauged by the print. The bathroom was old and just OK. The curtain was old and the rod was bent, these are items that are inexpensive and easily replaced. When I spoke to the front desk about the carpet, he said he would talk to the owner. To be frank I just felt dirty and made sure I did not walk bare foot at all times. 
The only plus point was that the linen was clean, the towels were thinned out. They have some pastries at the front desk in the morning no breakfast. The in room coffee maker was not clean and I did not use it at all. 
The location is convenient as there is an IHOP next door with some restaurants close by. There is a Bus stop close by and it is a couple of miles from Fishermans wharf and the Golden Gate .

I did a few checks on motor inns on Lombard street and found out they were priced the same or slightly higher but had much better rooms and clean too. So check them out .
