A good spot in the marina
I travel to SF for leisure once or twice a year. I've stayed at this hotel/motor inn for almost all of my stays during the last14 years.I love the location because it is away from the major tourist hubs of downtown and Fisherman's Wharf, adjacent to a neighborhood that people actually LIVE in! This means availability of restaurants and wine bars and regular retail shops, including dry cleaners, ice cream and bookstores. Oh, and bus lines :)
The staff are accommodating and responsive to requests and they have a group of older, regular housekeepers who do a good job. However, on this last stay, the carpet, which is relatively new, was desperately in need of a thorough cleaning. I reported this to the desk and they offered to send staff up to spot clean but this wasn't something that had just occurred. In fact, during my stay, they did have a commercial cleaner going through some of the (I assume unoccupied) rooms so it may be that they were on a routine steam cleaning as the rooms were vacated. What bothered me was the spots and stains of coffee spills (?) that regular cleaning staff should have reported or addressed directly.
It's a great spot that works well for my travels in the area and I hope that updating and replacement cycles are brought up because I would stay there again, assuming those were addressed.
Note that there is the Motor Inn that has individual rooms and there are the Suites which are in a separate, adjacent building.
