Pros:

La localisation proche de l'océan et du parc.
Accès facile aux points d'intérêts de la ville grâce aux transports

Cons:

Murs en carton (on entendait les voisins ronflés), peu d'équipements (frigo par exemple).
Mais par rapport au prix payé, c'était correct

Terrible place to stay for sleeping might as well sleep on the beach
Pros:

This location was very close to the beach and walking distance to safeway.Grocery store. Very big room

Cons:

The beds need to be thrown away and replaced.It was the most terrible stay for sleeping i've ever had in my life. In a motel/hotel and we travel a lot, there's no ice machine, even though there's an ice bucket, there's no amenities at all. No shampoo, hairdryer, fridge, microwave. It's very loud all night long the beds were stained with pee/blood. The bed frame on the king bed was not even attached to the wall or put together.It was falling apart as we're laying on it, they were like a very uncomfortable hammock, We considered sleeping on the floor. The bedframes stick out to where If you're not careful, they will really hurt your legs. It wouldn't be a bad place to stay if they were just upgrade their furniture add an ice machine at the office. It does have air conditioning and heat and you can open the windows even though I wouldn't suggest it because it seems like a sketchy area. We wore our Crocs in the shower because it was disgusting.

Traumhafte Lage aber miserable Unterkuft!
Pros:

Das einzig schöne an diesem Motel 6 ist die Lage! Direkt am Beach gelegen in wirklich schöner Umgebung auch gleich noch am Golden Gate-Park und mit ausgezeichneten Bus- und Tram-Verbindungen in die Stadt, aber dann dieses Motel, dass so gar nicht in die Sparte Motel 6 hineingehört, sowas habe ich zumindest mit Motel 6 noch nicht erlebt.

Das Zimmer, das wir zugewiesen bekamen, befand sich im ersten Stock. Schon im Treppenaufgang brütete ein Taube und es war rundherum extrem schmutzig, aber da schläft man ja nicht. Die Möblierung des Raumes, wenn man das Wort Möbel überhaupt anwenden möchte, war äußerst primitiv, teilweise kaputt und ausgesprochen dürftig, nur ein recht wackeliger Stuhl, das Badezimmer muss mal andere Zeiten erlebt haben, aber das lag Jahrzehnte zurück, besonders das Waschbecken befand sich in einem recht ekeligem Zustand. Die Betten, gut die gingen so einigermaßen.
Am liebsten wären wir gleich wieder ausgezogen, aber wir waren ja wegen San Francisco hier und da hätte uns ein Theater dieser Art nur diese Traumstadt vergrämt.

Fazit: NIE wieder dieses Motel!!!

Cons:

Eigentlich ALLES!

Pros:

Motel jsme vybraly především kvůli vlastnímu parkování a skvělé poloze jen kousek od oceánu, protože jsme měly v plánu strávit poslední dopoledne krátkým trekem podél pobřeží.
Příjemně nás překvapilo, že jsme místo jednoho pokoje dostali dva oddělené. Celkově jsme byli s ubytováním spokojení – vše bylo čisté, pokoj byl vybaven topením, které jsme vzhledem k chladnějšímu počasí ocenily, a během pobytu jsme nenarazily na žádný problém. O to více nás překvapilo, že recenze na tento motel nebyly příliš dobré, protože naše zkušenost byla naopak pozitivní.
Velkým plusem byl také ochotný personál. Před check-inem jsme si mohly bez problémů uschovat zavazadla a nakonec nás dokonce ubytovali už kolem 9. hodiny ráno, protože jeden z pokojů byl připraven dříve. Stejně vstřícní byli i při odjezdu – po check-outu jsme mohly nechat auto ještě nějakou dobu dle naší potřeby zaparkované na jejich parkovišti, které bylo pod dohledem kamer. Díky tomu jsme si mohly v klidu užít poslední procházku po pobřeží, aniž bychom se musely starat o zavazadla.

Blisko do komunikacji miejskiej, parking pod hotelem.
Pros:

Szybkie zameldowanie, lokalizacja była ok, chociaż w tej lokalizacji wieje od oceanu niemiłosiernie.

Cons:

Łazienka jak na motel była poprawna, ale widać stara wannę, umywalkę która wygląda jak po kilkudziesięciu latach i daje obraz brudnej. Trzeba się kąpać w klapkach.

It was a short stop and the place worked very well for us.
Pros:

Location was great. Free parking was right in front. Like having no carpet on floors!

Cons:

It's getting a little rundown, possibly because it's right next to the beach; might be considered rustic.

Wasted potential
Pros:

So much wasted potential with this Motel 6. The location is great, on the third floor rooms have gorgeous views of the ocean. What could be cleaned (floors, bathroom) was very clean. For the price I got through Booking ($105/night), it can’t be beat, but…

Cons:

everything was let down by Motel 6 quality. The windows wouldn’t close all the way, allowing cold air and street noises in all night, and since the only blanket provided was paper thin, we had to crank the heat up. Even then it was hard staying warm.
The shower head was broken, spraying water everywhere except where you want. The lights flickered like in a horror film.
