Please read before booking.
Pros:

Nothing!!

Cons:

We was turned away because we was 20 min early, mind you we was turned away thru a ring camera and was told "check in is at 3pm and look at your watch! You still have 20 minutes!" That was it case cold!! The pictures on booking .com portrait your next to the beach but its far, theres no other buildings but its still far! There is absolutely not 1 eating establishment around the area to eat at unless you eat at an unsanitary taco truck or unsanitary deli ugh 😪 theres a Safeway about a half mile down and up the road BUT NO MICROWAVE IN ROOM, our room had fake wood tile that was bubbled EVERYWHERE on the floor, the only chair they had with no table was stained, dirty, smelly, and ripped!! Im highly disappointed in motel 6 for allowing them to use the name, our king bed had a big dip right in the middle so we woke up bodies stuck together!! Its so uncomfortable, we wanted our money back after the first day but was told from booking.com we will contact you shortly (we are still waiting 1 week after we got home) we had to chase down house keeping DAILY TO GET CLEAN TOWELS, WE NEVER GOT CLEAN BEDDING OR HAD GARBAGE TAKEN OUT IN 6 DAYS!! I highly recommend you stay anywhere but here!! Most of the rooms were occupied by elderly living there! People looking in windows, 2 people knocked on door looking for crack, theres a phone in room that dont work, this motel room literally ruined our perfect weekend we expected!! Im still angry at booking.com letting people post how good this place is LMFAO probably acquainted to the owner!! Over priced and inconvenient cheap motel.

Pros:

Struttura in una buona posizione, quartiere tranquillo!
Il caffè la mattina nella hall era molto apprezzato!

Cons:

Appena siamo arrivati non funzionava la luce, il ragazzo ha dovuto sistemarla, il bagno era molto spoglio e non molto pulito, la vasca presentava ai margini delle incrostazioni nere, al mattino presto si sentivano rumori provenire dalla parte superiore delle camere, ci siamo svegliati così per due matti e, non c’è riscaldamento né aria condizionata

Nel complesso un soggiorno pratico, soprattutto per il parcheggio e per chi viaggia in macchina.
Pros:

Il parcheggio incluso è stato sicuramente comodo e la struttura è facilmente raggiungibile in macchina. Le principali attrazioni di San Francisco sono tutte a circa mezz’ora di distanza in auto, quindi la posizione è comoda per chi si sposta con la macchina.

Cons:

Purtroppo il letto aveva un odore piuttosto sgradevole, che rendeva l’ambiente meno piacevole e dava la sensazione che la biancheria o il materasso non fossero stati adeguatamente arieggiati. È stato sicuramente l’aspetto meno positivo del soggiorno.

Average Motel 6 in good SF location at decent price

Good value, good location, good Thai and breakfast places nearby, decent free parking, comfy bed, fridge in room, free WiFi, free AM coffee in lobby, dog friendly

Cons:

Thin comforter, harsh florescent lighting, no bedside lighting, exterior porch light shines brightly through curtains all night, a little noisy outside at times, TV atop dresser leaning against wall, uneven flooring, generally average for a Motel 6

Should not be open
Pros:

The water in the shower wouldn’t turn off. They had us wait for a plumber who couldn’t fix it. They said we would change rooms the next day so no shower. In room phone didn’t work. Television didn’t work. Attendant was no help. I am a three turn SKAL president and I have never had a worse experience anywhere in the world. Should be closed down. And I canceled the other night but you charged me anyway.

Cons:

Everything

I'll never stay there again.
Pros:

The door had 2 locking mechanisms which felt safe.

Cons:

When I arrived, the shower was running. I tried to turn it off but it was broken. I reported it to the front desk. The front desk said the soonest they could fix it was the next morning. I had to go buy ear plugs so I wouldn't have to listen to the strong splash all night. There was a musty smell in the room. Most of the outlets didn't work. The fridge temperature was so high, it froze my items. I got bitten by something twice, on the arm and leg. Severe itching followed. The upstairs unit blasted music until 3am.

Pros:

Emplacement dans un quartier calme en face de la mer très agréable. Les équipements sont très simples, les chambres sont corrects. Motel basic mais qui au final offre un très bon rapport qualité / prix. Je recommande pour un petit budget au cœur de San fransisco. Le parking est un vrai plus.

The room was clean and the hotel had easy access to the things I wanted to do.
Pros:

This hotel is in a great location. Close to the Beach and Golden Gate Park. Easy to get to and has street parking.

Cons:

The hotel didn't have microwaves or an ice machine or any toiletries other than one bar of soap. Bring your own!

Catastrophique
Pros:

Rien

Cons:

Emplacement dans une rue très passante le long de la plage , très très bruyant, équipements minimum juste un lit , une salle de bain et un frigo . Beaucoup moins que dans tous les autres motels que nous avons vu .
Nous avions réservé deux chambres pour 3 nuits .
Première nuit bruyante mais passable. Deuxième nuit avec un voisin du dessus très bruyant,nous avons demandé à l accueil d intervenir, rien n a été fait .
Nous avons finalement dormi a trois dans la même chambre avec notre fille de 25 ans pour fuir le bruit .
Et nous avons quitté avant la troisième nuit sans excuse , ni proposition de remboursement.
