Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very responsive and helpful front desk. The exterior of the motel is a little dated, but the interior seems freshly renovated and very clean, room has a nice clean laundry smell when we entered, and it seemed to be generally quiet. A lot of great restaurants were walking distance including breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. A few bodegas were just down the street as well. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!

Great location on a street full of vibrant daytime activities. Great restaurants (highly recommend Zona Rosa), coffeehouses, and cute shops. Our room was very clean, well stocked, quiet, and comfortable. The staff, especially the proprietor, was friendly, kind, and accommodating. Hands down the best motor inn/motel I've stayed at in my years of traveling. Don't forget to check out the neon flamingos on the signage in the evening!

We like staying here for events we are attending at the SAP Center. There are lots of little cafes and restaurants around the motel, plus there is a Whole Foods market nearby. The staff at the motel are friendly and helpful. Our room was very clean and comfortable, and the amenities were the expected: fridge, microwave, TV, coffee machine, hair dryer, iron, shampoo, lotion. There was plenty of hot water for the shower. Parking is free and easy and we felt our car was secure.
