We've always been advocates of small Hotels and B&Bs, but this place just confirms you get what you pay for. First - the front desk agent was the most impolite person we've ever met. Somehow checking you in at 2:30pm is supposed to be a huge favor to you. There were others waiting since 9am. They insist on charging you an extra fee for "using the safe" even if you don't want to use the safe. They refuse to accept credit card for the fee. When we tried to refuse, they told us we can leave or pay the "early check in fee" of like $30. what?!
They are highly unprofessional. Don't expect anything other than a room.
Don't expect anything from the free breakfast - your choice of bagels, Fruit Loops, or raisin bran.

This hotel is a small building owned by the same people at the Ocean Surf Resort next door.
It's right next to an abandoned, boarded up building, so it looks pretty dingy.

It has no lobby or reception. You have to be buzzed in or out by a camera linked to the Ocean Surf hotel. There is no elevator. You have to drag your luggage up the stairs. The room is small and grimy. I did not feel relaxed and comfortable in the room.

A free Continental breakfast is included, which you have to walk to the Ocean Surf hotel, another small dingy hotel next door to have it. Both places are dingy and busy with young foreign visitors sitting in the lobby and out on the front porch, that they feel more like cheap hostel. Then there are a number or unkempt, homeless people who hang out at all hours day and night on the sidewalks, who would approach visitors to sell drugs.

For a few more dollars a day, it feel much better and safer to go next door and stay at the Days in North Beach.

The prices are low for a reason. Overall it was fine. Be sure to lock your valuables in the safe.

This was the worst hotel I've ever stayed at! I booked the hotel on Expedia, and the place had gotten pretty decent reviews on there. The room we were first given was literally falling apart (and they told us that these rooms had recently been renovated and were the best that the hotel could offer!) The blinds were broken so you couldn't let any light into the room (not that there was much of a view because we were facing the wall of the building next door). The walls were moist and falling apart, the ceiling had a huge crack in it. The bathroom smelled like excrement which was a lovely bonus. The bed did not have any sheets on it, just the mattress cover. The phone in the room didn't work. The TV was from the 1920's. My favorite part however, was the TV remote in the room which not only did not work, but had a giant hole in the bottom, when I picked it up, a spider crawled out of it! (see picture!) The air conditioning didn't work; it was being held together with tape. When we asked to change rooms, they put my fiance and I in a room with two double beds. This room, although slightly better than the last was still horrendous! There were two chairs in the room that had foot prints on them and we were lucky because we could choose from two beds; one with tiny blood stains on the sheets (likely from bed bugs) or one with a huge urine stain on it. When we told the receptionist that we did not want to stay here she told us that our hotel was non refundable and just offered to change the sheets for us. We ended up booking at another hotel and lost $430. Also the place doesn't have an elevator. I wouldn't even recommend this place to youths looking for cheap rooms; you can probably find cleaner hostels than this!
