It was a good place. Loved the neighborhood and the hotel itself. I just was not there long enough to truly enjoy it. I would definitely return.

Reasonably priced and good location in area.

Needs Improving.
What's the old saying, you get what you pay for. Heater did not work, Bed was comfortable but one pillow case had a very small blood stain. There is a chair in the room that needs to go, or be re upholstered. Slept good, plenty of blankets. No coffee, no microwave. Had a small fridge. Country store and an Ihop up the road.

Great spot to stay
Our stay was great! The room was clean as a whistle. The Presidio is advertised to be a little bigger and more luxurious than it actually is, but that’s a minor thing. The staff was super helpful at check-in as well.

6/10 Good

It’s a clean place to sleep with the basics. It’s overpriced being it’s a motel and they don’t offer early check in.

Our stay added to the fun of the family visit.

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed overnight here while we were travelling up the coast to SF. The staff were extremely helpful, the office manager even moved their car to enable me to get a park (as I was in a Ram) as there was only a couple of parks left and was too tight a squeeze for it. The room was great, the place quiet. The place had bikes for use so we were able to take a ride on the day we were leaving. We could happily return again.

Spacious rooms in quiet area
Very spacious room and comfortable bed. Nice quiet end of State St, but still walkable to the busier part of State St. as well as the mission. Rental bikes were very convenient to get around.

Never again.
The area was nice enough but this room was bad. The carpet, if you could call it that, felt disgusting like it had not been vacuumed in months. The mirror in the bathroom was chipped on all edges and look older that me. There was a recliner that looked like it belonged in a second hand store. This place was not worth the money we spent. The front desk lady seemed nice enough but the room was terrible. Will never go back to this hotel.
Really, who would sit on this for any reason?

I've stayed here at least a half dozen times over the years and it's consistently good. It's an ideal location. It's not fancy but clean and comfortable.
