“would not stay there again if it was free!!!!!”

Beach Motel

1 of 5 stars
ukiah, ca
May 17, 2008

My wife had a doctor appointment at UCSF medical center and I was having trouble finding a place with reasonable rates. I did not know it was graduation for UCSF and that the Bay to Breakers race was that weekend.

the place was easy to get to from the north. There were no rooms available on the first floor and my wife has a bad hip, so we had to go up the stairs since there is no elevator.

The room was kind of funky. we were overlooking Judah street. The noise from the bar was very loud and made it hard to sleep. Plus the transit trains running up and down the street all night woke us when we did finally get to sleep.

The one good thing about the place was that there is good water pressure and the water temp stayed the same through the whole shower.

When we have to go back down for other presurgery appointments we will probably stay near the airport. There are more hotels near there, and they can be had for about half the $85 dollars I paid for this place!!

My wife just reminded me that there was no shampoo or conditioners provided in the room and that the towels were old and scratchy. Also there were no fans in the rooms and no way to open the windows for fresh air. Although with the noise from the bar we wouldn't have been able to open them anyway.

“Don't stay here!”

Beach Motel

Nov 4, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

I was looking for a place to stay while visiting my father, who was having surgery at UCSF Medical Center, and somehow came across this place. It is near Ocean Beach and close to the N Judah Street Car. So far this sounds ok. Was going to stay here with my elderly mother and shuttle her back and forth to the hospital.

Surgery went well, while Dad in recovery room, went to check into the hotel. Was not expecting anything fancy at $99/nite in San Francisco.

Drove out to motel--it is built over a bar! Not any bar, but a bar with barred windows, several chopper motorcycles parked outside and a pretty rough group standing outside smoking! This was at 3PM.

Decided to look inside hotel, reception desk had bullet proof glass! Room had a funky smell. Decided that I couldn't stay here with my 80 yo Mother, who was looking kind of nervous, waiting in the car.

Sacrificed my one nite deposit and started looking around for another hotel. Luckily found a really nice hotel, Hotel Tomo in Little Tokyo.

“Inexpensive and Ok If You're Not Fussy”

Beach Motel

3 of 5 stars
Los Angeles, CA
Jul 25, 2006

I stayed here for a night during a bicycle trip down the California coast. it was about the cheapest lodging I could find that wasn't a youth hostel.

If was OK. the room was a little funky, and certainly not fancy, but I didn't feel like I was going to get any lingering infections from it.

The evening I was there was pretty quiet. No horror stories.

I would stay here again if it was just me and I wasn't trying to impress anyone.

“Nasty Hotel”

Beach Motel

Oct 4, 2005
7/7 found this review helpful

It has a lingering ordor (not sure what it was), had no a/c or heat, no locks - no screens the windows- You could walk in the room from the windows off of the ledge to any of their rooms, no ice or vending machine, It should be sold as a hourly hotel. We felt our safety and our health were in jeapordy.

“what a nightmare!”

Beach Motel

Aug 23, 2005
9/9 found this review helpful

this motel was recommended by SFSU for parents needing a place to stay when visiting their student. The cleanliness was OK, but the sheets were stained, the room was stincky and the curtains were filthy and warn. Our room windows were on the road and there was a bar just next to the motel. The noise was so loud it was as if the patrons were in our room. Loud yelling, screaming and drumming until 3am. There was no way to drown it out. We
did not stay a 2nd night.
