Convenient and clean motel near Waterfront

I stay at the Surf motel many a visit to SF. The staff is friendly, rooms are clean with some updates like laminate floors. It is well situated near the Embarcadero waterfront in SF. Great location and some good food nearby. It is helpful to be able to park in their parking lot with a parking tag as a guest.

Alexandria

Disliked: Amenities
Linens and room were clean but run down. Rust on lamps, bathroom door had loose hinges so didn’t close well, room door needed weather stripping so light and air came in. There was very minimal parking that was first come, first serve. We were able to get a spot but definitely don’t count on it. The area was fine, easy to get the bus to destinations, very walkable.
