Simple Motel great location

Nice little motel. Very clean. Large room. Bikes to borrow on a first come basis ( we did not use but good to know) Close to Granada theater and all the restaurants and shops on State st. A little under 2 mile easy walk to pier and beach. Down side no coffee in room and sound carries to the extreme.

loved the quiet comfy room---but did miss not having a coffee maker in the room, tho:( There is a fridge, tho---and the room is very spacious. Loved the upper deck for sitting out on---we'll likely be back. There are breakfast and other eateries close by---and it is a Good value for the money.

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.

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.

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.
