Parking was easy. Super convenient and close to things and it was nice to have an actual kitchen. Anytime I saw the staff and had a question they were very nice and helpful
Pretty good place, there were some loud people there when I went but its a 30 second walk from the beach and the people couldn't be heard inside the room. Everything was clean, staff was nice, easy parking. The furniture inside the room looks like it's vintage but it functions. The back patio has a nice visual of a pond or inlet or something. Would definitely stay here again.

I loved and been here first time stay at Coral Reef November 2016. Changed in some ways but not much.
I really enjoyed my stay. The location was perfect,close to everything and very convenient. I also love how safe and comfortable I felt during my visit. Th only small thing was that the cleanliness could hav a little better, but overall it was a very pleasant experience.

Staff were nice. Location was awesome. Near the beach, shops and restaurants. Room is very rundown. Furniture is very old, there was leak from kitchen sink, tv remote was missing, toilet seat won’t stay up, closet doors were all off rails, electric stove didn’t work, carpet pretty dirty. At night you can hear a lot of yelling, loud music, and foot steps.
The location really made up for the terrible room.

We were gone all day, and only slept and showered there. Its quite dated, but in good condition. The only complaint would be the front desk never being answered. Pretty much have to walk down to the lobby. Once you're there though, the staff is very helpful :)

They need to invest in: new carpeting, table and chair sets, a carpet shampooed, taller toilets, and desk chairs.
This place was pathetic and filthy. There was strong smell everywhere.

Plenty of parking. However the facilities and rooms are dirty. The place needs rehabilitation. The rooms still have old rotary phone. The lobby still has pay phone.

I wouldn’t stay here again. The room didn’t match the quality based on the listing. The place needs a renovation.
The service was poor; the rooms smelled musty, and the breakfast area only had bread and cereal that looked stale.

The staff here are wonderful,
Check-in agent named Sunil is always so very nice to me, tries to give me my favorite room,
Check-out agent named Celia is a sweet person and her husband always helps me with my luggage because he knows i'm disabled.
As a traveling musician, this is the only place that I stay in the bay area.

Rooms very outdated, carpets were filthy, wouldn’t use the stove or anything in the kitchen, the beds where old and lumpy, had a musty smell , did have big closets and was spacious, no ice on property, rooms do not look like they do online, the breakfast was yogurt, toast, cereal and a danish. Staff was nice
