San Francisco's First Motel
— Since 1937

Sunset Magazine, 20 Best Coastal Weekends:  "San Francisco's hotels cluster downtown.  But there's something to be said for a stay on the city's saltier, breezier, and less-known Pacific Ocean edge.  Out here, a room at the Ocean Park Motel gets you in with the wetsuit-wearing, wave-riding crowd at Ocean Beach, famously foggy in summer but warm and sunny come September.  The 1930s streamline moderne motel has a pretty courtyard and (in many rooms) cute kitchens — all at a reasonable price, especially for the city.  And it takes dogs, which is handy because Ocean Beach is dog heaven."
