Room has a slight odour, the toilet seat was slightly loose, towels could do with replacing with new ones and slight odour to the room but the key area like bed and bathroom were clean. Staff were nice and it has parking and decent sized room.
At the end of the day, it did the job I needed and you know you're not gonna get a 5* hotel.
TV and phone were not working in the room. Room was clean and this is a good location near the airport with free parking. But if you need more than a bed to sleep I’d go somewhere else.
Perfect for our needs. Near the airport, not chaotic, and a great base of operation for visiting San Fran.

Everything was OK. Just OK. I was on the top floor so I could hear plans. My biggest problem was the TV in the room didn't work. The box was unplugged. I check in at 11 and left at 4 AM so I wasn't really concerning.
Other than that . The shower was nice with good pressure. Internet was good. Just a little run down.
The room was clean and spacious. The beds were so comfortable. The staff are outstanding in their service. So friendly and helpful. We were really late arriving and checking in, and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. 10/10 would stay here again, and recommend to anyone.

Cabinetry was outdated. Some needed replacement and renovation. A mattress topper would have improved the bed comfort. It was clean and adequately equipped.
Kind and accommodating staff, the facility has improved since the last time I booked few months ago. Before, the room smelled bad like cockroach..its better this time
Great value. Clean and beds were comfortable. Bathroom was clean though a little dated, easy check in-out. Not so convenient to get to BART if you plan to get into the city, but not terrible either.
Would stay again on a budget.
Pros: Room was clean and functional, parking was good.
Cons: breakfast was poor... sweet cookies.

Pleasant property, clean, in a residential area and relatively quiet. Bed was comfortable. On the other hand, in our room phone was broken, smoke detector had been destroyed and TV didnt work even after notifying staff.
Check-in was easy and simple through the little window. There was free parking and there was always parking available during our stay. The room was clean and everything worked great from the microwave and fridge to the AC. For the price, I found it completely worth it. The location isn’t bad at all either, we were able to walk to coffee shops. I’d stay here again!

Arrived at 10:30 pm. The woman who was working seemed bothered that i woke her up and she took forever to answer the bell. The vending machine dont take credit so was unable to get a drink or something to eat. Room was clean. Air worked well. Shower had no water pressure and blow dryer was broken. Called front desk several times with no answer. Never found out the wifi password because she wouldn't answer the phone!

I've been to this hotel many times over the years, and this is the worst I've seen in the condition of the room. Both shower and sink faucet leaked. There also sounded like there was some kind of leak from above the ceiling near the sink. These rooms have been neglected and are in serious need of maintenance and appliance upgrade. Staff was courteous and accommodating when I requested a different room. Room was otherwise perfect for my needs, which was to sleep and do some work using the desk table.
