We stayed here while visiting San Francisco on a road trip. We were a little late with booking as we had a fairly loose driving schedule and when we realised we were due to arrive on a Saturday night in May (and had to book the day before) our options were limited! (Take note all you future roadtrippers! Don't make... More

I booked the hotel for 2 nights, but ended up dropping my bag and spending the first night with my friend in the hospital (the reason for my trip). If when you arrive at a hotel and there are more "guests" hanging out in the lobby than people checking in, run. The hotel is run down, but it's clean. The... More

Hotel is 5 minutes from SFO airport. Room was clean, but very simple, small and old. It was little bit noisy because of bad windows and close highway. Very simple breakfast was coffey, self-made pancakes (which I liked) with mapple sirup, apples and some in plastic packed cookies. We paid 74 usd, stayed 2 persons, I was a little bit... More

Probably the best thing to be said for this place is the bed was very comfortable. Apart from that the place needs completely overhauling and updating. What with loose toilet seats and faulty electrics with the hair dryer, it makes you wonder what other electrical faults there are. It was ok for one night. Would we stay here again? Probably... More

When you want a very economical stay near SFO, this is the best option. Appreciate the new shuttle service and that the hotel has been recently updated. Don't expect this to be a DoubleTree, but the General Manager Naira is very kind and will try to accomodate your needs.

Nothing to write about except 2 complaints. First, the maids knock on your door from 8 am and every hour afterwards. It's also sad to say that my "motion" light for the hallway never shut off, without a way to unscrew lightbulbs. I was too tired to complain, but it did affect my rest. You'll definitely need a vehicle at... More

Nice, clean place worth every penny you spend - and you will not spend a lot. NO BUGS!! clean sheets, all basic needs (Internet is NOT basic need, although it is free and works) Very friendly hotel stuff. Definitely recommend if you in-between apartments. Convenient location - close to major HWYs (101, 390, 280)

We were a big group and stayed in this hotel for 9 days. The rooms are really small and need some renovation. There are all TVs in the room and the windows are really thin and you cannot close them completely. There is highway near the hotel so it's quite hard to fall asleep with all the noise coming through... More

We have recently addressed some of the issues you mentioned: we are replacing the windows in many rooms, we have new beds, carpets, draperies, and bedding. Unfortunately, we can not change the size of the rooms, but they are average for our area. Hope you will... More
