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.

This hotel was relatively safe, which is all I really wanted, but otherwise quite strange. My friend and I were staying here for a music festival in SF, so we arrived to check in after the festival at 11pm. To their credit, there was a staff member there to check us in, but the key card she gave us didn't work. We went back and forth about 4 times (with different cards) before she came out and opened our door for us. When we asked what to do about opening our door in the future, she said to just come get her. Quite inconvenient for everyone involved, but we weren't going in and out that often, and she was readily available when we needed our door opened the next night. The room itself was visibly clean, save for some browning on the walls, which were somewhat off-putting. What was more off-putting was the fact that the bathroom light didn't work, so we just showered with our phone flashlights on. There were also some random thumbtacks in the wall. Not sure how often they actually thoroughly clean the rooms if they didn't notice these things. The listing advertises free parking, but there aren't spots reserved for the rooms, so their small lot is first come, first serve. Arriving late, we had to park down the street. Also, warning about the fridge, it will freeze anything you put in there. Overall it was a fine place to sleep for cheap, so long as you have a good sense of humor.

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.

Solid value

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.

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!

Overall, property was fine, especially for the price. It is in a mixed industrial / residential area, just off the freeway and near the airport, so it’s a few blocks to restaurants or services, but there are good food options if you don’t mind walking a few blocks. Would consider again considering the price advantage over nearby properties.

Good Stay

The stay was wonderful!!! The location is super convenient and the area was quiet and quaint. The only thing I'd like to point out is the restroom had cobwebs and we had a slight spider issue. Nothing too crazy just a little unsettling as we had to kill about 6 spiders in the shower!
