The room is clean, beds and pillows are comfortable. All you need for a night or five without spending a fortune on the city. We were only there for a night but would gladly spend more here if needed. The included breakfast was very good as a bonus!

Limited breakfast and the AC in the bedroom took quite a while to cool down the room.
Josephine, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The room was very clean. The restaurant had very good food and the beverages in the bar were tasty. The staff were very nice. We will stay again.
Heidi, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We enjoyed our stay here during the last week in July. The front desk staff was very courteous and friendly. We stayed in room 14 and it was very quiet. We had daily housekeeping service. The complimentary breakfast in the restaurant included eggs, bagels with cream cheese, blueberry muffins, boxed cereals, coffee, and juice. Waffles are available upon request. Parking was conveniently available directly in front of our room. The room rate was very reasonable compared to others in the area. We would definitely stay there again. eggs service.

Did not like the noisy freeway and train noise
Jesse, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

This hotel was generally a good value for the cost. However, I am an elderly woman and was assigned a room on the second floor. The property has no elevator so I was obliged to lug my suitcase up a flight of stairs to get to my room.

Outdated amenities.. .
FREDRICK, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Peaceful property, older and vintage but still pleasant. Cleanliness of the bathroom needed to be better as there were cobwebs in the window and splats on the wall. Beds were comfortable.
Jan, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Will travel for a race!

This is an older hotel - kinda feels like visiting my grandma. That said, the rooms are spacious, the folks are super friendly. If you need 5-star, go elsewhere. If you want friendly and affordable with good amenities, stay here. I stay here every time I travel to a Bay Area race.
Terri, 1-night trip

The check in was super easy and the staff is helpful and always available
