The online booking process and staff at the front counter made check-in nice and simple. After receiving my room key, I entered a clean, well-prepared room stocked with fresh towels, soap, and conditioner. The bedding was clean, soft, and very comfortable, making for a restful night's sleep. If using public transportation to get to from the hotel, SamTrans Route 292 & 130/130B would be the best selection.

The location is very close to the San Francisco Airport so its very convenient if you have flights to catch or arriving late and you need a place to stay. The building itself is already dated but they were able to maintain its functionality thru upgrades, the rooms are decent, clean, well maintained and well supplied. My only comment is the smell of smoke, or somebody just left the room and the smell of smoke lingers. Also parking space is quite a challenge specially if you are coming in late like 7pm upwards, maybe one way to look at this is that there are lots of people choosing this place for place to stay. They have shuttle service so that is a plus. Breakfast is simple, don't expect a full on buffet breakfast. Just toast, cereals, bagels, milk, coffee & juice. Price affordable and competitive compared to similar tiered hotels/inns. All in all its a decent place to stay for 1 or 2 nights, comfortable and affordable.

The hotel staff was friendly and welcoming. The complimentary airport shuttle was convenient and a nice perk. The rooms were spacious, and the location provided easy access to Fox Rent A Car and Costco. The hallway carpets could use some attention, and the complimentary breakfast was heavily focused on carbohydrates with limited higher-protein options. You have to pay for parking.

We booked this hotel last minute to attend a funeral and it was about 10mins away from the cemetery where service would take place. While the lady at the front desk was kind enough to let us check in earlier than 3pm, our stay was not great. You have to download an app to get a digital key to access your room. Parking was $16/day, not sure if that was advertised on Expedia anywhere, but that was unexpected. I was issued a 'non-smoking' room/floor - as we entered the elevator the combination of weed and cigarette smoke hits you in the face. The actual 2nd floor was no different, until we walked down the hall to our room: that's where the stench of vomit filled the air and it was horrendous. Our room itself (204) was okay - since it was just a 1 night stay we didn't mind any other amenity besides a clean bed and a bathroom - the actual toilet seat cover broke off the minute it was touched. In the AM the vomit stench didn't subside; we tried to make it to the continental breakfast that ended at 10am (it was 930am) and most items were completely done. When we asked the front desk clerk if they were fully out of cream cheese for the few bagels left, he told us to wait while he helped out a guest with a dispute, but the cream cheese assistance never came. We went back upstairs, packed up our bags and checked out earlier than the regular check out time through the mobile app they have you download. Definitely not how we wanted to spend our time of grief - lesson learned!

I felt misled by the reviews and photos of this listing. It is old, not newly remodeled. Peeling paint, scraped up floors, couldn't tell if it was dirt or scratches and stains in the bathtub. Hallway smelled like smoke and bleach. There were bugs in the bathroom and hair on the floor too. My room's AC was broken and the lady at the reception desk literally didn't care, didn't offer ANY solutions, and kept arguing with me that it was fine. I called Expedia customer service to see if they could help (and they did!!!!) and she kept hanging up on them as if that would make me go away. Expedia refunded me and I was able to rebook next door at a MUCH nicer, cleaner, comfy hotel for the SAME price. This place is a scam. Unless you're okay roughing it, don't pick this.

The staff is a little unaccommodating when it comes to policy and such. I arrived very late, around 2AM since I drove from Los Angeles and still had to pay parking for the property for the entire stay. Then I had to check out around 11 same day due to a family emergency that required me to fly out immediately. I told this to the desk and instead of being sympathetic, I was told “well it’s non-refundable except the parking” and to add there was a comment of “your reservation will remain open” after I clearly said I was flying out same day due to an unforeseeable emergency. The property’s interior smells heavily of recreational use, the space was smaller than advertised and overall would just get a ‘Ok’ rating. Good for a quick shower, a quick nap and not much else.

I didn't realize I would have to pay to park at this hotel. When we arrived at the hotel in the evening there was no where to park, even though I had paid to park. I spoke with the employee at the desk and she told me to park in the bus spot or the EV spot if it was open. It wasn't. I ended up parking in the bus spot but the next night they put cones there so cars couldn't park. The elevator was scary! The noise level on our floor was terrible.

If you need a place to stay and catch an early morning plane this property if fine. I would NEVER stay at the property for more than a day. Here are just a few reasons:
1) there was no counter space for the sink
2) room lighting was non terrible
3) no desk to work on
4) Wi-Fi was slow
5) parking inconvenient and was charged $16
6) breakfast has no protein options (like a hard boiled egg) and the rest of the food was not nutritional empty calories.
7) check in was unwelcoming

This place charged me a fee to park in their parking lot. I had a dog with me so I paid $75 per night per dog on top of that I would not call this complementary breakfast. I would call this bagels bread and a toaster on the countertop. We were on the third floor and it was extremely noisy. I was woken up multiple times I saw all the total of eight people in one room if you want somewhere cheap to stay this is not it. They have a bunch of hidden fees that they don’t tell you about until you get there.

Good water pressure, clean towels, nice staff. I was there for the beach and the sites, not the room. Perfectly suitable if you are looking for a cheap room in the Bay. I gave it 3 stars because it's a solid 3 star hotel.

The photos are nowhere even what the place is like. Let's break this down...

Parking cost $15/ night. The lot needs to be replaced. You're parking next to two power towers. The lot is always full. You're next to a busy intersection.

The breakfast wouldn't be too bad if guest weren't sneezing and blowing their nose next to the food area. Bagel, pre-made waffles, coffee.

Door to rooms stick. Meaning hard to open with card. My room had a musty smell. The bathroom sink literally sat next to your room door and had no space to even place the hair dryer. The laminate floors had 'stuff' stuck to it. Glad I brought my own slippers. Baseboards along room were sticky. The bathroom door had water damage. Walls had marks of 'stuff along the rooms and bathroom. Shower handle was loose and hard to turn on.
Closet had a spring loaded rod. No desk or table. Recliner was light weight so it moved when you sat and the chair had a small table attached to it. The air conditioning unit had tape to protect it.

Guest actually lived there in rooms week to week. No issues about that because you live where you can than on the street with your kids, but the noise level in the halls would wake me up all through the night. There is no housekeeping except the mornings to clean room. If you need garbage picked up in evenings, no one will come.

Unfortunately, I had to stay 4 nights for work. Will NEVER stay there again.

We usually stay here when flying into SFO. It's close to the airport, reasonably priced rooms, has a good breakfast and there is a shuttle. However, something to know about the shuttle. It does not run in the afternoons . If you arrive then, you have to wait around until 5:00 or take a taxi or uber. Although this is a modest hotel with simple rooms, it meets our needs and we will stay there again on our next trip.
