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.

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!

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!

Loved the quiet neighborhood. The rooms were older, but very clean. The bathroom fan/light switch needed a new battery. But other than that, great value for the cost. Would highly recommend. Great bread store, market, and Mexican restaurant within walking distance.

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!
