Will stay again

We’ve stayed here before when we just need an inexpensive clean room and comfortable bed to crash for an overnight trip to SF; and we’ll likely stay here again. It’s easy to find and convenient location to the freeway and nice staff and onsite parking. My only complaint is there’s no wall outlets near the nightstands for charging cell phones within reach of the bed.
