Pictures are not what they seem bathroom was dirty, no television no ac or heat. The minute you enter the hotel it’s smells like smoke even if you choose nonsmoking the rooms have a smoke smell, the second night you can hear people shouting shutting doors. This is not a hotel I would recommend for family’s couples or anyone in general. The area even though there are shops nearby and touristy the hotel is horrible.

The first room no heat, could not see out of the window. I asked to move to a different room. Was able to get a different room the next day. The room was great until I used the toilet. The toilet had flushing issues . I had to take the cover off and manually make the toilet add more water to flush out the toilet of number 2. At first it did not flush good it would back up. Had to increase the water flow into the tank prior to flushing so the flushing would complete the draining cycle. Over all it was a good clean room . I was happy

Cheap and Good Location Don’t Make A Good Stay

The location is easy to find and the check in was perfectly pleasant. The room had many issues: - pins, a needle, and small shards of glass on the floor - busted lampshades - sticky bathroom floor and dirty counter - TV remote missing the plastic back and with dead batteries - half the outlets not working A couple positives: - Sheets looked fresh and clean - Fridge and coffee maker worked - Location is near many restaurants, bars and BART I didn’t have a chance to try the breakfast due to my check out, which was also nice. I likely wouldn’t stay here again; there are a few hotels where you can get good quality for a low price. This isn’t it, sorry.

Parking pretty safe. Towels very thin, old , and of a skimpy size. Worst towels I’ve ever had at a hotel! No iron or hair dryer in room. I had to ask for them At front desk. Ironing board had only one leg. I found second leg broken off in closet.

My room smelled terrible (like urine). My shower door would not close without some force. I never had housekeeping service my room. We had to leave trash outside the doors to get taken away. The door didn’t lock for the first two days (was resolved). The tv never worked even though I requested it to be looked at. I was there for 11 nights. TV should have been a priority! Neighboring rooms have a thin wall/door in between and I could hear everything. (I didn’t know them).

Took the train to Jack London Sq. Amtrak station is a short walk away. But trains literally pass right in front and honk horn loudly, so it is NOISY. Didn't interrupt my sleep, tho. Building is old but updated. Room was spacious. Bathroom clean. Frustrated trying to get TV to work. Easy once someone showed me how, but there should have been instructions in the room. Cont. Breakfast was limited but good. Close to restaurants and Bay Trail. A bargain.

As soon as I went down the hall, I could feel this place was not for me. I left within an hour of check-in and booked another hotel. I was excited to explore the area, but this was just not it. I’m sorry.
