It was a nice place but our room has a musty smell when we first came … but they fixed it right away. Don’t do much on the amenities as it was raining most of the time and we usually get back to the Inn by night time. Otherwise it was a great place.i have 4 stars because it was too far from the SFO airport which I didn’t realize it ( it was my fault).

I had searched for free parking when we booked the room, at check in we were told that we would be charged $17 for their “amenities” which was parking, pool, and workout room. We were given a bottle of wine at check in, I would have rather not paid for the amenities. Room was small as was the bathroom area, but the room was very clean.

A nice place, with nice people and nice accommodations. However, the continental breakfast provides no ability to take a 2nd cup of coffee and a second danish back to the room for your travel mate. They will not provide a tray or a coffee holder or a box. So if you want coffee, you have to go get it. Seems strange.
