The entire grounds smell like cat urine. Ferrel cats tripped the motion sensor at night. Bathroom was filthy. I got in at 2 am from a humanitarian mission over seas and had a large heavy bag that I couldn’t drag or carry. I had to leave my gear in the lobby because I couldn’t access a hotel cart or get assistance.I was put on the second floor. I got in at 0200 (because of the Aries in the Wast Coast)and had to leave the next morning at 0500. I did not have any options to find something else. Carpet was so filthy… I laid towels down so I could walk from the bathroom to the bed.. Spoke with Vivian about the predicament and she offered zero resolution. She didn’t return my calls and she wasn’t there when Hotels.com told me to call her directly This was after spending an hour with Hotels.com explaining my predicament. I never leave a bad review unless I have any other options. I feel like people do this all too often. I am a business owner and I get this. I’m sorry we could not come to a resolution . This place is disgusting.

Best aspects: Super clean room, GREAT location, very nice breakfast buffet, nice size room and updated amenities, responsive and courteous staff. Rate was outstanding/a true bargain for this prime Bay Area location!! Has an old-style California vibe, but well maintained for the most part. Plenty of parking available. Drawbacks: Internet service is free but very slow and sluggish; shower door latch was broken; outside room entrances feel less secure compared to inside entrances.

The breakfast was really good. Real eggs cooked with peppers, and real potatoes. My room needs some repairs-edge of carpeting, tiles, stained bathtub. Seemed like a high price for the stay considering the condition of the room. The breakfast was very good, so I ended up feeling like that made up for the room being a bit shabby. The staff was nice and the hacienda style of the place was cool.
