Location is great and the staff are friendly and very personable. This is truly a benefit as the hotel has undergone several ownership transitions since I started visiting about a decade ago. Facilities are undergoing renovation a floor at a time, so some rooms are better than others. However the restaurant is great, with seasonal menu changes, and the location adjacent to the lagoon has wildlife and nice walkability.

Some of the surrounding areas can be pretty busy and cause travel times to take much longer than expected. Especially Downtown San Francisco. Having a much quieter, modern, comfortable, and more laid back place to get back to and relax definitely helps. It’s centrally located to multiple popular areas, including the SF airport, Palo Alto/Stanford University, Half Moon Bay, Golden Gate Bridge, etc. I would definitely stay here again if I have a need or desire to return to the region.

Disliked: Room comfort

Bed is rock hard

The hotel is located in a quiet area surrounded by businesses. However, it’s also located near a small airport for personal planes and those are very noisy and heard often during the day. Only an Issue for those that sleep during the day. Nice view of lagoon. Convenient self parking. Lobby is very nice, with bar, and cafe. Disappointed with the room, weird musty smell in room. The water pressure in the shower is almost non existent. When the toilet clogged, and a request was made at the front desk for help, no one came to fix the toilet. The mattress is rock hard, with a pillow topper on top. Which is somewhat ok for back sleepers. If you’re a side sleeper you will be in pain. The AC doesn’t work well which forces you to crank the window open. You will hear your neighbors hotel doors slamming shut, constantly. Thin walls. Bedding was clean and white, same with towels. Overall room cleanliness was good. Parking is $30 a night. Overall, for the price it’s decent, but I doubt I will stay here again.

The beds were terrible. They both had springs coming up and we went to the chiropractor each day because of it. We’re not able to change rooms. Very loud and when asked two weeks in advance to my stay what room type I would like I sent it in twice and did not receive what I requested.
