Its a no frills hotel. The room was clean, close to freeway, good location. There are fast food and restaurants in walking distance. Parking is first come, first serve, but the lot is very small. I parked behind the hotel in the alley. It didnt seem safe but i didnt have any problems with my car there overnight and there really werent many people passing by.

SF quick stay

One night stay next to the airport. Late check in and early departure, so spent little time there, but bed was comfortable and accommodations were adequate. Ice machine wasn’t working, so that’s the only negative.
