The room was clean, there was a respectable breakfast spread, although no protein to speak of. The receptionist was a little dry, but professional and efficient. It’s an older property with some damage but the location and price, and specifically the cost for parking, make this one of my favorite places to stay when I’m visiting the Bay Area.

Clean, close to airport, shuttle in time. Nice hotel to stay for one - two nights. Also, breakfast is available and free. I stayed because of early flight from SFO. Was staying for a couple of times, maybe more to be able to be in airport in time and bit the traffic from east bay early morning.
