Great place to stay, 2nd bedroom had no heat or AC

The young lady that checked us in was awesome, she answered and helped us with our TVs that we could not figure out to work them. She came up with towels and helped us with a SMILE! Hotel was in great location and seemed like out two bed room was updated not too long ago. Kitchen could use an updated table and chair as it is well used and dated . Overall this is a good option, The negative: the second bedroom did not have heat or AC, so we were cold at night. King BED First Bedroom(main room) the listing states the two beds are queens, but they are full size bed, so if your planning two people in bed it might be tight. There is a restaurant on site(not included in fee) which we tried and the service was great and so was the food. Plenty of parking in the back too .

Very dirty. Old furniture, chairs dirty and stained had to put towel down to sit on chair. Walls had holes and scuff marks. Fans in bathroom full of dirt Barley worked. Shower leaked on bathroom floor. Water just hot enough to shower. A shame they charge you to stay.

Not bad but a bit dirty.

Our family went on a quick weekend trip, booked two nights here for reasonable price; it was obviously recently renovated so it should have been nice and clean however, the walls were filthy with feet prints and such. Also the chairs were banged up and the cloth was totally disgustingly dirty. The beds were very comfortable though and the lady was super nice so I hate to complain, just being honest though!

In a great area of S.F. and a ‘gem in disguise’. Looks like an old motel that has been well maintained, but when in the room, you feel like you are at a new Hilton. Great value, nice staff, and very quiet. There is shopping and great restaurants nearby, and in a very safe area as well. Great for families or mature adults who just want a nice room and a place to leave a nice vehicle without worry. Will stay here again!

room not family safe.

The room was not very clean, I wiped the furniture and it had a lot of dust. The Microwave was a fire hazard, as it was full of rust and sparked when you turn it on. The mini fridge gets turned off between guest and that caused condensation and mold. I told the clerk and his response was "oh I'm sorry"

50/50, does the job

Mixed bag: Bed was very clean and very comfortable. The 2-room, 3 bed option is very spacious. The overall condition is so bad. Floors and furniture terrible and stained, bathroom appears recently updated, though, and it's nice. Back slider door didn't lock and was easy to access from outside. There was not a single towel stocked. Staff was attentive and quick to remedy. Cafe downstairs, $20 for 2 lattes. The location was perfect for getting over hwy 12 to the east. The hotel itself is very close to a lot of great shopping.

AVOID THIS PLACE!!!! We checked in and immediately checked out as soon as we saw the room. This place is absolutely disgusting from stains on the bedding to stains all over the floors and chairs. This place is so nasty I didn’t even want to put my things down. Don’t waste your time with this place.
