We were very pleasantly surprised with this property. Working in hospitality myself, I check everything for cleanliness. Most everything seemed to be fairly clean. We did find some hairs on the shower walls but that wasn’t the end of the world for us. Both toilet paper rolls were less than half with no extras in the room, it would have been nice for a back up roll so we didn’t have to go get it. Also wish the cost of parking was included in the cost of the stay, but that seemed to be par for the course when we were looking for a hotel near Oracle Park. The bed was also surprisingly comfortable. Room was small but we only needed to sleep and shower so that wasn’t a huge issue. Trader Joe’s is in walking distance as well as lots of other places.
