The room was clean, well-lit, quiet and as described. All the furnishings looked fresh! The hotel rooms open into an enclosed corridor and common space that were also well-lit by skylight and lights. Very convenient location due to walkable access to public transit for going to SF downtown or to the airport. There were plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby as well. I had some trouble maintaining connectivity to the wi-fi on my devices, but it didn't matter since I had enough data and speed on my cellphone.

Stayed one night to catch our flight the next morning since this location is very close to SFO. Front desk was very helpful and let us know about a planned power outage from PG&E outside so we wouldn't be stuck wondering what's going on. Housekeeping works hard and did a great job with our room and even had our door open and ready for us to enter. They also have a nice lounge area for guests to eat or just hangout.

Parking was easy and felt safe. Room was in decent shape, clean, but very dated. I was unhappy about the bathroom amenities. The shampoo and conditioner was a combined package and a very small amount at that.

It was early evening we as well as a registered quest waited 20 minutes for the desk clerk to come out of the back office to open the door to get into the building. non adequate linen for the bed, one BROKEN ice machine for the whole building, sketchy underground parking (but it was free), the lone maid we saw the next morning seemed to be a hard worker the room was clean.
