Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Good for overnight stay to fly out of SFO, nothing more
It's in a great location, has a large facility, and has many dining options, especially Chinese.
Nice looking facility, great staff, and great location close to the SFO
Carpet stained and bathtub had peeling paint. I let the staff know and they were kind enough to give us a better room. Windows do not open and no fan in the bathroom. I would not recommend this hotel.
The place was on the older side but clean and had a good continental breakfast. The surrounding area was pretty quiet, not many people around and limited walkability.
Overall very convenient and pleasant stay. Cafe and pool were under construction, which is understandable but a bummer! Other than that, a great, affordable place to stay. Felt very safe and convenient to many things.
Stayed here once and had to come back again. Lovely stay with quiet neighbors

Liked: Cleanliness
I was told at check in that there is $15 charge to park. Plus they charged an additional $20 deposit. I looked to see if i could find parking information, but could not.
Was told at check-in, that I had a bottle of wine as part of my reservation. They offered white, i asked if they had red, her response was, well you can always drink water.
This is lower than average hotel for the prove paid.
No Microwave oven.
Bathrooom water not going.
No cleaning offered
AC was pathetic . Absolutely no AC
No exhaust in bathroom. Then you can imagine how tough to handle.
