I booked a king suite with a king size bed and the bed was a standard size bed. Not to mention it was sunken in and very uncomfortable. It was noisy and tacky. I want a refund!

Cheap and Good Location Don’t Make A Good Stay

The location is easy to find and the check in was perfectly pleasant. The room had many issues: - pins, a needle, and small shards of glass on the floor - busted lampshades - sticky bathroom floor and dirty counter - TV remote missing the plastic back and with dead batteries - half the outlets not working A couple positives: - Sheets looked fresh and clean - Fridge and coffee maker worked - Location is near many restaurants, bars and BART I didn’t have a chance to try the breakfast due to my check out, which was also nice. I likely wouldn’t stay here again; there are a few hotels where you can get good quality for a low price. This isn’t it, sorry.

Parking pretty safe. Towels very thin, old , and of a skimpy size. Worst towels I’ve ever had at a hotel! No iron or hair dryer in room. I had to ask for them At front desk. Ironing board had only one leg. I found second leg broken off in closet.

My room smelled terrible (like urine). My shower door would not close without some force. I never had housekeeping service my room. We had to leave trash outside the doors to get taken away. The door didn’t lock for the first two days (was resolved). The tv never worked even though I requested it to be looked at. I was there for 11 nights. TV should have been a priority! Neighboring rooms have a thin wall/door in between and I could hear everything. (I didn’t know them).

Took the train to Jack London Sq. Amtrak station is a short walk away. But trains literally pass right in front and honk horn loudly, so it is NOISY. Didn't interrupt my sleep, tho. Building is old but updated. Room was spacious. Bathroom clean. Frustrated trying to get TV to work. Easy once someone showed me how, but there should have been instructions in the room. Cont. Breakfast was limited but good. Close to restaurants and Bay Trail. A bargain.
