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.

Pros: Hotel was clean with easy access parking. Room was clean and spacious, bed was comfortable, and staff was helpful. Room had mini-fridge and microwave. Fast food and convenient stores near hotel on the main road in front of the hotel. Lots of places to eat and shop on the street two blocks behind the hotel. Only about a 30 minute walk to BART. Maybe a 10 minute Uber ride to the airport. Cons: Like all hotels near an airport you get the airplane noise. But didn’t seem bad enough to keep me up at night. Someplace near the hotel has Friday evening music that is loud but it seemed to end by 10 or 11 pm I think. Overall good experience and would stay here again.

Spacious, clean room. Not too noisy despite being close by the airport. (The air conditioner does have a hum but I didn’t mind that as it served as white noise.) The bed was large and comfortable, the room clean. It’s an older establishment but well kept. The area itself was a little run down and not easily accessible from the airport unless you have a car. It’s quite a walk to the BART, closer to the train. We caught an Uber which was $30 USD.
