Hotel was as expected for price and location, no problems but also nothing special - except the staff were amazing. So friendly and helpful and very easy to talk to, it makes a big difference. The area is convenient for getting around, not a lot going on but pretty clean and safe by SFO standards. Would definitely go back again.
