Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The staff was very friendly and helpful when we had to switch rooms
Rough place. Stain on the wall. Not too clean. It’s about what we were expecting. Didn’t have a lot of options in SFO for the night. A lot of full hotels this night. Online pictures didnt resemble what we were provided by any stretch of the imagination, but if they did, I don’t think many would reserve a room.
The only thing that I didn't like about this hotel was I stayed at several in the area for some reason this one charges you for parking I thought that was very cheap and underhanded after they're already charging you way above the going rate for the area
We booked for 2 nights and it wasn’t the best experience. I noticed the other windows in other rooms were roller shades and ours looked like an outdated brown curtain cloth, which gave me an impression that we were put in one of the older rooms. Furnitures had chipped paints; bed had a lot of wrinkles that made it look unkept; and ironing board had a lot of stains. We can hear the noise from the hallways even with the TV on. We had to wait for the elevator for almost 10 minutes upon our check out because apparently, it takes a while to stop to 2nd floor (we were coming from the 3rd floor and had to keep waiting because the housekeeper needed to go to the 2nd floor with her cart and we wouldn’t be able to fit in the elevator). We liked that the hotel offers free breakfast though.
