Satisfied Stay The woman in charge was very sweet and kind. I was in town alone for a surgery and when leaving out for it she told me that she would pray for me. That touched me. The room was everything I needed. It was clean, comfortable and cold (ac). I was a little worried when I pulled up in my Uber due to it's closeness to the highway, but was pleasantly surprised. I was not bothered at all by any noise or anything shady. No food or drinks offered due to COVID but there was a mini fridge, a microwave and a coffee maker with supplies. All clean and ready to be used. Didn't use the toiletries, they were too floral for me, but they are supplied. Showers were hot, couch and bed were comfortable, the bed was very comfortable. The maintenance team work hard and it shows, I'd see them work as I took daily walks. Lots of stores nearby some within walking distance. Parking right outside the rooms, seemed full at night and empty during the day... I had a lot of time on my hands lol.

There are bed bugs in room 114 The room I stayed in had bed bugs. I had bite marks on my back, left wrist, neck, and chin. I was able to smash 2 of the insects. One of them was full of blood. The room itself was spacious and appeared clean. But the rug was worn and stained with spill marks. Also the clock-radio's alarm went off at 12am, despite the alarm button being in the off position. The hotel is located in a mixed industrial/residential area. Three taquerias (taco shops) and one diner are within a 10 minute walk from the place. A cafe is right next door selling coffee to go. In the streets behind the hotel, there were day laborers standing around waiting for work.

Undgå dette sted The room was spacious and clean with microwave and fridge. Wifi satisfactory. It has been a long time since we have been served as sour and swollen as the woman who received us at this place. It was both on arrival and in the morning the next day. It is not good in a service business Although the room was clean it was not the same with the air conditioning system. When lit, it emitted a musty smell in the room. When I lifted the filters up, they turned out to smell musty. Cranky noise from the freeway right next door. Earplugs were needed. The brightness of the breakfast was the coffee. A little bread wrapped in cellophane and a fruit and nut bar.

Perfect for the price Nothing fancy here but very clean and close to 101. The bed was nice. Breakfast was cereals and danishes. We particularly enjoyed the unique coffee machine although there is a coffee shop right next door.

Quite acceptable at the price One does not always want a downtown hotel. We arrived at SFO early to mid-afternoon. We picked up a rental car and were travelling north to the wine country but did not need to get as far north as Sonoma or Napa. Yet we did not want a downtown San Fran hotel (did that last year). We wanted a motel with free parking, wifi, clean and easily accessible without a long and complicated drive from SFO. We enjoyed the north side of the bridge on the way. We did not need a large TV, spa or pool for we would be tired. This filled the bill. Clean, comfortable, not overly large but we were not going to open every suitcase. Traffic noise level was lower than we expected Celia's restaurant nearby (walking) was a bonus. We did not need fancy food. Celia's filled the bill. Easy to move on the next day to the wine country.
