Great property. Amazing staff, so kind and helpful. Not sure about parking. Decently located. Lots of public transportation around. I felt safe. The views and pool are the selling point. A touch outdated like ceilings carpets and light switches and bathroom doors. Main areas are updated though. Great value for the price.

We liked it but try to offer water and dental amenities in the package. That was a difficult thing for a tourist to arrange at check ins. There was no water available in the room. Rest all was good.

It's a good stay overall. Basic, clean, and safe. It's also nice that there is self parking on site in a secured parking lot - something that's not easy to find in hotels in SF area. However - the parking system needs to be updated. It's using some antiquated ticketing system without any way to call for help. If you or a car in front of you got stuck and cannot exit the parking lot - you are bound to wait for a while. Happened to me twice in my short stay. Not fun.

A total surprise

I enjoyed my stay, but was shocked when I checked in, I was not assigned the room with two beds I had requested initially. On top of that, I was asked for a deposit of five hundred dollars.

Front desk customer service was not good. They were very uninformative and vauge. The Mangaer was rude. The room did not feel clean, toliet paper roll on the bathroom flor, makeup on the "clean" towels, mold and hairs on the handycap pull down chair inthe shower.
