Decent Hotel If On A Budget

Front desk staff were incredibly nice and helpful. Parking lot is small and they allowed us to use their staff spot instead of parking on the street. Rooms are a little dated but clean. Beds are too firm for my liking and the room ac’s cycle on and off all night, making it warm in the rooms when they aren’t running. Overall I felt like I got what we paid for

Filthy room that smelled horribly of smoke

Filthy, stinky, disgusting room! I had room #207 upstairs and it was so bad -- the walls had holes in them that were patched and not painted. The floors visually had spills on them. The comforter had a disgusting yellow stain on it. The bathroom had no ventilation and the window needed to be opened to get out the moisture; however there was no screen on the window, letting in bugs. When I arrived there was a dirty rag on the floor. The hotel has a no smoking and no weed smoking policy but #207 reeked of ciggie smoke and it smelled like someone just lit a weed pipe. It was gross and my allergies started getting bad as soon as I went in and closed the door. This hotel is one of the worst that I've ever stayed in.

First visit to Bay Area

There we modern upgrades but you could tell there was some past water damage in the room. There was an issue with the bathroom but the front desk and maintenance were very responsive. Close to campus and in town activities.

Sketchy

The walls are thin and it's right off a busy downtown street with people active all through the night. Nothing happened but the place feels sketchy.

This is a very good location, and with parking! (near campus), the staff is nice and right there. It's a pretty good second rate motel. My main complaint is super strong smell of cleaners they use but I went over the floor with a towel and opened my window and it dissipated over time. Also, the AC/heat blows on your when you sleep.

DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER

*Poor communication from the office staff. *No security cameras. (RING CAMERA ON OFFICE DOOR) Non-working. *Rooms were partially cleaned. Floors badly stained, unmopped, not swept/dusted underneath the bed/beds. This is my experience from both rooms that I stayed in. I wiped everything down with clorox wipes. *I had to sleep on the "motels" parking lot due to the office staff not activating my card to the new room #104 after having checked out of #212. *No way to recieve assistance during nightime hours. * This place did nothing for my mental state. I explained during check-in that I was seeking solitude, peacefulness away from my family as I was grieving personal loss of my father and my daughter. Both recently deceased. Instead, someone near my room constantly argued loudly each day of my stay from sunrise to sunset. Listening to horrific profanity. No interventions from the hotel staff. I also witnesses someone driving a black Tesla back her vehicle into a customers vehicle and prepare to drive away until I spoke up to suggest leaving a note on the persons windshield. (You do not hit, back up, nor damage someones vehicle and drive away. How rude; inconsiderate. The best part of my stay was my daily walks to Traders Joe's-which was across the street. I was able to pirchase non-dairy ice-cream, fresh fruits, water. Some frozen meals since the rooms have microwaves and refrigerator. ATTENTION: BE PREPARED TO CLEAN REFRIGERATOR BEFORE USE. "OVERPRICED" UNCONCERNED.
