The furniture in the room was very old and worn. Room itself was adequate, bathroom was clean and well stocked with amenities. Was surprised by the $200 security deposit that was not mentioned when booking the room. Parking and ev charging were very convenient.

Was going to Stanford and needed hotel. This was in a sketchy area hence the lower price. Orig room had been smoked in. Was given a new room but keys didn’t work. 3rd time back to the lobby and keys finally worked. This is a very old hotel. Comfy bed and free breakfast. Bathroom REEKED of mildew. Staff very mid upon checkin. Would I stay again? Prob not.
