Liked: Good bed, clean bathroom, convenient location to downtown Disliked: I needed to turn on the heater. It worked well, but was loud when it cycled off & on during the night - waking me up.

Great value for the overpriced bay area. Liked: Super cute older hotel that is in incredible modern condition. It's close to the freeway, but super quite. We have stayed there twice and won't hesitate to stay again.

Would stay again. Perfect location... Liked: Nice room. Loved the desk space, office chair and lounge chair. Bed was comfortable as well. Descent shower. Disliked: It was near the road so opening a window wasn’t really an option and the huge ceiling fan created too much of a draft and if you turned
