Stayed here for an event happening near by and overall nice place to stay, if you're into walking it was kinda close to downtown but with an Uber it was 5 min away, the tub could of been cleaned better. Stayed there by myself and I felt safe, there is a whole foods right around the corner so that was nice. I would definitely stay there again.

Property is pretty run down and more like a hostel than a motel. Would not stay there again Only redeeming factor is its proximity to the SAP center.

Property was clean with limited parking. Property set on main thoroughfare and close to airport so all road noise and planes overhead could be heard from inside the room. Entrance to hotel has automatic door.

The place had a very nice entry. The check in staff were welcoming and pleasant. I walk into a old room with bllod on the carpet ans a moldy bathroom. It was clean yet overall unsafe and unsanitary.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Well cleaned, but dated and a bit worn out hotel. The neighborhood is somewhat seedy. Big thing is the Diridon train station within 10 min walk, and Whole Foods next door. Good for those who came to see San Francisco on a budget - the downtown is an hour away by Baby Bullet express train ($21 day pass).

I location and free parking big is a spot to crash after visiting the SAP Center. The lighting, the broken Jacuzzi, and the lack of working coffee makers lead for a mediocre review
