Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The establishment provided me with a towel with more holes than fabric. When I requested an exchange, the front desk lady told me in a very rude manner that "all towels were in that shape", I once again had to request an exchange and she very dismissive gave me an old grimmy Disney Princess towel emphasizing that she wouldn't exchange any other towels and that was going to be mine until the end of my stay. The bathrooms are not clean at all, there was excess hair in the drain and it wouldn't allow the water to evacuate. The room itself was adequate for the price but everything else made the experience regrettable.

Onto the Next

I had to move rooms twice because the first 2 had ants throughout them. The 3rd room didn’t have ants but there was a huge recluse spider crawling on the headboard. It was an uncomfortable experience. Definitely wouldn’t recommend.

High value for the price. The hotel was clean, affordable and convenient. Shuttle was on time but hours are a bit strange. Not sure what other reviewers are expecting for this price since this hotel was perfect for a one night stay heading out early from SFO. I’d stay here again.

Dirty, $75 Deposit, NO CATS (They don't disclose)

First, the room floor was dirty and hairs everywhere, even on the walls, so I had to clean the room first. Second, when I was booking the room, the booking page had no information about this hotel not accepting CATS and no mentioning of the security pet deposit amout. The booking descrpition said pet friendly but when I arrived there, they charged $75 non refundable pet deposit. And the coffee machine wasn't working so we called the front desk person who said the maintenance person will come and fix it while we are not present, so we said NO due to many personal items there. But next day, the maintenance person went there along with their manager without our conscent and knowledge. When we talked to the manager about all these issues, his attitude was like, it's NOT my problem and I DON'T CARE. I don't get it.
