Simple accommodations

This is a very basic hotel, but clean and pleasant. The front desk was available when I arrived near check in (3:00PM). My room was small, but I've had smaller for more money. This is not a great room to hang out in (a desk chair, but no where really but the bed to lounge around), but definitely comfy for getting ready & being out and about for the day and coming back for sleep! The restaurant downstairs has great beer, too. 2 blocks from BART which makes the city and surrounds very easy to reach. If you're a simple traveler like me, this is worth it! Very satisfied for what I paid.

Expectations exceeded!

This place exceeded my expectations! Booked this hotel to stay after my business trip was over, and was looking for a place that wasn’t too extravagant so I wouldn’t be tempted to stay in the room, and go out in the city. It was honestly a very comfortable place, and secure. Highly recommend!

This location was very noisy but that didn’t bother me. Honestly for the price and location I thought it was a decent deal. Only big downside for me was no fridge in room. I need to keep my meds cold and didn’t realize no mini fridge. Otherwise would recommend for short stays or budget people. Just don’t expect the ritz and bring ear plugs if a light sleeper.

Not bad.

Absolutely great location. Used to sleep and shower and it was plenty. We would leave for the day and come back. The fan is the only real AC there is so we also had the windows open since it was not hot while we were there. We could've checked out at 7am but they do not have a bell service unless you pay additionally at another location for this around the corner. We went back to our room around 10:45am since checkout was at 11am and when we got up to our room our key did not work so we had to call the hotel and wait for a housekeeper to unlock our room. They said it was close to check out time so the card must've deactivated. Something to think about is that the front desk is not always staffed. We walked around to Hotel Stafford to check in and 90% of the time we did not see anyone at the front desk at the Bartlett. Basically if you are a needy person be prepared to put in some steps. There were two of us staying so we had two towels and the one for the floor when showering and that was it. NO additional towels. No hand towels or wash cloths were provided either so we lived with a bit of regret on not bringing wash cloths. Overall not bad at all. The nights felt very safe as well. We did not feel there was a vast amount of homeless people around the area unless you go off of that street.
