Room was spotless. The staff was so sweet, and accommodating. Very personal service. When our key card stopped working because of a dead battery in the lock, the staff took care of it while we were out. Several hours, the person at the desk had the key card ready for me and address me by name when I came in to grab the replacement.

The Owner, Ed, was 10/10 gracious upon check-in. So unexpected to be thanked for your patronage ( especially in the Bay Area!) and then to be pleasantly surprised at the actual accommodations!

The room was large, very clean and remodeled. Parking was convenient. The beds were not comfortable. There was no coffee maker or ice available. We spent one night to attend a concert. I would not stay here again.
