Perfect stay
Great spot for park and fly. Convenient to SFO and reasonable price for parking $15 per day. The shuttle service was a nice plus.

Convenience of proximity to SFO and dinning.
We arrived late in the day and we missed the first entrance to parking. Since we had to park before checkin in it was awkward orientation of the checkin process.Accomodations and simplicity of decor approved. The shutters were an excellent idea.

Great Accessible Room
Older property, great staff, we had a very large accessible room that was located right next to elevator & breakfast area. Staff very friendly and helpful. Restaurant just across the street was very good. (Mexican)

Great Place to Stay!
Very nice people at check-in and check-out. Very helpful with shuttle service to airport. Room was clean and comfortable, breakfast buffet offered a lot of choices and was ready for persons who had to leave hotel early. Very much enjoyed my stay and will book again when I'm in the area.

Friendly hotel clerk
It has the Hallmark channel. I just wish there was a grab bar by the tub and there was a flexible hose shower head

A great stay!
We were here just one night on a layover. We arrived after 11 PM and the front desk woman was very friendly, helpful, and just a pleasure. She gave us all pertinent information we needed to have a successful stay and catch the next morning’s flight. Room was very nice, clean, and comfortable.
