We stayed for 5 days at the hotel, the location is good, breakfast included was a plus, very close to a Wallgreens, which was convenient and very close to bart and bus stops....makes it a solid choice for a short stay in the SF bay area. I only wished the rooms were bigger, not much space to walk around the bed and hardly any sunlight coming in from the small window. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.

Great location and nicely appointed rooms. The staff were friendly and the included breakfast added some extra value. The only reason I didn't award 5 stars was due to the noise from the bar on Saturday night. This wasn't the hotel's fault, but it did affect my peaceful enjoyment of the room.

Small hotel. Rooms are clean and staff is friendly. No parking but there is parking nearby. Irish pub downstairs plays Live band on Friday and Saturdays until 1am (very loud), but it is quiet other than that.

Great location, close to shops and restaurants. The only thing wrong was the bathroom door was frosted glass which was awkward with our two teenage children sharing the room with us
