Good location for people visiting
This location was convenient for public transportation as a train was right next to it and you had a Starbucks and another shop within the same plaza. One thing that was awful about this place was air quality. The air inside this place was thick, poor, and had a variety of over powering smells depending on the time of day. I walked in one time and they were Febreezing the whole place as if they were disinfecting it. The room itself smelt like burnt popcorn all the time even when I had the window wide open. Legitimately the air quality was extremely poor… Staff was really polite and nice every time I saw them. Check in was easy and hassle free even though I arrived early. The gym in there is pretty bad as well so go in with low expectations. It def felt like it was a bit older. It wasn’t horrible quality but nothing new and fresh, the air quality was far from fresh. I did like this place for the fact I could hop on a train and within an hour be in San Francisco so if you don’t spend a lot of time in the hotel, it’s a nice location. Bed was comfortable and the AC worked well. Had a nice mini kitchen with fridge and counter space which was nice. The layout of the hotel room was nice and specious feeling for setting up a desk area and such. Internet speeds were good as well while I uploaded video files to clients.

Average with poor customer service
Front desk was very bad for check in. Spoke with a very pleasant front desk in the morning and i was told that a supervisor would get with me over an issue i was having. No one ever did. The kitchen was nice and room was satisfactory. But customer service depends on their mood. I would not stay here again

Some problems
Although it was a pleasant place, I don't feel I will stay at this one again. I was not able to get internet service; the sink in the bathroom was coming away from the wall and didn't have a shelf. Staff was nice.
