Competent, clean and comfortable, reasonably priced for a late arrival overnighter by SFO, with a free hourly shuttle and decent free breakfast. Friendly staff. Surprisingly comfortable beds.

Ok for one night stay. Shuttle bus overheated on way to hotel and took ages to get a replacement, glad it wasn’t going to airport.
