It smelled very clean in the lobby and the room was clean. The young man in the lobby was very friendly and even told us about good food in the area. The elevator going to the parking garage was a big plus for us since we were traveling with a baby in a stroller. The only thing that could have been a little better was breakfast. The only warm food was waffles since the eggs were gone quick. But there were other quick things to grab so we were still able to eat. We would stay again.

It was clean in the room, quiet at night and the shuttle to the airport was on time. They are in the process of remodeling the rooms. Should be a nice place when they’re done.

Budget hotel by SFO. Very nice staff. Rooms are a bit out dated. Shower pressure was not great. Trickles. Located on a busy road. Very nice Mexican restaurant just across the street (Celia’s). Breakfast included tough scrambled eggs great location for a night close by from long haul flights or a night prior to flight out.

I was only there for one night to catch a flight the next morning. I appreciate the airport shuttle being on time and efficient. Check in was also smooth. However, I did not appreciate the property charging my card in the morning several hours prior to check in. That has never happened to me before.
Also I will say this is not my normal standard of hotel for stay because it is an older property however it was very clean and I was comfortable for the night.
If you are need of a hotel close to the airport for a night this is a solid choice
