“Very nice room for the money..stayed 4 nights”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 July 2011

We were visiting family and found this hotel on the internet..so we were not sure what we were getting. From the pictures, it looked very nice and we got a rate at $67/night. When we arrived that day we were pleasantly surprised how nice the room was...we had a queen size bed and was partitioned from a separate living room area that had a pull out sofa bed. Everything was clean and the wireless worked fine. We were on the 3rd floor, so we took the elevator or stairs to the 2nd floor where the continental breakfast area was...It was nice.. And, the maid service was great. The elevator was a little dingy, but not too bad. The view from our room window was a little depressing (the back of a furniture store) but we were not in the room during the day much anyway...All the rooms were on the inside of the building and had security measures in place..I found out we were just down the street from a bad area in Richmond. But we did not see anything to alarm us. The Hotel was close to a Denny's and the Bart (transit system) train. It was in walking distance...lots of other restaurants around. The bus also was nearby on San Pablo Ave. And the Interstate was also close (I-80) so you could get to Berkeley, San Francisco with no problem. Overall, it was a great place to stay...and we would stay there again..

“The Usual!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 March 2011

A good way to ease your way into the city. It's near the BART, Albany, restaurants, The Guitar Center and the highway. I just don't like people stomping over my head but they did go to sleep around the same time I did. Other than that, it was a good deal. Cable and free wifi!

“Good starting point to visit San francisco”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2010

The hotel is 5 min by feet far away from the El Cerrito del Norte Bart station, which is about 20 minutes from downtown San Francisco. The room was comfortable, large, clean and quiet. The continental breakfast is quite simple, consisting of orange juice, coffee, cereal and some cakes, which is ok for the price. Internet connection (WLAN) is gratis.

“Unbearable odor”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2009

I am absolutely stunned about the positive reviews this hotel has received. The receptionist offered us a choice of two rooms, one with a king size bed, the other with two queens. She pointed out that the queen room was recently renovated. It turned out the renovation was restricted to a flat screen TV and newly painted walls that could make you colorblind. The beds had the worst mattresses I ever encountered in a Super 8. Off we went to the king room which was a narrow dark room right behind the elevator. No "renovation" here. All of that is not the worst. What made us leave the hotel instantly was the terrible odor that filled the hallways and - to a somewhat lesser degree - the rooms. Unbearable!

“Great place within walking distance to BART”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2009

I attended a convention at the Moscone Center in downtown San Francisco. Not wanting to pay the outrageous hotel rates in the downtown area, I chose this motel instead. And I was very pleased.
It took me 7 minutes to walk from my room to the BART terminal. From there its about a 20 minute, $4.05 ride to downtown San Francisco. You could even afford to eat downtown with the money you saved on lodging.
The front desk clerk , Irma, was extremely helpful, and deserves a lot of praise. She helped me fix a quirky internet connection, and even offered to loan me her own personal laptop.
The room was comfortable, clean and quiet. Don't plan on much for the continental breakfast. It consists of orange juice, coffee, cold cereal and some muffins that are wrapped individually. But with the money you safe you could get a regular meal.
Across the street is a restaurant called "Shari's". Avoid it. Crummy service, small portions.
I will definitely stay there again when visiting San Francisco.
