“Stay Away”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 April 2011
4
people found this review helpful

The promised internet connection was down or not working. Much effort by them failed to get a connection.The bathroom tile floor was sticky but they came and recleaned it immediately. awakened in the middle of the night by a bug biting me on the neck. Discovered two more welts on my abdomen. Management sprayed poison in the room.
I think it may have been bed bugs. The gaps between the door and the door jamb were enough to let any bug in.

“Close to Everything in the Bay Area!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 March 2011

-My husband and I went up for a quick weekend trip to visit the Bay Area and we flew into San Francisco. We found that catching the Bart was easy and only a 30 min ride and also found out that it went to the Oakland Airport.
-The cost of our 3 night weekend stay was a great deal and the rooms were clean, staff was nice at the front desk, looked like a family owned business, but they were nice and helped us with suggestions on local restaurants and Bart Station information as we were knew to the city. We also visited Berkeley and all the shops and restaurants they had which was nice and not far from the hotel, only about 10 minutes away.
-The Bart ride from the hotel into San Francisco was only 1 block away down the street, and relatively cheap and easier than taking a car into San Francisco, since it's all walking anyway and easier to explore, and we didn't have to worry about the expensive parking or finding a spot for hours!
-Great weekend getaway for someone on a budget!

“Stay as Far Away as possible”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2007
3
people found this review helpful

The rooms were decorated in a 70's theme and carried a dingy smell to them.

The coverlet on the bed looked and felt as if it had not been changed in quite some time.

The throw pillows on the bed had this woven cover on them.

Although the hotel is right off of the 580 freeway and surrounded by other hotels, there is VERY little to do if you need to walk around.
