Good value for Money with city access by BART
Enjoyed the stay. 15 min Walking distance to BART in city. Breakfast was super tasty. Staff very friendly with lots of good local advice. Parking was easy and free. So glad we decided to stay here and not in the city. Renovations ongoing but it was fine, we were out during the day. Rooms clean and equipped well.

This was a nice stay. I stayed twice during my recent business trip and both rooms were clean and comfortable. The AC in my first room had a loud fan, but the second room was quiet. The employees were friendly and helpful, I appreciate them giving me plenty of K-Cup pods so I could have plenty of coffee in the morning. The wi-fi was fast and I didn’t have any problems with connecting and staying online. I would stay here again.
