We only stayed one night as we had an early flight out of SFO the next morning and wanted someplace close. It was clean, comfortable, and economical. Plus a continental breakfast that was ready at 6:30am. Very satisfied guests.

Wasn’t sure about the are when I pulled up, but when I got inside the hotel it was very nice. The desk clerk was very friendly and helpful, parking was great and free! My room was great! Very big, clean, modern and comfortable. The Mexican restaurant right across the street (Celia’s) was amazing! I walked there both nights.

Great stay for a late-night airport arrival! Front staff was very friendly and helpful. Crib was already set up in the room, and the room was very clean with nice touches (folded the toilet paper into roses :) ). Quiet, clean, accommodating. Would definitely stay again!
