This is a repeat hotel for us as we use the SF Airport at least once a year. The location is not great for walking or getting exercise - but there are a number of shopping areas and restaurants within walking distance. The staff is helpful and the breakfast (included) is very good, having improved in the past few years.

I didn't realize the first floor room had about 6-8 steps to climb to get to the first floor. I m recovering from a hip replacement and it was hard to carry my luggage up the stairs. The switch on the bedside lamp did not work. People just unscrew the light bulb. It took two of us to get the water running to have a shower. Needs repair.

This place is a great option near SFO international airport. Room was comfortable and spacious, parking was great and breakfast was delicious! Loved the potato and the egg with onion and peppers. Reception staff were really helpful and we were even able to check in a bit early. Maintenance/ housekeeping staff were also very polite saying hello etc in passing. Will stay again if we fly in/out of SFO. If you need a quick bite for evening the Wingstop across the street is really good.

Cons: • Loud noises at night from trains I didn't expect. It's close to the airport so you'll definitely hear some airplanes. • Coffee stain that didn't get cleaned properly the carpet. It was still damp. • Smelled musty. Had to keep the windows open. • Checkout time is at 12pm and we felt rushed to leave when a staff member was knocking on our door early, twice. Pros: • Checked in with the help from a really sweet and friendly staff. Made me feel super welcomed. • Comfortable bed. • Free wine. • Clean bathroom with great water pressure. • Comfortable lounge area with coffee/tea included. • Nice desk area to do some work on the laptop. Great use as a vanity as well. • Decent size TV for entertainment. • Decent size closet space. • Great pool with a hot tub. • Convenient stores and restaurants are nearby.

Extremely noisy. Very thin walls. I heard every door slam all night long. Heard conversations in other rooms. I am not a light sleeper, however I was woken up multiple times when a room door would close, or someone would watch tv. Street noise was not a factor, so I was surprised at how much noise from other rooms made the stay a failure. Shower water pressure was awful. I shave my head, and the water pressure was so bad the shower took twice as long just to rinse off. $15 dollars to park at a motel was a bit excessive.
