The beds were very uncomfortable as well as the pillows. The breakfast was only cold bagels and some cereals.

This is an older hotel - kinda feels like visiting my grandma. That said, the rooms are spacious, the folks are super friendly. If you need 5-star, go elsewhere. If you want friendly and affordable with good amenities, stay here. I stay here every time I travel to a Bay Area race.

As always it was a wonderful stay, the only hotel I'll stay at when I'm visiting the Bay area. Always allow me to check in early without a fee , thanks.

8/10

The motel was fine for a quick stay. I came with a coffee machine, fridge and a microwave. The carpets looked really old and dirty and the bathroom was clearly dated from the 80's. It was quite spacious and quiet. The continental breakfast was quite filling and the lovely lady made us waffles, which was a great touch to the usual donuts as a continental breakfast in other motels.

This is an older hotel but well-kept. The staff is very nice, there's a restaurant-bar connected to the hotel. The room is spacious and nice and clean. It is a bit older but we like to think it has character. Very comfortable.
