Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Best aspects: Super clean room, GREAT location, very nice breakfast buffet, nice size room and updated amenities, responsive and courteous staff. Rate was outstanding/a true bargain for this prime Bay Area location!! Has an old-style California vibe, but well maintained for the most part. Plenty of parking available. Drawbacks: Internet service is free but very slow and sluggish; shower door latch was broken; outside room entrances feel less secure compared to inside entrances.

The breakfast was really good. Real eggs cooked with peppers, and real potatoes. My room needs some repairs-edge of carpeting, tiles, stained bathtub. Seemed like a high price for the stay considering the condition of the room. The breakfast was very good, so I ended up feeling like that made up for the room being a bit shabby. The staff was nice and the hacienda style of the place was cool.
