The parking is very convenient, the room was super clean and since this is a hotel with a hallway, there was no outside San Francisco noise. The front desk people are very nice and polite. We look forward to staying there again. Thanks from Jeff Shulman

We asked to fix the heater in room and the staff said they will come in 10 mins but no one came. For the bathroom shower, it won’t work, had to leave for my flight without taking shower.

Clean and convenient
The room was clean and we had enough room. They advertised breakfast and they said they stopped doing that last year. That was one factor why we chose that hotel. So that info needs updated. Even showed pics of breakfast being served.
