The room is spacious and for the price more equipped than i expected for the price. The shuttle runs on time as outlined- great for peace of mind when travelling. I had a long layover so this was an excellent option for me. Hotel breakfast is the typical fare for a hotel. Personally I would appreciated some sugar free options in the oatmeal and yogurt but otherwise decent options. Happy that I picked this place

Staff was very friendly and helpful, but the Tv only worked sometimes, remote barely worked at all. The fridge was so warm our food went bad. Some of the towels had a foul odor. It’s very affordable but be prepared for things to not be perfect

The AC was off which caused the room to smell. The shuttle either needs to go away or better organized. I ended up taking a $40 share ride for a 5 min drive.

This stay was booked last minute due to a flight cancellation. We were very pleased with the 2 rooms we booked. Clean, simple, and comfortable for our one night stay. We arrived very late like 1am and the front desk was very pleasant despite our very late check in.

Shuttle was relatively easy to find (SFO needs more visible signage to hotel shuttles), it was clean and staff were friendly. I noticed there was a problem with WiFi while waiting in line to check in. Ended up it was never functional -- it just ghosted you, showing that you had wifi (on both phone and laptop), but not really connecting, so that I had to actually turn off WiFi for my phone to function. However... I only got one bar or less from anywhere in the hotel, so I was effectively cut off and had to go outside in the rain to make a phone call or search for nearby food! While I'm grousing, which I rarely make the effort to do, the eggs were the only thing that wasn't sugar, starch, or both for breakfast... except the only option was to take a mini omelette filled with something like cheese whiz, GAK. Good thing there were some fresh, crisp apples, but whew, couldn't wait to get to the airport for some real food, however expensive.

The shuttle for the hotel to the airport never picked us up!! We had to take a Lyft. The only reason why I paid for a full day at this hotel is so I could use the shuttle to take my family to the airport and we only stayed there for maybe 5-6 hours to rest before we left and I paid full price for a one night stay. I only did this was for the shuttle that never picked us up.
