Property didn’t provide even drinking water and no one was to address issues. We left in few minutes, since it was too humiliating. We need our money refunded since we didn’t expected such things on Expedia platform

We have to come to SF regularly, specifically UCSF. We have stayed somewhere different every time. This place was great. Parking was easy (not if you have a big vehicle). Upon entering the lobby it smelled great!! The man at reception was friendly and smiling (maybe a first for that)/ The 2 bed room was good size, clean and we love to have a fridge and microwave. The mountain view was beautiful. The breakfast was great. Waffles, English muffins, juice, coffee, yogurt, eggs and cheese and assorted hot teas and condiments. We will be back. This was a great bang for the buck!! (Also ran into a few workers having breakfast and were quick to see if we needed help, we only had jumped off the elevator one floor past the breakfast)

Gets the job done.

Solid hotel for overnight stay. Breakfast is basic, but overall hotel provides fair value for money.
