Stayed in a queen one bedroom suite with our two dogs and father in law on the pull out couch. He managed, but the couch bed was super slouchy. Queen bed was very comfy, would have preferred a king bed option. Huge rooms and closet/drawer space. Lots of very decent breakfast foods included (for US standards, which are much worse than the rest of the world). Good location right next to shopping, near bay walking trails, and many restaurants. Friendly staff. Clean rooms. Warm bedroom lighting was refreshing considering many US hotels are turning to insane asylum lighting.

The rooms were clean but.... Disappointed in the state of the bathroom. Toilet seat was loose. The bathroom faucet was very hard to turn on. There is no fan in the bathroom so when we took a shower, the room got steamed up. The lighting in the bathroom was very dim. The refrigerator door was left ajar and it was not cold inside it. We will probably not stay here again.

The property was very clean and the staff was very nice. I am most particular about the bathroom and the shower. Most hotels that we've stayed at, the bathtub is usually clogged so you are showering with the water pooling on your feet. Not very clean after all. This hotel, however, is not like that. They have very good pressure on the shower and the water drains well. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Stayed 1 night

Traveled with Family to the bay area, decided to stay in a 2 queen room. The staff was very friendly about everything, they even gave us a room on their highest floor-5th floor-had a good view. The 2 queen bed suite was clean, had everything you can use with kids, dishes, utensils, microwave, large fridge would make for a great stay for a week long trip. Only downside was the pillows in the room because they were old and the covers were on the pillows were on the yellow side instead of it being white. I would toss the pillows and the covers and get some new ones. Breakfast was top class as well.

I had initially reserved a room with a king bed and was given a room with 2 queens. In speaking with the front desk they told me they didn't have any other room, which ultimately they did. I was told they thought by giving me the 2 beds that it was considered an "upgrade" and somewhat larger space which wasn't the case. In the end I was given a king which has a walk-in shower vs. a tub that I prefer. Also the noise factor coming from the halls seemed to be louder than in other places. The door peephole was broken and the TV screen was too small for that size of a room.

It wasn’t the best experience I have had. The bed was broken and didn’t know it til we got back from a real nice dinner. The breakfast was mediocre. The comfort of the bed was horrible too. My wife is handicapped and she was in so much pain sleeping on the bed. She barely slept and cried most of the night. I didn’t sleep well at all either. Couldn’t get comfortable either. I think I will stay somewhere else next time. The staff didn’t really care when I told them about our night. They just looked at us and said ok, we will have someone look at the bed after you check out. Really!!!
