This property does not have free parking, this may be an area thing because when I stay on the central coast the parking is free. However, if you choose to not pay the $21 dollar fee, you can probably park on the street. If you travel light this might be the way to go. It's a quiet neighborhood or at least was this weekend even for a home-team football game. The hotel was clean and very modern yet still very comfortable. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

This is our favorite hotel when we attend a 49ers game. The AC is modern, clean, comfortable, and within walking distance from Levy’s stadium. Electric chargers are available with no additional fee. Breakfast is too expensive, but other than that, it is perfect.

Had an amazing stay at this hotel. From the moment my partner and I walked in, we noticed how clean and fresh everything smelled. The atmosphere was private and peaceful, with very few people around, making it feel like our own little getaway. The bathroom was modern and well maintained, and the view was a nice bonus. The gym, while not huge, had everything needed for a solid workout. Overall, the hotel was spotless, comfortable, and exactly what we were looking for. Would definitely stay here again!!

The place is modern, clean, and relatively comfortable. Service was really nice and parking was ample. The one drawback- open concept bathrooms should never be a thing. The toilet "stall" with a frosted glass door that doesn't latch or reach the floor, or reach the ceiling, pretty much guarantees you'll have plenty to discuss with your partner later. The shower, also with as stall, was plenty big. Our room didn't have a separate bathroom but I noticed some rooms did when passing by the cleaning crew. Hope you're luckier than us.

We had booked the king suite for our stay. I called around 2 just to see if early check in was available since our check in was at 3. I was told that the person that was in the room before me was an ambassador and had a guaranteed 4 pm check out time. This was not great to hear as we had drove pretty far to get here. I would not have booked this room/hotel if I knew that ahead of time. We arrived at the hotel to speak with someone about the situation and we were put into another room while we waited for our room to be ready which I appreciated. Once we got into our room we looked around and found a bunch of hair in the shower and sink in the bathroom, the floor out in the sitting area by the couch was VERY sticky. The shower in our room did not look clean and wasn’t very nice like the pictures show it to be. I was not impressed with the room overall and probably would not stay here again.

The hotel itself looked very good. Very well decorated and appealing. The room was nice as well at first. However, when I woke up and got ready to shower, I noticed what looked like a rodent dropping in front of the shower. It looked like a coffee bean but I hadn’t had any coffee in the room. I also noticed some crumbs underneath the bed which I am positive were not mine. Nice hotel but I’m sure there was something in that room.

This hotel has been my favorite stay so far! I loved our room. It has a very modern vibe and warm lighting that gives it such a cozy feel. The layout is perfect for a single guest or a couple who is very comfortable with each other. (Keep this in my mind as you wouldn’t find as much privacy with someone you are not that comfortable with) . Overall I personally have no complaints. Staff was friendly and professional. Would definitely book here again for a future stay!

This was my second time staying at this hotel for multiple nights. Overall stay was very nice. Room was clean and quiet. I was pleasantly surprised to have a very mini fridge in the room. Beds were comfy and warm. Parking was easy and hotel centrally located to 101 and central expressway. Only odd thing was the surrounding properties, they had what looked like abandoned buildings and a rusty steal beam yard. Would recommend hotel and definitely stay again.

Love this hotel! The rooms were carpet free, clean, modern and spacious. The staff at this hotel are friendly and provide great service. The shampoo/conditioner provided in the bathroom were great quality and large quantities. It is a little far from Levi Stadium (about 40 min walk). That was the only drawback for us because we were there for a 49ers game.
