This is a repeat hotel for us as we use the SF Airport at least once a year. The location is not great for walking or getting exercise - but there are a number of shopping areas and restaurants within walking distance. The staff is helpful and the breakfast (included) is very good, having improved in the past few years.

Not good
This property is way more run down than photos. I’m a single woman and they put me in a room at the back of the property with men all around partying, loud, and drinking beer. I did not feel safe. Went to customer service and was told the only room I could switch to was again at the back of the hotel, smaller, with less beds, and less amenities. The room also smelled like urine. Not a good experience and I won’t stay here again.

Nice retro hotel with modern comfort. This was good experience from check in to check out. Room was safe and comfortable, staff was nice, breakfast had a good selection, and I loved feeling like I had stepped back to the 1950s motor inn era.
