The front desk staff, Juan and zashi (?) were excellent and treated us so well. The bay bridge view room was perfect. Pillows were too think/big, but other than that, a great stay!

Was told upon check in that fire alarm check planned for next morning w/no recognition of inconvenience to us (we checked out early). Extremely noisy all night due to elevator & ice machine. Mouse in restaurant. Broken tile in bathroom. Uncomfortable bedding. Old air conditioning system barely worked.

Friendly, Clean, Comfy!
Walking distance to Amtrak bus stop. Quiet. Small rooms--but fine for one or two adults.
Perry's restaurant is good with fair prices! Near South Beach and Oracle Park!
