Andrew, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

This hotel was generally a good value for the cost. However, I am an elderly woman and was assigned a room on the second floor. The property has no elevator so I was obliged to lug my suitcase up a flight of stairs to get to my room.

Dave, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Peaceful property, older and vintage but still pleasant. Cleanliness of the bathroom needed to be better as there were cobwebs in the window and splats on the wall. Beds were comfortable.
Jan, 2-night trip

Will travel for a race!

This is an older hotel - kinda feels like visiting my grandma. That said, the rooms are spacious, the folks are super friendly. If you need 5-star, go elsewhere. If you want friendly and affordable with good amenities, stay here. I stay here every time I travel to a Bay Area race.

8/10 Good

Spacious and quiet, but dated rooms

The motel was fine for a quick stay. I came with a coffee machine, fridge and a microwave. The carpets looked really old and dirty and the bathroom was clearly dated from the 80's. It was quite spacious and quiet. The continental breakfast was quite filling and the lovely lady made us waffles, which was a great touch to the usual donuts as a continental breakfast in other motels.
