The manager was wonderful: helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. Housekeeping was excellent. Microwave and fridge provided. Plenty of clean towels and pillows. Nice hot shower and bathtub. 99% quiet environment. Hair dryer can be borrowed from office. Safeway store and many eateries within a few blocks. Unbeatable price for Bay area!

Rooms are small and furnishings are bare bones but met my expectations for the low nightly rate. Don't expect hooks, rails, or hangers to hang things. Renovations are due, but then they would undoubtedly have to charge more, and I'm perfectly content with things as they are.

I slept well; the bed was comfortable. The heater worked well and was quiet. I liked the shower -- the flow was steady and even. Microwave and small refrigerator were already running when we got there. Good location for us because it was only five minutes from our event.

Would have liked a small coffee machine in the room. The TV worked well once I figured out how to get it set up, so having an information card about that would have been useful.

This hotel is a great value for the money and is close to both the freeway as well as the shopping center nearby (with a Safeway). The rooms were clean and as quiet as you can be when you are near a freeway. The bed was very comfortable and the staff very friendly.

The hotel is old and worn, so we did have an issue when the shower curtain detached from the wall. The manager fixed this right away - so a didn't like was taken care of. The room was provided with a fan, but I didn't like the fact that the temperature was not well controlled - using fan/portable heaters/windows for ventilation.

It was clean and the bed was comfortable. It also cool down well at night.

It was very basic. Furnishings were old, but functional. Nothing fancy, but did the job.

very budget friendly and convenient location close to gas stations and food options

perhaps an updated exterior/interior/updated sign to appeal to more people. because besides the aforementioned, location, arrangements, staff and convenience are all great.

I liked almost everything

In the suites there should be a TV in both bedrooms so you can lay in bed and watch TV. I'm traveling with my son and we don't like the same shows

There was no breakfast, place was ideal to get to Sausalito and Mt Tam!

The place was just a little bit tired as far as the decor goes.
