Nice large rooms, stayed twice during my trip. Third floor was quite, first floor a bit of noisy but I did try to sleep quite early in the evening due to a very early flight in the morning. Close to the airport. I will stay here again in the future.

Awesome Spot

Check-in was smooth and quick. The room was very clean and comfortable. There is a small parking garage below the building with an elevator. The water comes out hot, and I really liked the shampoo/conditioner. We are only staying one night, so it checks all the boxes for us. The only thing is I wish the bed was a little softer but that’s most hotels.

Convenient for flying in and out of San Francisco

We needed a place to stay the night before an early flight out of San Francisco. This was very convenient as we had to drop off a rental car the night before. The shuttle to the airport was so convenient but very full. I think a second shuttle or in larger one would’ve been helpful. The shuttle stop at multiple hotel. The front desk staff was so friendly and welcoming. Very clean and comfortable room and shower.

Very convenient for an overnight stay close to the airport. Shuttle service was efficient both ways, good communication, would stay here again. Only complaint was the area the hotel was in didn't seem amazing, but to be fair I didn't get out and explore much.

Property is characterized by unrealized potential. Rooms are large and lovely, but room 206 had very low water pressure and lukewarm hot water, empty soap dispensers in the shower, and the heater made strange clicking noises when the fan was set to low. Cable TV could not receive CNN, and only one shuttle per hour does not necessarily make for a convenient connection to flight schedules. Marginal value at $200 per night..
