The hotel is cozy and conveniently located close to everything, making it a great choice for a relaxing stay. The rooms are spacious and clean, offering a sink outside of the bathroom, which is a practical feature. However, having three beds in the room might make it a bit crowded.

The dining experience is delightful with included homemade bread, adding a personal touch to meals. Overall, the facilities are well-maintained, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Stayed at this hotel and had a great time overall. The location is excellent, right in the heart of the city and very close to the BART station. The rooms were in good condition and spacious, although having the sink outside the bathroom was a bit inconvenient. The service, especially the housekeeping and laundry, was top-notch. The dining experience was pleasant with included meals, including some delicious thin crispy fries. A good value for the money, though some minor improvements could make it even better.
