Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Multiple health and safety violations including: Black mold, no hot water, no soap, exposed insulation and toxic materials, windows that were deliberately disabled from opening, not changing the towels between guests and dead insects on the towels. I was in room 107 and then room 111. In room 107 there was no soap, no hot water, and the heat never got above 52 degrees. In room 111, there was black mold showing through a very thin layer of paint, dead insects on the towels that had been used to kill them by the previous guest or the staff, the door was coming apart with exposed insulation, the bathroom windows were deliberately disabled so they could not be opened for ventilation. I reported to staff, the receptionist "Griselda" and the manager "Namrata", as well as the maintenance worker. The receptionist and handyman both lied to me repeatedly, then the receptionist lied to the manager when she thought that I couldn't hear her. There was a long list of complaints about filth, pipes, and heating in a list with the corresponding room numbers, including no heat in room 108, sitting on the reception desk, but the manager tried to lie to me that there was no problem in any other room or with any other guest. This is a place of business that makes lying their standard. The first time I caught the receptionist lying, she tried to convert me to her religion and the second time she threatened me. They said I had to wait 2 days to talk to a manager, and then refused to refund me!

Nice room. Unfortunately ours was near the highway with lots of traffic noise. I recommend booking a room at the back. Breakfast was very basic. Good price for the Bay Area

The room was great! The getting there was the difficult part. Outside was very dark and you can’t see the numbers of the rooms. I found myself stopping and getting out of the car to try and see the number. Also there’s a way back area of rooms and as a woman traveling alone it’s not the best. Also it was loud outside and I found myself turning the lights off cause I felt I was so far back that if someone banged on my door it would be scary.

My partner and I chose this place specifically because it advertised having a jacuzzi. Even called prior to ensure that it was up and running, since it was non-operable the last time we stayed. When we arrived it was completely drained & no work had been done. Very disappointing. Also, I was told by the manager that my stay would have been $112.00 if I had booked directly through them and not gone through Expedia. Thought going through Expedia would save me money not cost me that much more then booking directly with the hotel.

Mattress was uncomfortable and the room was not very clean. People in the room next door were being kicked out of their room by management and were arguing , then hanging out on the sidewalk in front of the room continuing to shout and argue for several hours. It did not feel safe or secure. Will not stay in this establishment again.

Shower in room had black mold and no ventilation. Grass outside is fake so it's probably hella dirty when people let their dogs do business on it even if the crap gets picked up. Things look nice in pictures but when you are there it's run down or nasty especially the rooms.

Check in was pretty seamless. Our only issue was one of the rooms, room 123, the toilet did not work. I had a colleague in that room as I had booked the hotel for everyone and she did not let me know until the next morning that the toilet wasn't working so I'm not sure how long they went without a working toilet. My few suggestions is to maintain the rooms and improve your continental breakfast. There was very little offered for the breakfast and for a long day of attending conferences, it's important to start with a good breakfast. Maybe some more proteins such as yogurt, cheese something along those lines a little more variety and better options for coffee. I would love to stay here throughout the year but I do you need a few more amenities to make that happen do need a few more amenities to make that happen
