Convenient to downtown Redwood City. We were able to walk to some nice restaurants. Breakfast was good as well. Good selection of carbs and protein. Everything seemed well maintained.

Really convenient location walking to a lot of places. The only thing is the hotel is close to a major road. My room is on the quiet side but can still hear some traffic noise at night. But overall not a bad choice.

Clean and Comfortable.

My family and I stayed here for a medical trip to Stanford University. Overall the hotel was clean. Breakfast was a little meh, but it was free so I’m not complaining. Staff is super friendly and helpful, they did a good job at making my family and my stay as comfortable as possible. There are quite a few food choices around, with Wendy’s being right next door and Harry’s Hofbrau across the street. The area is a little run down and older but we felt safe inside the hotel. If we had to again we would stay again.

Just ok, noisy

The room was fine. It is located on a major street and unfortunately I had a room closest to the street (likely because I booked through a 3rd party). The street noise was quite loud, even using a white noise app. Was difficult to sleep.

Disliked: Cleanliness
This is was a terrible choice. Unsafe, parking area dimly lit & appeared to be a “1 hour motel”.undesirable people walking around The parking area and hanging out in front. I refused to stay there with my wife. We found another location where we stayed. I should get my money back for this Rxpedia recommended
