    The Area has become run down. Many closed restaurants. People hanging out in their TV’s in the parking lot next door.

    Great breakfast. Nice staff. Free bike loan. View of the bay/defunct marina.

    I would suggest more breakfast options. I was surprised by the small choices to eat from.. Being waffles and boiled egg and oatmeal as the main course.. Yes, the waffle machines were nice but for the price paid for the stay, I feel as if breakfast should've been more varied.

    I would be honest I was impressed by the cleaniness. It was clean and I loveddd the natural room lighting. I got lucky with a room that had a view and wow it was perfect! I got a king room and the bed was clean nothing was disturbing.

    The Marina was a ghost town. All the boats that used to be docked there are no longer able to get in and out of the Marina due to lack dredging

    I grew up a mile away from the location

    Furniture and rugs a little rundown and outdated, but everything was clean. I was surprised we were charged for parking, for a-slightly suburban location and huge parking lot thought it should come with the stay.

    The staff were very friendly. Coffeemaker in the room was great. The breakfast was excellent. The room was cozy. Nice location by the bay. We were only staying in San Fran area for one night and our stay was a jumping off point for driving to Yosemite. Easy spot to leave the city.

    When I checked in I ask for a cab in the morning. It was not there, nor had it been arranged. I was given the impression that would be done. I don't us uber or lyft. I would have called if they had given me a number and told me to. It was 05:45am. The morning staff used the van and drove me, even though I was told that it was out of your delivery area.

    The breakfast selection wasn’t exactly what I would like. Besides that it was a decent place to stay.

    It was nice easy check in. Nice view with enough parking. They had waffles for breakfast. It seemed pretty clean in the room too.

    It was like being by the water and it was cheap enough I will do again.

    i’ve stayed at this hotel many times over the years. The rooms are starting to get a bit dated and worn as should be expected. A couple things are really annoying. The first is that in the bathroom, the showers are small, made more of a pain by the placement of the holders for shampoo and body soap being put right where you have the least amount of space. It wasn’t well thought out. The second and even more important thing is is that the parking cost have continually gone up over and over again to the point of as of now they’re $18 a day you’re kind of held captive because there’s just no other place to park in the area like on the street or something, and frankly if they want to charge that much extra money, they should roll it into the price of the room so really, they’re just charging you over 10% of your room cost to park. Ultimately it’s becoming cheaper to say someplace else that’s just as nice that doesn’t have this issue.

    The rooms are pretty comfortable here and the staff is excellent

    Nice place, well equipped, comfortable. But parking is not included and expensive, and WiFi unusable

    The WiFi, supposedly fast, was utter crap and unusable. I could barely detect the signal from my room, let alone properly use it... Also, I thought that the parking was included with the hotel room. I had to pay 18$ to park my car for one night... That is quite expensive especially since there seem to be a lot of space nearby.

    The property and the room is very nice and clean. It also has a very nice bath tube. The staff was nice. The breakfast that is provided was really nice. The area around looks good, located in the Marina, just a few steps away from the Bay, and very close to a few restaurants.
