It was a nice place but our room has a musty smell when we first came … but they fixed it right away. Don’t do much on the amenities as it was raining most of the time and we usually get back to the Inn by night time. Otherwise it was a great place.i have 4 stars because it was too far from the SFO airport which I didn’t realize it ( it was my fault).

The room 111 assigned to us: when attempting to key in the room was occupied. Then room 342 given to us smelled of smoke. Now in room 124 sharing a small queen bed with my son who requires his own bed The front desk said they were sold out and if it wasn’t late I would have left and asked for a refund this place is not wonderful as the reviews state, it’s really run down and like a motel Do not stay here

I had searched for free parking when we booked the room, at check in we were told that we would be charged $17 for their “amenities” which was parking, pool, and workout room. We were given a bottle of wine at check in, I would have rather not paid for the amenities. Room was small as was the bathroom area, but the room was very clean.
