The room was clean. Housekeeping was excellent. The woman at the counter when I checked in was friendly and efficient. Parking was convenient with no additional fee. The breakfast was poor: cold cereals in cardboard boxes, pastries, yogurts, apple and orange juice (but ran out of OJ on the second day). No hot food. No place to sit down. I wanted an extra hour on Sunday morning -- not an unusual request -- but was told that was not possible because so many people were checking out then. It was the weekend of the Stanford-Cal football game. With so many people checking out, the desk could have arranged for my room to be among the last cleaned, thus giving me the extra hour. Finally, there was an additional $17.50 per day, per room for "amenity fee." I had stayed there before. and I and noted no additional amenities. I reserved two rooms. That meant $70 more for nothing and that fee was exorbitant.
