This hotel is extremely basic. Decently clean. Expect nothing. The main reason i booked is that hotels.com said the south san francisco bart stop was a 12min walk. This is completely untrue. The closest stop is the airport or san bruno. And san bruno is 40min walk. The hotel shuttle also only runs part of the day. The shuttle runs from 5am-noon and 5pm-midnight. It runs every 45min or so. None of this is communicated on the site
