The room was good for our purpose (close to SFO and reasonably priced). However, it was noisy and seemed to be in a dangerous area.

I liked the quietness, convenient location, and most affordable. It has microwave and mini fridge, but we did not need to use it. Good amount of parking spaces, and no parking fee. However, the lobby/entrance was locked when we checked in and out and had to use the side window to talk to someone. There was no greetings. The lobby entrance door was so dirty, it was full of dust, dried leaves and cob web. Seems like no one has ever used that door ever. The room smelled bad when we first opened the door. The second night it was okay. The floor carpet looked very dirty and very old, with dark stains all over. The sink was missing a sink drain strainer. The bathtub drainer was not in but put on the tub. The desk drawer was missing a door knob. For 2 nights, we did not meet or see any other guest or travelers. The place looked very deserted and empty. The courtyard was very dirty with dried leaves and trash. The ice machine did not work. I did not even feel like a motel! It felt like a low income apartment. The picture of the lobby on the website did not look like anything what I saw and visited---way the opposite of what I experienced. The people who checked me in and out, looked like they were awaken from a nap. Will not come back!!!

The only positive is the room wasn't that bad but the area is very rough I ordered uber eats and a homeless guy tried taking my food from the delivery guy and when I grabbed the food he followed me back to my room and kept knocking on my door and asking to come in and didn't wanna go away I almost called the cops but he eventually went away. I told the property manager and he didn't seemed to worried about it and acted liked this was pretty normal. This is a very rough area and not recommended for single women or children.Im a pretty big guy I'm not worried about my self but as stated above I would be worried if it was just my wife or if I had my kid with me

I’ve stayed here 4 times and on 2 of the occasions, it was very clear the room hadn’t been fully cleaned (hand basin, trash not emptied). Makes you wonder what else hadn’t been cleaned.. Front desk staff always very helpful, but they need to get new cleaners or coach them to do a complete job

Place was full of tweakers and we had duct tape on the door jam preventing the door from locking. I removed it of course.
