Avoid at all cost !

This is the worst hotel in the Bay Area and I would avoid it at all cost. I went to check in and I explained to the woman at the front door that I have a two year old and the facility was not acceptable for a toddler She said she would cancel the reservation and refund the money but when hotels.com called she refused to cancel and refund the money In any case, the hotel is run down and should not be listed on hotels.com

The stay was great for the price. The room was spacious and comfy. It was “walking distance” to the Bart, along a pretty busy street.

Never aqain.

Room 202 1.card never worked proper front lock assembly was duct taped apparently to secure it to the front door, the card key never worked properly to get the green light to open the front door, there was a towel under the a/c unit apparently to cach leaks from comdensation, all doors had chips and the complimentary bar of soap was displayed unwrapped. The linen, toilet, and tub looked clean enough to use. When reported to the manager about the card key issue he says call him and he'll give me access to the room. I don't see how you can sustain a business that way.

For the price you can’t expect much. Key didnt work, I had to wake up the manager every time I wanted to get in my room. Rusted doors, no coffee maker, no iron. The heater rattled all night long. Like I said for $70 you get what you pay for.
