Good R&R

Accessibility to restaurants and eateries is a little sketchy, but Marco Polo is very comfortable. Other than road noise, it's fairly quiet. The managers I met were wonderful. I had a good two nights rest. Just what the Dr. ordered.

No-Frills Motel With Easy Check-In

It’s a simple, no-frills motel that shows its age but is kept clean and maintained. Check-in was convenient—I just texted a photo of my driver’s license, received my room number and door code, and found a metal key waiting inside. I appreciated not having to interact with anyone.

Great place to stay if you’re on a budget. Close to everything and Fremont neighborhood is a cool neighborhood. Great restaurants and bars and all that you need close by. The owners of the hotel are always there and very nice to interact with.
