I called to make a very last minute reservation after my original hotel decided to cancel my stay unexpectedly. The staff were friendly and got us into a room with no issues. The rooms were spacious and modern, with comfortable beds, a desk to work from, clean bathrooms, and plenty of outlets around the room. There isn't much of a view from any of the rooms but everything inside was clean and made for a relaxing stay. Parking is available and included in your stay. It's close to the freeway and straddles the border with San Lorzeno, with a couple of businesses nearby to explore.

The week before our stay, a 5th person who had previously said they weren't coming, decided to come. Expected to stay with us of course since they didn't want to pay for their own room. (Gotta love family. ) I called the hotel & explained what was happening & asked if we could get a cot or something so no one had to sleep on the floor. She put me on hold for a brief minute & then told me she was able to upgrade us to a room that had a couch that folded out to a bed. Then told me there'd be no extra charge. I was so grateful! When we checked in & got to the room, the sofa was in a small area with a wall, so you couldn't see the actual bedroom from the front door or sofa area. We saw there was an extra pillow in the closet, but no bedding there. When I told my daughter I was going to go to the lobby & get bedding, she suggested I fold it out first to see if it was made up. Sure enough, all made up with sheets & a blanket. Again, so appreciated! Very clean room, beds were comfortable, basic amenities provided, including a small fridge & coffee maker. Coffee, tea, creamers, and sugars provided. Hair dryer, ironing supplies also in the room with a nice sized closet/hangers. We didn't need them, but I like to include what was provided to help anyone reading this that may. This will be our go to hotel when in this area again. Lit parking lot & a person at the desk 24/7. Which was also appreciated since our uber was coming at 3AM to get us to the airport. Complimentary breakfast. Our daughter said it was "decent", but my husband & I were gone by the time it opened. coffee & tea available in a nice sized lobby 24/7. very much appreciated thing since we were leaving at 3AM! Vending machines also available with sodas, juices & water. (Pricey, but at least available!) pricing was good as well.

Positives - Convenient Parking in what seemed like a safe neighborhood. - Decent free hot breakfast. - Clean and comfortable room, with separate sleeping and Livingroom areas.

Bedspread was old and had cigarette burns. I've stayed here several times because I have family nearby and their rates are reasonable. They don't have irons in the rooms and lack toiletries. I asked for extra towels and was questioned about it. I had an emergency at home and had to leave a day earlier. I was told by the woman at the desk to let her the day before. I did and she told me she couldn't do anything because I paid through Expedia. I called Expedia and they asked me the name of the person to talked to earlier. She refused to give me that information and said, " You don't need to know! They know who to talk to!" I informed Expedia and was told Expedia would call. I asked to check out and the woman took my room cards and said, " We don't give you check out receipt!" She walked away! Rude! I would give it a minus 5 rating on customer service. The only good thing about this hotel is the grounds are well lit. I would not recommend this place at all! Don't go there!

You need your room key inserted into this slot by the door to keep the entry light on at all times. Room has a fridge, microwave, dishes, utensils and sink. The room itself is a good size and very clean. Bathroom has a stand-up shower. Hair dryer provided. They have complimentary breakfast and free wi-fi. Loved my stay and wish I could've stayed longer. Overall 10/10

But we had a flight the next morning and just tried to buck up. I woke up thinking there was something in my hair but brushed it off thinking I was just half asleep. It happened again so I scooted down on the bed and just prayed I was wrong. The 3rd time it woke me up it was on my cheek sniffing my ear. I could feel its little feet and whiskers sniffing my ear. I've never been so horrified in my life. I jumped up, took a quick shower and ran to the office with my hair sopping wet. The clerk said he would let the manager know. I let him know I want a full refund, and no one called me from the hotel today, even to just apologize. Even if they refuse to reimburse me I just want everyone to know NOT to stay at this disgusting hotel. We got a non smoking room And immediately smelled smoke when we walked in. We also woke up in the middle of the night to a bunch of cops with sirens yelling at someone to get out of the car, that took awhile. There was very loud noise from the freeway, and from car stereos all night. I had to rent a room at SFO to dry my hair, and I've been exhausted all day, and I haven't heard a peep from management. I never write reviews. But this needed to be said.

Decent property in the mid-range of Hilton family of hotels. The site has simple access to major…read morefreeways (roughly, a 5-10 min drive) and even though it is on a busy street, the rooms are quiet at night. Ample parking with wide spaces although I was unpleasantly surprised that this hotel, like so many others in the Bay Area, recently started charging a fee for parking (as of Oct 2025, $7/night). This applies even to the highest level of Hilton HHonors program members. While not an exorbitant amount, it still smacks of the kinds of ridiculous nickel and diming that many hotels engage in recently. Otherwise, my stays here are usually pretty restful, with a diverse selection of nearby dining options, clean rooms with more A/C outlets than most hotels in its price range, and fairly modern decor.

From the start, the front desk was incredibly friendly and patient, answering all my questions. When we arrived, the lobby was being mopped, and the hallways were being vacuumed as we headed to our rooms. The hotel looked and smelled very clean, which we really appreciated. We booked two queen bedroom suites with connecting doors. Each room had a pull-out couch so each room accommodated up to six people. The suites were equipped with a full-size fridge, microwave, dishes and sink. The bathroom also came stocked with toiletries. Breakfast was included and offered hot options. One morning they served sausage, English muffins and eggs. The next morning, they substituted chicken for the sausage, which allowed us to make our own breakfast sandwiches. Both days, they had the usual options like oatmeal, yogurt, waffle maker, hard boiled eggs. The breakfast was good. Tea and coffee is available in the lobby all day, which was nice after a long day. Overall, we'd definitely stay here again. The hotel was very clean and had a comfortable, homey feel. I'm honestly not sure why it has some of the lower reviews.

They actually had a room ready and let us check in one hour early. To keep this review brief, I decided to just give the pros and cons and add informative photos. Pros: comfy king bed, big closet, large safe, microwave, fridge, keurig, quiet room, open balcony, San Francisco Bay Trail below our balcony, large bath with separate shower, Exercise room with no free weights, Quench water machine, EV chargers, snack/drink machines, morning breakfast/coffee served (worth skipping). Cons: No USB ports in the room?! Hotel is fairly close to the sketchy side of town (homeless camp 200 ft from hotel). No cold bottled water for rewards members, no pool, no airport shuttle, carpeting instead of laminate flooring, paid parking, our thermostat was really glitchy and would not work. Added benefit: your hotel key gains you access to the Executive Inn and Suites next door. There you will find a small pool/hot tub. There's also a small bar that opens at 5pm (happy hour 5:30-7:30) and you can order food as well. A Monday night stay was $325 and they charge $17 a day to park in their lot next to Hwy 880, not in a garage. I thought the rate was fairly high considering it's not the closest hotel to the airport and it's in the sketchy part of town. Check out the photos.
