I stay at this hotel often because it is clean and conveniently located to public transportation and restaurants. The management is friendly and the cost is the best bang for my buck. This hotel far surpasses other cheaper hotels in the area. I have recommended this hotel to family and friends because the hotel staff and management are professional and... More

Small breakfast, whirlpool and sauna included; room was decent. Good weekly rate. I'd return... Location was convenient to the Bay Area. Used my earplugs due to train across 4- lane road - would recommend.

I came here because I had a job interview in the area. To be clear this hotel just provides the basics, but it does it very well. The rooms appear quite dated, but they are very clean and the beds are very comfortable. They also provide internet access as well. Finally, the trader joe's across the street was very convenient....

I'm always a bit leary of certain budget motel chains like ABVI, but I stayed here three nights last week and I was very satisfied. Driving into central SF (25 miles) can take nearly an hour during rush hour but for me that was a fair trade-off for such a clean, inexpensive room. (SFO is a 20 minutes drive.) Light... More

We got in almost close to midnight and an Indian guy attended to us. He was not friendly at all. He sounded pissed at being bothered at that time of the night to attend to us. His tone when explaining where our room is was not something one would like to hear after a 12-hour flight. The room is clean... More

Rooms are the basic of what you need and they are clean. They also smell clean...I.e. no odor at all. Just clean and fresh...they don't use fake perfumed sprays to cover odors like other inns do. But just a note that the Internet connection can be spotty. During our 2-night stay my Internet connection went on and off several times,... More

It's a great place to stay . The staff is so professional and house-keeping is of top class. Being so close to the Redwood shores makes it a best place to stay for an official trip. The manager and his wife make me feel very comfortable with their hospitality and family type spirit.If you are looking for an affordable, comfortable,... More
