“would be 5 stars if not for a tricky parking lot :P”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 4, 2013

This little hotel really does have comfortable rooms, so much so that it is hard to wake up in the morning....the beds must have magnets :) The hotel is well kept and clean, with all non-smoking rooms (there are several ash trays in convenient locations) which adds freshness to the rooms :) They have excellent Wifi and Satellite selection if you just want to kick back and relax. Located on the busy El Camino thoroughfare, it can be a little tricky seeing the hotel because the narrow end faces the street, but this also keeps noise non-existant during the stay....for the price, this is an excellent place to spend an evening or weekend without sacrificing comforts for costs

“Good for the price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 1, 2012

We'd read some less than positive reviews, but decided to try it as the location and price were very good. We were pleasantly surprised -- front desk friendly & helpful, room clean & comfortable. For the price we thought it was a very good value. Would stay there again. Good location -- plenty of restaurants on Laurel Street which was close by.

Room Tip: We asked for a quiet room on an upper floor and it was quiet.

“Good, clean hotel, worth the price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 18, 2012 via mobile

The hotel was nice and our room was clean, neat and tidy. The hotel staff was also very friendly. Free wifi (very fast!), plenty of parking space and free breakfast included. The breakfast is simple but nice. If you want to go to SF (without driving into The City), you can take the CalTrain or drive to Daly City Bart Station (appr. 15 min.) and take the Bart train (appr. 15 min).

“Nice place for a good nights rest”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 14, 2012

This place is easy to find and is great value, free wifi is a big bonus. The rooms are good size and there are plenty of amenities. It looks like it has been newly renovated and the reception was helpful. Would stay again if was traveling through.

“Newly updated, comfortable stay.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 2, 2012

I booked a last minute room on Expedia and for the price $69 plus tax, it was excellent.The manager would not offer this same price if I decided to stay a second night, and he did not quote me any offer at all, which I thought was odd, as the room was available and even it was not available at the price I paid,it would have been nice to know what the price was,instead of just say "No its not available" in a polite sort of way. The room was very comfortable with newer HD television and cable,and clean throughout. I liked the location also.

Room Tip: Watch for specials on Expedia!
