"Staff was almost excellent, at arrival you are sent an email with your room code ours was 6-8 digits I cant remember but it is also the code to enter the hotel after hours. I was waiting for food delivery and my phone died the lady at the front desk watched me leave the lobby take my food from the delivery guy and turn to come back in and it was locked I gestured to her I couldn't get in and the reply was shrugging of her shoulders as if to say "to bad" I held up my phone to show it was dead and got nothing it took another guy there to walk over and let me back in (very disappointed in that part) other then this one incident the stay was great, the rooms and place all together was clean and inviting and the staff where very helpful at check-in and to give directions to parking Great place would recommend Parking is close about 2 blocks away at roughly $50/day (this part has nothing to do with the hotel)"

8/10 Good
"The room was dated. I had a couple of large visible cracks and holes in the walls and corners up to the ceiling. The room faced south which was a busy street. The traffic didn’t bother me but the 2am car stereo that passed through each night seemed like a regular path. The area of the through road between buildings was like an echo chamber that magnified the sound. For light sleepers, I cannot recommend. For heavy sleepers or people that stay out/ up past 3am this would not bother you. The WiFi worked. The elevators work. The room refrigerator is empty but spacious. Trader Joe’s is and Target are just a quick 5 minute walk for drinks or groceries. The hotel does have an ice machine. It is on floor M, which is attached to 2nd floor by stairs. The floor also has vending machines. I lost money. No reimbursement. Staff even walked past. I took the suggestion to add coins. I lost about one paper dollar and 6 quarters for $1.50 soda can. The machine takes credit cards payment but there were so many people nearby with computers and the tap area seemed loose, I was not comfortable trying. I had an experience with credit card identity theft which ended costing me more. I took my loss as a learning moment to just go to Target and buy a box of soda. Safe for solo travelers. Hotel is next to all transit and BART. Ideal location. The front door has a doorbell. The room key card opens the front door of the hotel and moves the elevator. All room electronics have timer/ sensor."
