10/10 Excellent

A great place to stay when travelling through SFO and you don’t want to be downtown. The only shortcoming was there was no airport shuttle, however an uber was only around $25 and we enjoyed the property. Room service was a local delivery of Aegean or burgers. Which was fine. Breakfast was complementary and quite good.
