Great place, great price
We stayed here while visiting Six Flags. Very clean and updated rooms. The front office was very helpful and friendly. Right off the freeway so easy to get around. The property is fenced and there were security cameras all around so we felt very safe. We would definitely stay here again.

What a dump.
What a dump. I had to call the front desk twice. The heater stopped working and the TV had no signal. The guy at the desk had to come reset the breaker and change the Setting on a different remote that wasn’t in the room for the TV.

The only real issue I had was the guy at the window lied about some simple stuff. I asked if they had WiFi. He told me no. Hours later, I noticed on my phone they did have it. I didn't understand that at all. Other than that, the place was pretty decent

It's okay.
We just like to get a motel room and then take the ferry to San Francisco. So the motel is just a place to drop our things and sleep. It's not a fancy place, but it serves our purpose.

The hotel was fine and the room was clean and beds were fine. However, the air conditioner worked poorly which made the room hot and muggy

Best Hotel in $70 - $100 price range in Bay Area.
I have tried at least 10 hotels in this price range in Bay Area, this is the Best, bar none. From the time that I checked in the management was friendly and helpful. I was not expecting this because of the location. But management has dealt with it so well that it is like an oasis. All new remodeling and appliances from a new 2 door refrigerator with a wholly separate freezer with lots of room, satellite television with movie channels, new tub/shower combo, nice new sinks and counters outside the bathroom (with coffee maker). There is a new air conditioner/heater that works wonderfully; new windows that block out all noise outside; newly painted walls with long mirrors and excellent lighting. There is also a microwave, clothes rack, dresser and comfortable chairs. *** The shower has a good stream and a new powerful exhaust fan. There are new curtains that fit perfectly and do the job and comfortable chairs, WIFI, and the bed. The bed is the best. It is new, very comfortable, feels almost like a pillow top, and at least 25" to 26" off the floor. The night outside lighting and security is superb -- no unwanted or unauthorized visitors, cars and valuables are safe. I slept with my room window open all night, every night of my 5 day stay. Local marina, grocery stores, restaurants all in close proximity -- freeway entrance/exit within a quarter mile. I stayed in hotels more than 90 days in the bay area in the last year and this is my first positive review.

Great value for what you get
I stay at Express Inn every year (this being my third time) during BottleRock music festival in Napa. The rooms are worn but clean and comfortable, the staff friendly, prices super affordable (especially compared to Napa), and the location is just a quick drive from Napa. Free wifi, satellite TV, microwave and fridge are definite perks. I guess some could view the neighborhood as sketchy, but I've never had problems or seen anything suspicious, even when I've returned from the festival late and had to park on the street.

You Get What You Pay For
The Express Inn is conveniently right next to the freeway. When you check in, you are given the remote to your TV and your room key with the access code to their unreliable, free Wi-Fi. The rooms are labeled "non-smoking," but the rooms are stuffy and give off a stench of cigarette smoke. The bathrooms are interesting.....The toilet paper was almost ready to switch to a new roll when we arrived, the holder is almost out of reach from the toilet, and you have to exit the bathroom, walk across the room and around the corner to wash your hands No matter how you adjust the shower curtain, the water leaks all over the floor and the shower head only points to the wall. In the morning, the owner burst into our room, no knock, mistaking our room for the room next door. He did quickly close the door and followed up with a prompt call of apology from the office. Upon gathering our belongings to check out the next morning, we discovered lots of candy and wrapper under the bed that was not ours.It was cheap place for four girls to crash overnight after a local event, but like I said, you get what you pay for.

Close to freeway
Was close enough to the freeway that you could hear it. It's over priced. Beds were way too soft which means they are very old. In a room with two queen beds (4 people), there was only 2 towels.

Good Hotel, Sketchy Area
They hotel was clean and had everything you would expect. It was a bit loud occasionally due to other patrons and the fact it was RIGHT next to the freeway. If you are a sound sleeper then it will be no problem for you.

Decent room, Sketchy exterior
The room was okay, clean bed and towels. The location is right smack next to the free way in a not-so-decent neighborhood but I didn't feel super unsafe. There aren't enough parking spots so you you have to drive around back to an empty lot. This place is ideal for spending a single night before an event such as the Pirate Festival. Staff was fairly friendly, there is an overwhelming curry smell for the office but whatevs

Ok for money
Room was smaller than expected. Clean but in need of attention cosmetically. A good paint job and new plumbing would go far. The roof access wasn't sealed properly and anybody could push or pull the hatch to gain access. Very limited hot water. Kind of hard to locate due to tiny street in housing neighbourhood. Let's not discuss the condom in the bedside drawer. The only reason I would I tell my friends about this place is because of the price. I wish I did have the funds to stay in San Francisco. No bugs, relatively clean, in need of some care, small rooms, nice staff.

Motel, not a Hotel
First impression is when checking in you talk to a guy behind a glass window, he hands you your room key and a remote, this is a MOTEL, not a hotel. The bathroom ceiling had mold growing on it. Little to no parking unless you park in the back where it is fenced, which I felt was safer than the parking lot. I booked this room because we were taking a trip to six flags, and this motel is two blocks away which was the best part. It’s right near the freeway which I didn’t notice at all while I was sleeping. This was also on a weekend; there were a lot of people in and out of the hotel rooms, this made things a little uneasy.

Never again
The hotel we wanted was book so the hotel.com rep told me this hotel was just 5min away for less. And to speak to the hotel manager through a glass window, I was given my room key and the television remote, room smelled. Slept in CAR!

clean and convenient "bare-bones" cut-rate motel
Absolutely nothing fancy but clean, comfortable and located just seconds from the interstate (which we never heard at night). No breakfast except in-room coffee maker. Overall better than expected for the price (less than half the cost of nearby motels).
