Room was clean and comfortable. Parking was tight but we’re able to park. Parking was free and. We stayed here for the free parking and the closeness to San Francisco.
Room was clean and good, unfortunately directly next to the laundry room which produced a more disturbing noise than the trains, which I knew about and enjoy.

Not a family friendly area. The residents were loud throughout the night. Trains go right by the building frequently, including at night.

Room was ok. Original room booked wasn't ready when we arrived but it was ok. Staff was friendly. But I would bring airfreshner or a travel air purifier. Our whole floor and the 2nd floor smelled like pot. We were in a hurry so we only had time to check in, change and go.
But for the price, it was what it was. Good location, walking distance to BART. Ok overall
