Great Value In The Bay Area
by daryld
We stayed here for three nights. We found this hotel to be a great value. It's one of few hotels that has free parking to guests. The onsite restaurant isn't open all the time. We found this a little inconvenient. Free shuttle service makes it easy to play tourist. The office computer with Internet access was always busy. Rooms were nice! Ours had a fridge, coffee maker, hair dryer & microwave. There is no air conditioning but the rooms have ceiling fans.
Pros: Free parking, Free shuttle
Cons: Internet access busy, A little noisy

Not Your Average Lodging
by mstampley_citysearch
The area can be a little shady after dark, but there are plenty of attractions just a quick bus ride away. The pink exterior makes it fairly easy to spot on the road, to say the least. Rooms are a little bit '80s, which is actually refreshing if you're sick of standard wall art and bland interiors.
Pros: funky
Cons: shady area
