A typical American hotel, but a little strange
Pros:

Room had a nice view of San Francisco, and the bed was comfy.

Cons:

Room was ... oddly laid out — absolutely massive bathroom (with no fan) but the door swing made the already narrow entryway into the room very cramped. Bed was also weirdly close to the wall, so 2 people in here would feel tight even though apart from that the room was of a good size?

Pros:

Spacious, clean, comfortable room. There’s a super cute shopping area across the street, and a movie theater, with lots of restaurants. It’s our new go to hotel for visiting our daughter at Cal. Highly recommend and will be back.

Bed bugs
Pros:

We stayed for v
10 days and each morning woke with the itchiest bed bites, confirmed as such by physician, Mike the manager refused to acknowledge the problem, and refused us a refund. Area was creepy and will never ever ever go back. Please note, we are Sonesta gold star magnets from boston, but this hotel should be stripped of its name

I would book a stay here again, if I was in the area.
Pros:

Great staff, all very personable. Fantastic location! Mall with movie theaters across the street. Trader Joe's right next store in another shopping center. Easy walk to the train station was a plus. I would stay here again.

Cons:

Well, I had a bay view room, but mine was only on the 4th floor, I would have preferred one further up, but such a very small complaint.
