Adequate but nothing really to write home about.
Cons:

I was very disappointed that there was a $10 charge for parking each night. It just seems like you are nickel and diming people to death.And when I mentioned this to the front desk clerk, she said that this hotel was by far the cheapest of any of the hotels in foster city, which I find very hard to believe. I don't recall seeing a charge on any of the bills that i've had.In the last 2-3 years at any of your local competition?So I think if it were up to me, I would get rid of that charge.Immediately, you're not really providing any service for it either other than guarding, to make sure somebody doesn't break into our cars.

We won't be staying with you any more, after that miserable experience.
Pros:

The breakfast was very good as were the choices available.

Cons:

The TV experience was the poorest I have ever experienced in any hotel. We wanted some soft music, but none was accessible. You offer a TV, but then deny its use.

Daha iyi yerler tercih edilebilir.
Pros:

Temiz ve yeni olması.

Kahvaltı yok ve otopark ücreti almaları böyle tenha bir yerde anlamsız geldi.
