For the price, I expected something like a Motel 6 or Super 8. It falls very short of those standards. The Good: The bed was GREAT. It was springy and had fluffy pillows rather than the squishy flat ones you get at other cheap motels. There are plenty of nearby restaurants and stores The Bad: It was very loud. At... More

i stayed in this hotel on my vacations in San Francisco. I think i made a mistake because is about 40 minutes to downtown SF and is not very easy to go there. The rooms are average for this kind of properties and is clean. The neighbourhood is good an d you can find everything nearby.

The room was clean, there was a microwave, a fridge, and a coffee maker. We had a room with 2 queen beds, and it also included a small table and dining chairs, which was nice. There was also cable TV. The bathroom looked in need of redecoration, but was clean and functional. Breakfast was disappointing - a cup of mediocre... More

Lodging in the Bay Area can be very expensive, and sometimes you still don't get a good night's sleep for your money. While visiting a few days to see family and friends, I was hoping to find a decent place to stay that was convenient to where I needed to go and that would not cost an exorbitant amount of... More

I stay at this hotel often because it is clean and conveniently located to public transportation and restaurants. The management is friendly and the cost is the best bang for my buck. This hotel far surpasses other cheaper hotels in the area. I have recommended this hotel to family and friends because the hotel staff and management are professional and... More

Small breakfast, whirlpool and sauna included; room was decent. Good weekly rate. I'd return... Location was convenient to the Bay Area. Used my earplugs due to train across 4- lane road - would recommend.

I came here because I had a job interview in the area. To be clear this hotel just provides the basics, but it does it very well. The rooms appear quite dated, but they are very clean and the beds are very comfortable. They also provide internet access as well. Finally, the trader joe's across the street was very convenient....

I'm always a bit leary of certain budget motel chains like ABVI, but I stayed here three nights last week and I was very satisfied. Driving into central SF (25 miles) can take nearly an hour during rush hour but for me that was a fair trade-off for such a clean, inexpensive room. (SFO is a 20 minutes drive.) Light... More

We got in almost close to midnight and an Indian guy attended to us. He was not friendly at all. He sounded pissed at being bothered at that time of the night to attend to us. His tone when explaining where our room is was not something one would like to hear after a 12-hour flight. The room is clean... More
