Property is on El Camino Real in San Bruno a very busy street. Room was adequate but by no means fancy. Parking was difficult & limited. Room card key never worked so had to continually go to office to get card key recharged. Key didn’t work 2 nights in a row very annoying,

From the outside doesn't look like much but inside is pretty great - sparkling clean, frig, and microwave. Very comfortable and surprisingly quiet for its location on a busy street. Highly recommended despite my criticism of the tv. My only problem was a tv set that didn't work. One member of the family got it working again, temporarily; the second person never showed up.

Staff is nice, room was ok but mattress was hard and a_c was dripping water enough that they had a towel laided out under it. Had to get staff to open the door for us because door lock wouldn't read our cards.

Place was decent. Upon arrival everything seemed neat and nice until we had inspected the bathroom, the bathroom itself was nice but it wasn’t until we noticed strange stains on the walls inside of the bathroom, other than that after our stay we started to notice weird little bumps on our skin, we think it could be a case of bedbugs. Overall nice place just a bad visit, staff were nice though.

This place needs some cleaning. As soon as we got in the room I used the bathroom and there's poop in the toilet. Second, the sheets were not properly washed. I guess you get what you paid for. But having a clean toilet and sheets is unacceptable!!!!

It didn't look that fancy from the outside, but the room was very nice. New refrigerator, microwave, TV, mattress. Bathroom was nice, plenty of fluffy pillows, and they provided enough soap along with toothbrushes and toothpaste, and extra cream for the in-room coffee maker. I did enjoy my stay. Very comfortable.

I understand “night check-in” but especially don’t like it when it happens a few feet from a very busy six lane street. At one point the check in gentlemen looked at me directly and holding my credit card said “it’s not valid”. I immediately replied with “yes it is”. He immediately left briefly, returning with a woman who figured it out. He had no comment and especially no apology. Not a good beginning!

Not fancy at all, but simple, everything clean and WiFi works well. Perfect for a 1 (maybe 2) night stay if staying near the airport. Steady muffled noise from vehicles passing by, because close to a main road, but the traffic noise tapers off by 9pm. At the affordable rate I paid for my room. I’m still happy to have found a place so close to SFO.

I booked this hotel because I thought it was close to the airport. Not as close to the airport as I thought- as there used to be no direct way between hotel and airport and once you navigate the freeways and roads it becomes a 3 mile trip. That aside, the room was spacious and clean with a fridge and microwave. Family at reception polite. Reception is closed late at night but when I pressed the night buzzer someone came quickly to check me in. Parking available if you need it. Plenty of good options nearby. Shower and bathroom were good. A good budget hotel.

Needed 1 night near the airport. Price was made me choose this place. They were very helpful to let me check in early. My room was clean and looked like it was redone recently. It had a refrigerator and microwave and the heater worked great. Nice shower with hot water. It worked out great for me. If you plan to stay more than 1 night I would get car since nothing in walking distance.

I enjoyed it, room was very clean and the shower looked fairly new and it was also handy in San Bruno close to airport, IHOP is down the road and a service station is near by if your looking for food options. Overall for the price all I needed and it exceeded my expectations. Counter staff lady was very polite. Give me another room key card after I accidentally left first one inside the room.
