I had a great stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, very close to the airport and near a major shopping area. The rooms were spacious and modern with a convenient kitchenette, but a bit overpriced for what you get. The service was top-notch, with excellent housekeeping and laundry options. The dining experience was superb, especially with the delicious udon. Overall, a fantastic value for money with exceptional facilities.

My stay at the hotel was excellent! The location couldn't have been better, very close to the airport for easy access and also near a major shopping area. The room on the 5th level with a kitchenette was a great plus, but the cold buffet dishes for dining were a bit lacking. The service was top-notch with convenient facilities. The overall value for money was fair, making it a great choice for travelers.

This hotel is located in the center of town, making it convenient for exploring the area. The rooms on the 5th level with a kitchenette provide a nice touch. The service is excellent with options for dry cleaning, housekeeping, and laundry. The hotel is near the shopping center, adding to its value. However, the dining option with Vienna Beef hot dogs may not appeal to everyone.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is superb, surrounded by great shopping areas and conveniently close to the SFO airport. The rooms were lovely, and the dining experience was delightful with seriously yummy Pork Belly. However, the service could have been more attentive, and the facilities were just satisfactory.

The hotel is perfectly situated on the Peninsula near the Bridgepointe shopping center, making it a prime spot for enthusiastic shoppers. The location provides easy access to California and immerses guests in a vibrant shopping environment. However, the dining experience could be improved, offering only basic options. The hotel boasts a convenient kitchenette on the 5th level, adding a touch of homely comfort. The service is remarkable, catering to guests' needs effectively, complemented by various facilities to enhance the stay.

I found this hotel to be conveniently located near the SF airport and a major shopping area. The rooms are spacious and modern with a useful kitchenette, making my stay quite comfortable. The service was efficient, offering dry cleaning and housekeeping services. However, the dining options were just okay, with fresh pastries being a highlight. The facilities were well-maintained and the price was reasonable, providing good value for money overall.
