Pros (+) Swimming pool.
Cons (-) WiFi was inconsistent, price was way too much. "Breakfast" was served in a small room with a couch. If you are in the bay area, maybe check out another city to stay in, the owner said all hotels/motels in the city go for over 200$.
Pros (+) No wifi connection Old / dirty furnitures Poor breakfast
Pros (+) Clean, fast WiFi, nice art print on the wall. Adequate parking, and of course a low price in a costly area.
Cons (-) Lumpy bed, loud and not very effective AC, laughable breakfast, bit of a sketchy vibe if you're the sort to spook easily. Slow front desk everything.
