This is a smaller, quaint Holiday Inn Express with the same amenities as others including free breakfast, a smaller 24 hr gym, and there is access to a garden patio w gazebo during the day next to the ground parking lot. We booked 2 rooms w 2 queen beds, comfortable and clean rooms, and they accommodated us with a free crib. The rooms have the older ac wall unit, so it was a bit stuffy and hot at first but eventually cooled down. The bathroom was clean with Dove body/shampoo products. Overall, a nice, quick stay in the South Bay for 2 families with small children. The only complaint is there was a bit of a strong chemical smell in the lobby, maybe the brand of cleaning product they use, but otherwise no other issues.

The elevator for a 2 floor property was very slow...it took anywhere from 60s to 120s to show up in each floor and would take full 15s to close :-)

I liked the fact that it is located relatively close to downtown (Castro Street. I disliked the fact that the room safe was broken and the hotel could not find a maintenance person to fix it. I had to move into another room in a rush before I had to go out and mit somebody that morning such that the room could be made ready for another client.

Easy check in. Covered parking in a location only for guests was very nice. Elevator very slow. Excellent breakfast, scrambled eggs and crispy bacon were very good; also had cereal, cinamon rolls, pancakes (too slow), bagels, toast, biscuits and gravy, fruit and drinks. Rooms werent very soundproof, you could hear everybody in the hallway, no matter where they were, very clearly. I'd stay again any time. Nothing was bad.
