Good value for Money with city access by BART
Enjoyed the stay. 15 min Walking distance to BART in city. Breakfast was super tasty. Staff very friendly with lots of good local advice. Parking was easy and free. So glad we decided to stay here and not in the city. Renovations ongoing but it was fine, we were out during the day. Rooms clean and equipped well.
