"The hotel was really close to SFO, but we didn't hear any planes. There was a Keurig machine in our room. Easy check-in and free underground parking. No hot items at breakfast because of Covid, but the coffee was great. Book it.2021-07-04"

"The room was dirty, and the heater didn't work. I went to another hotel. Don't stay here.2022-11-28"
"Easy access to SFO. The hotel room was shabby but clean enough. No utensils in the kitchen. There were coffee pods, but no coffee maker. The surfaces needed to be wiped down. Easy check-in and parking.2022-02-16"
"Nice hotel. It was clean and well-maintained. Definitely stay here; you won't be disappointed.2020-08-01"

"Nice hotel and room, but our floor smelled like marijuana and there was a loud party going on. Between that and the airplane noise, it was a less than pleasant experience.2019-08-10"
"Good location. The hotel was clean. Good choices at breakfast, and there was plenty of seating. I'd stay here again.2019-04-23"
"The hotel and room were by no means upscale. The room was grungy, the furnishings were old, and the check-in clerk didn't look professional. The airport shuttle was supposed to run every 20 minutes, but I waited over 45 minutes before I was picked up. Somehow my luggage ended up being left behind in the street, and after a harrowing drive back, I was luckily able to retrieve it intact. I was not at all happy.2020-02-09"
"The hotel staff was nice and accommodating. Don't expect the Ritz, though.2020-09-20"
"The room was clean. Don't expect much more than that and you won't be disappointed. Check-in was painful, and it took 2 hotel clerks to sort it out. They were nice, though. The computer was down at checkout, so I wasn't able to get a receipt. Minimal breakfast.2016-06-11"
"Nice room. The hotel clerks were fast and efficient. Breakfast was crowded but fine.2022-04-13"
"The hotel was clean but needed better soundproofing; we could hear noise from other rooms, and the slamming doors were loud. The beds and pillows weren't that comfortable, and the water pressure was low. The shower handle wasn't easy to operate, and it took too long for the water to heat up. The employees were professional.2019-08-02"
"The hotel was less than 5 minutes from the airport. There was a Costco nearby, too. The room was nice, clean, and comfortable, and pets were allowed. Breakfast was limited but OK. This place was just right for our needs.2019-06-08"
"An excellent experience. The hotel is ultra convenient to SFO. The beds were superb, and we liked the smart planning features like action-activated dim lights when we got out of bed. We appreciated the foam roller, too. Wonderful breakfast and pub dinner. We'll be back.2022-08-23"

"Great motel, but I wasn't happy about the dog in the breakfast room. Don't stay here.2019-07-26"
"Our suite was modern, attractive, and comfortable, and the beds were nice. There was room to relax or work. Plenty of electrical outlets and USB ports, and there were 2 TVs. The bathroom was immaculate. The motel clerks provided exceptional service, and the breakfast room was excellent. If you need an airport shuttle make a reservation at the front desk the night before; we had to wait 30 minutes for the shuttle to get us from the airport. I highly recommend staying here.2019-05-04"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
