"The room was mostly clean, though the lamp in the sitting area was dusty. Bathroom was spacious and very clean. Bed was soft and very nice. Lying down I could see the hills, pretty, but BART was right below the window. I could see it standing up and hear it when I was trying to sleep. The breakfast and happy hour were standard. Staff friendly and helpful."
