Let me break it down for everyone. This hotel is old, plain and simple, they are just now beginning renovations and it needs it bad! The front driveway is ripped up and that is as far as they have gotten so far. The rooms haven't been touched yet, though they have artist rendering in the lobby and it shows flat screen tv's, etc. The current condition is a very used look. The carpet has walking tracks in it, the furniture shows wear marks, and the bathroom, well it needs help!
The airport shuttle is not as fast as they want you to think because they also serve the park and fly lot next to the hotel ans that adds 5 minutes each direction - funny how they dont tell you they use it for their other business too.
Around the hotel is nothing and I mean nothing! No restaurants, no shopping, not even a gas station. Although, it is on the walking path. You will need a car and it you plan on more than one visit to San Fran this is not the place for you. To get to the BART you have to take their airport shuttle and then the airtrain, then walk and finally on to the BART for a 40 minute ride and costs approx $10.40 round-trip depending on your stop. FYI, BART service stops around 12am so no late night in the city if you want to get back
The fitness center is just as old and worn. The restaurant I didnt patronize because no one else did since it was empty everytime I passed. The bar behind the lobby has a great happy hour, they call it the '3M's' for Margharitas, Mojhitos, and Munchies. They are all two for ones which is a good deal and they many different ones to choose including my new favourite pommegranite mojhitos!
So, in short this hotel is a remote old worn-out place and needs help bad. Maybe, just maybe it wont look like my college dorm. Choose this place with caution you've been warned.
