"I appreciated the ladies who helped me at check-in (sorry I did not get their names!) they were very helpful and polite. I really loved the room, very comfortable, AC was great, TV included, bathroom was very pretty (good water temp), room was stocked & clean. Excellent condition. I also felt safe in the area, and it was convenient there was a gas station nearby in case I needed anything. Very close to Bay Bridge, great area for trying to see various parts of the Bay. 10/10 :)"
