First of all I have stayed in hundreds if not thousands of hotels and for the first time ever there was a rare treat or two with this place which is 2 massage chairs that do an amazing job of relaxing you. Totally unexpected when I booked this place. Like I knew it had a Las Vegas vibe with the rooms slash retro 1960’s which is spot on. Apparently all the rooms are decorated slightly different which is neat. The host was nice and the experience was well worth it instead of staying in any of the monotonous hotels that all have the same feel in the area. Would 200% stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Totally digged the ambiance of the rooms. Loved the retro appliances, massage chair was a nice touch. Our room was not an all amazing grand 5 star hotel, but that's not what we were looking for. We were looking for an affordable, clean, comfortable place to stay for the weekend to attend a nearby wedding and this fit exactly what we needed. If we needed to tend to business in the bay anytime in the future we will definitely return.

Could not possibly recommend more! I don't usually bother with reviews but had such a good experience here I felt compelled to write one. The room was genuinely nice and well decorated with lots of mid- century character. Perfectly clean; all furnishings/ appliances/ fixtures well maintained and in good shape... they even had a massage chair in the room! Check in / out was super easy. Location is quite convenient, a short 10-15 min bus ride (or 25 min walk) from both San Bruno and South SF Bart stations, 15 min drive to SF proper, and about 15-20 min drive from the airport. For the price you'd be hard pressed to find anything close to as good. Easily the best sub-$100 room you will find in the bay area, hands down
