10/10 Excellent
"Very nice and reasonably priced hotel just south of SFO. They had a good breakfast which varied a bit daily. The gym was perfect with a good handful of machines. The rooms were very clean but just starting to show their age . Breakfast and parking were both included. There is a shuttle availab, but I did not utilize it"
