8/10 Good
"The staff were excellent and so kind! They did a lot to make our anniversary stay special. The only downside was room 714 had a very odd smell, it almost smelled of sewage. Each time we walked into our room we would mention how gross it smelled. Not exactly romantic lol… overall the entire room was very clean along with the entire property. Beautiful decor and I’d stay again. I really just wished the room didn’t smell funky. Tried turning on the AC to maybe get the air flowing but that was set to auto and couldn’t seem to trigger it to start. Oh and we really loved the coffee and tea in the mornings! Tratto, the restaurant on the lobby floor is great and has a good happy hour."

The freeway is only a mile away to head to wine country, Oakland, San Fran or San Jose. I will stay here next trip to the Bay Area!"
