My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was convenient, between San Francisco and San Jose, and close to shops and restaurants, but it was not as quiet as expected. The room had a terrible rotting smell, especially of curry food, and was extremely dirty. On the bright side, the staff was helpful and accommodating.

The hotel is conveniently situated between San Francisco and San Jose, close to shops and restaurants, offering easy access to the train for San Francisco. The rooms were clean and well-equipped, but the strong curry smell was off-putting. The service, although prompt, left more to be desired. The location is a plus for its quiet surroundings and proximity to downtown. Dining options nearby are decent, especially for iconic sandwiches.

I stayed at this hotel, located conveniently between San Francisco and San Jose, and found it to be a mixed experience. While the rooms were a bit cramped, they had all the necessary amenities like a TV, microwave, and refrigerator. However, the room had a terrible smell of curry, making it unpleasant to stay in. On the bright side, the location was ideal for accessing shops and restaurants without being noisy. The dining options nearby were marginal, but the facilities at the hotel were decent.

The hotel's location is very convenient, nestled in San Carlos between San Francisco and San Jose. While the rooms were a bit cramped with two queen beds and some extra furniture, they were equipped with essential amenities like a TV, microwave, and refrigerator. However, the rooms had a strong musky smell reminiscent of wet shampooed carpets and curry food. On the upside, the hotel's proximity to shops and restaurants and easy access to transportation options make it a decent choice for travelers exploring the Bay Area.

The room was quite cramped and had two queen beds squeezed in, along with a TV, microwave, and refrigerator, but unfortunately, it was really dirty. However, extra chairs I requested seemed to have been given to someone else. The hotel's location in San Carlos between San Francisco and San Jose is convenient for accessing the train to San Francisco and not far from the San Francisco airport. It's a quiet area close to shops and restaurants, offering a good value compared to the higher prices in nearby cities. Dining options nearby, like Vic's Family Restaurant on San Carlos Avenue, are marginal, although they do serve homemade yogurt.
