Life is art!

I so appreciate the efforts to turn this old motel into a place with some charm and style. I appreciated the design of the tile on the floor and the updated bathrooms between the loud heater and the traffic on El Camino, and the train, it was very hard to sleep. it didn't help that the smell in the room was not pleasant. We even used a candle to help improve the odor. I wanted to like it and feel the art vibe mores but it just was a bit of a dump. Sad but true!

Zero f*cks given

Seriously horrible customer service. Had to cancel the morning of our arrival because my boyfriend was very sick with the flu. What can we really do? Not our fault he got seriously ill. They would not let us cancel without penalizing us. The full cost of the room stay.🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕zero mercy!!!!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room was clean except for the lamp shades. It would be nice if the TV allowed you to stream your Netflix or Prime account through it. We stayed there before a procedure at Sutter San Carlos which was very convenient. However even though the front desk person was great and put us in a quiet room, with it being so close to the rail tracks I could hear the trains all night. Not a problem if you live in a city but noisier than where we came from.
