Was going to Stanford and needed hotel. This was in a sketchy area hence the lower price. Orig room had been smoked in. Was given a new room but keys didn’t work. 3rd time back to the lobby and keys finally worked. This is a very old hotel. Comfy bed and free breakfast. Bathroom REEKED of mildew. Staff very mid upon checkin. Would I stay again? Prob not.
