I had to extend my stay in San Francisco by one night and needed somewhere somewhat close to San Francisco State University. I was not in need of more luxurious accomodations, just a bed, bathroom, & a place for my bicycle inside the room.
I chose not to drive to dinner and walked (~1 mile total) instead, right past the Cow Palace! There's not much for food options but Papa Ray's Pizza was my choice. Do not underestimate the driveway's hill when walking or maneuvering your car.
The parking was a bit tight, your car MUST fit inside the space & not impede other guest vehicles or your car could get towed. Regular cars are charged $10 for parking on top of room charge. They have other parking spots for larger vehicles, but mine was immediately outside my room.
Didn't try the "breakfast" since I left at 6:30 am & had a long drive back to L.A.
The place reminded me of a Route 66 motel, but with room updates. Card entry keys, 24 hour front desk, decent plumbing, but kinda small & dark shower stall.
I was not expecting The Ritz & was not disappointed. I would stay there again, but I don't ask for chocolates on the pillow from my hotels.
