"Staff was super pleasant and helpful. I ended up getting a room with a king bed instead of two queens, but our third person didn’t come along so it worked out. And because of the mixup they didn’t charge me for the parking fees. Overall will definitely use that Hotel again. Price was great as well. Only $116 and it was 15 minutes away from the Levi’s Stadium where we went to see Usher and Chris Brown."
