Why Concert-goers love it

If you're headed to a show in San Francisco, San Jose, or nearby Redwood City, this hotel offers a peaceful place to land after the encore. Late check-out at 12:00 PM gives you time to sleep in, and the location near major highways and public transport makes getting to and from venues easy. While not in a nightlife-heavy area, it’s perfect for those looking to unwind after a high-energy night out.

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full-service restaurant on-site, guests enjoy a free continental breakfast with hot and cold options—perfect after a late night.

Redwood City’s buzzing food scene is a quick ride away.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a nightlife hub, but that’s part of the charm. If you’re looking for low-key recovery rather than afterparties, this place has you covered. For drinks or dancing, nearby towns like Redwood City and Palo Alto offer plenty of options just a short drive or ride-share away.
