Very good

Our stay was okay. The parking is horrible. The place is very quirky. Our room was clean except the bathroom walls and door were filthy. The vanity light would not stay on. The shower curtain is wonky, so water goes into the floor. The beds weren’t very comfortable. Our stay was below average, hence the two stars. But the worker was very nice. Water pressure in the shower was great. At first glance, the room looks pretty nice. There were no bed bugs! That’s a huge plus. I probably wouldn’t stay here again to be honest. I’d spend a little more to stay somewhere a little nicer.
I was in the Bay for a week-long business trip and Discovery Inn fit my needs. It was a clean, secure place to sleep and shower, friendly and attentive staff. I didn't spend much more time than getting sleep and staying clean but I was happy with it. The microwave and small fridge were helpful as well. They reached out very shortly after my checkout that I had left a personal item behind. Because they were so prompt, I wasn't far away and was able to quickly double back and pick up my belongings. Thanks!
I booked for 2 nights, had to suffer the terrible ac for both of them. It's july, it's cali, kinda need AC!!!! Also parking is a horror show, if u have a car stay anywhere but here
