My wife and I stayed at the Lia hotel and loved it. We were here for the S.F. Giant’s game and it was a perfect walk to and from the park. It also is so close to Chinatown, Union Square, and downtown. The front desk manager, Vincent was awesome and we look forward to staying there again.

Value-based, no-frills motel with secure parking with easy walking to downtown San Carlos' Laurel Street with lots of shops and restaurants. Front reception gave me an early check-in when I arrived. I was there one night to visit nearby son. Would consider for return visits due to overall value and convenience.
