SELF-SERVICE, BASIC HOTEL Room 203. This was my 1st time staying in a self-service hotel. A very efficient way to run things. Fortunately, no issues, except figuring out how to 'wake' the door lock took a quick text message to hotel staff. BASIC OF BASICS-super tiny room, which was fine just to sleep & shower for 1 person. TV, mini-fridge, tiny desk and chair. My only semi-complaint was the AC unit, which kept the room humid, but since I just slept & showered, no biggie. The hotel is within walking distance to several restaurants, a couple of grocery stores, coffee shops and stores. Nearby is a pedestrian-friendly entertainment area. I felt safe walking around at night, alone. PARKING - there's a small, paid, lot near the back of the hotel. It stays packed. I parked for free at the Jury court government public lot. Safe and secure, but a 5-7 minute walk. COMMON-AREA - microwave, sit in area (your hotel room is too small to enjoy a meal) and complimentary tea/coffee supplies. OVERALL - basic, budget, clean. Ibwould stay here again if in the area. read more

Honestly I probably wouldn't have rated them at all if they would have handled the situation better. I got there and my room was on the second floor. I can't really do stairs right now and nowhere on their website is it obvious that they don't have an elevator. I don't need an accessible room but you assume ADA compliance in 2026 in a major tech city. Okay whatever. I get to the room it's boiling hot. The air conditioning is blowing hot air even though it set at 67. I figure it must not be on or maybe I wasn't in the room and it's one of those motion sensing types. So I said it a little bit lower and wait. I'm tired so I end up going to sleep and I sweat all night and don't sleep well. It didn't help that the so-called blackout blinds didn't block a damn thing and my room was light enough to read by. Oh yeah, icing on the temperature, the fan in the room wouldn't even turn on. It made noise but wouldn't spin. The mattress being apparently made of solid wood was also less than desirable. I stay in hotels for a living. 200 hotels last year. This was the worst bed of all of them. I wake up the next morning and the shower is barely a trickle. I get dressed and I pack my things because I'm not going to stay for another night. I reach out to customer service in 2 hours later they hadn't responded. Down in the lobby I run into a woman who said she was the property manager and that they were working on the air conditioning and that it was PG&e's fault. The.air conditioning has power. It had an error fault that if you looked it up it said it was the filter being blocked which means they probably never clean it. But she's promised me it be fixed by that night so please don't check out early, give us a chance to make it right. So I said okay. And I went about my day. I came home in the evening and the room was again boiling and the air conditioning was still not working. They had put a new fan in the room and it was running but it wasn't enough to get the room cool at all. So I let them know I was checking out and I was going to go stay at another hotel They refunded me less than a third of the fee. The reason? Because I checked out so late. The only reason I didn't check out early in the morning was because they told me to stay and promised to make it acceptable. So they manipulated me into staying an extra 10 hours so that they can reduce how much they refunded me by because they never had any intention of fixing that air conditioning. It was all a lie and a manipulation to get a little bit extra money. I can handle things breaking or things not being ideal. I will not handle corporations that are dishonest and manipulative. They knew I planned on leaving with plenty of time for them to give me a refund for the entire night. But they were dishonest. You don't want to stay at a hotel where the management is dishonest. Stay somewhere else. read more

This a nice place but very bare bones. Felt like a life demotion. Wasn't for me. Probably good for one night for a concert or emergency stop. read more

Convenient, Clean, and Great for a Night Out in Redwood City We stayed at Kasa Niche for one night while seeing a show at Club Fox, and it totally hit the mark. Location-wise, it's fantastic--right downtown, just steps from bars, restaurants, and the theater. It's perfect if you want to go out, have some fun, and not deal with driving afterward. Check-in was done via keypad, and while it took a minute to figure out, Kasa sent super helpful messages every step of the way. I really liked the self check-in concept, and the communication made it feel smooth and supported. There was a staff member on site that night, which was a nice touch--even though we didn't see them, it was comforting to know they were around. Our room was clean and stocked with thoughtful amenities: snacks, water bottles, a welcome note, a coffee maker, fridge, and even a sound machine and earplugs (which came in handy--being right above the front entrance, we could hear people outside on the sidewalk). Also worth noting: the curtains weren't blackout, so the room wasn't super dark in the morning. Light sleepers might want to check if any rooms have darker shades. The bed was firm, not our usual preference, but fine for a short stay. Housekeeping did a fantastic job--everything felt fresh and spotless. Parking isn't on-site, but there's public metered parking nearby and a small loading zone out front to drop off your bags. Would definitely stay here again for a night out in Redwood City. It's a clean, modern, and well-thought-out space in a great location. read more

If you need to stay close to the hospital & want a cheap no frills place this is it. Walking distance of shops & hospital. Noise does travel but they are smart enough to provide some ear plugs & masks to help you grab your zzz's read more

cancelled a stay a good half month out, and they're refusing to refund. total B/S. I suspect this is not a legit place to stay so spend your money elsewhere....they claimed it was selected as nonrefundable, which i wouldn't do cause i was never sure i would actually stay here. And after seeing just how tiny the rooms are, i knew i didn't want to stay. you need breathing room. TRUST me, these people are not legit, go elsewhere. read more

This was the cheapest room that I could find in the area and it had everything I needed. It was pretty small with no frills but everything was recently built/renovated and very comfortable. The check in and check out processes were super easy. I kept my car in the lot behind the building that only charges $1/hr from 8am-8pm. It looked like there was a lot do to during the day and nightlife around the neighborhood but the building was very quiet. I also brought my dog with me and he seemed comfortable with me in the room. My only complaints would concern the low water pressure in the shower and a lack of outlets in the room so bring a power strip. I will definitely look into this hotel again for my next trip to Redwood City. read more

A beautiful and clean hotel that feels like home away from home. The staff are incredibly friendly and thoughtful, ensuring their guests (both people & fur babies) are well taken care of and loved. The amenities are top-notch and they provide on-site laundry for their guests. A lively location with lots to do, people to meet, and of course fine dining. (Pro tip: El grullense is right around the corner where they serve some of the best Mexican food around. Plus, they're open late ;) The Niche hotel creates a great sense of community. I enjoyed my stay here and look forward to my next Kasa location stay 10/10 recommend. read more

Clean tiny room but when I walked in the people next to me were having super loud sex and I could hear everything. I am here on business I didn't sign up to be at a prostitute hotel. Also the tv isn't working. I have texted and called the hotel with no response. I won't be back. read more

The hotel is clean and the decor appropriate. The pre check in is good but no real person on site to assist anything,! BEWARE. They want you to take photos of your ID and your face s video in order to check in. I was on the phone with their customer service. After half hour I finally get into the lobby. Finally someone showed up it took another half hour. I had to be on their phone to take video. This person doesn't speak English, another lady who I thought might be the owner, she used foreign language to instruct that person the whole time. The entire check in process was horrendous. read more

After traveling the whole day, this would have been a nice place to keep staying at. It's clean & small which makes it feel cozy. My daughter and I travel every 3 weeks or so for an allergy program about 5 min away from the place. So it's really a convenient, great price to stay at. However!!! I ran into the manager, complimenting her about the place, was friendly. I asked if we could stay an extra 2 hours since check out is at 11 and my daughter's appt was at 1:45pm. She said she would hold our stuff and keep it safe if we would like, that way we didn't have to leave our bags in the car. My bag has no lock since it's a hand carry bag & she seemed trustworthy and friendly. She said when I'm ready to text her at her direct line. When we came back after my appt, to pick up the bag, she responded right away and handed me my bag. When I got to the airport and packed a few more things, I found a random key inside my luggage. I've had my luggage the whole time with me, it's new and I've never the key in my life! So I asked her the next morning if it was her key. And as you can see through our messages, she says yes but after I tell her I found it in my bag, she claims it's not her key and thought it was. As a manager, not recognizing your key seems a bit odd. She says she has the main key. Told her it's a copy of a key. Anyways, long story short, I would not leaving any belongings!! Someone can be going through it while you're gone!! Do not leave your stuff!! ***UPDATE: when upper management investigated the incident, she claimed it's the same key she gave the plumber leading to confusion. Umm.. that's a unique key. I'll also include a pic of my bag. I found the key at the bottom section of my luggage so there's no way a key "accidentally fell" into my bag. read more

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. The self check-in does not work. I knocked nothing. I tried to get get in touch with a real live person. No help. I ended up having to SLEEP IN MY CAR. I don't even know what else to say. read more

SUPER NOISY. Thin walls and windows. Good luck sleeping! If you don't care about noise, then it's great - clean, convenient, everything you need. But I did not sleep a wink. I thought it was new construction but seriously, I doubt walls/floors this thin could be up to code. Btw, I was on the top floor and could hear people below me and every bit of street noise. If a cat walked by I would've heard it. So bad. read more

The worst place to stay. No one at the front desk your safetyis at risk plus if you have loud guest in the lobby who is going to ask them to keep it down and voices travel in the lobby. The beds are hard as a brick. Customer services sucks read more

I'm staying at the Kasa Niche Hotel here in Redwood City for work, and I have nothing but positive things to say so far. I didn't choose my hotel, my company did, but I am super pleased with it! It's a virtual front desk check in, so everything is done from your phone before you get there. I wasn't sure how it would work, but it ended up being super easy! Right before check in time I was sent a code for the front door and a code for my room. I had no trouble getting in, the common area was modern, clean and well lit. It reminded me of a nice apartment complex-- each room had a touch screen key pad to type in your code. I found my room easily and my code worked. There is no elevator, so if you're in a second story room it is stairs only (no luggage carts). My room was modern, well lit, clean and stocked with some waters. I was seriously so impressed with how nice everything was. The room is small with a king bed and small desk, but it's perfect for a work trip. It had a fridge, a large tv, and was stocked with an alarm clock/sound machine/iron in the drawers. The bathroom was clean, modern and had a cool light up mirror. There is a staff member who is usually around cleaning/tidying who is super friendly, she asked if I needed any help getting in and made sure I got into my room when I was fumbling my room code one day. It was very quiet at night and I didn't hear anyone in nearby rooms. Overall extremely impressed and I'd definitely stay here again if ever in the area! read more

Niche Hotel - King Bed Room - Hotels Near Me - Redwood City, California

Extremely sketchy do not book here! I recently had the misfortune of finding the Kasa Niche through my credit card. From what I saw online it looked like a great deal for a new hotel in a convenient location. I needed a last minute place to stay for work and it seemed like a perfect fit. Everything fell apart when I arrived there. Right off the bat, no parking, your only option is a pay by the hour lot or metered street parking. Once I get inside it's a run down, dingy, smelly motel that just got a fresh coat of paint. This is where things really start to fall apart. No one works here. Not exaggerating, there are no staff. Where you would expect the front desk to be are instead some posters instructing you to "check in online". The website is confusing and very clunky. They want you to do a full scan of your face which I am not at all comfortable with, then submit all of your credit card information through a website. I do all of this in a hurry despite my hesitation because I'm worried about getting to work on time. Then I run into another issue. They changed my dates. Somehow my stay has been pushed back to January 2024. The only option I can find is to call a 1800 number. They refuse to help at all and tell me all I can do is book another stay on the website. They won't fix the problem or help in any way. The website won't let me book for that day so I'm unable to get a room at all. I ended up having to find a room at a completely different hotel and run there, barely making it to work in time. After all this I try to talk to my credit card company about what happened. I simply want to be refunded for the stay that I wasn't able to use. The customer service rep is horrified at the story and attempts to get a refund on my behalf. She eventually comes back to the call and tells me that in 20 years she's never encountered a place like this and they're refusing to refund me despite it being the hotels error and them having months before the newly scheduled dates. All I'm left with is warning you. This place is beyond sketchy, don't let the cheap rates and doctored photos fool you. Steer clear and don't get screwed like I did. read more

If you're looking to get away for a night or two and you're seeking budget accommodations or not, then "The Euro Hotel" in beautiful downtown 'up-and-coming' Redwood City is the perfect get away and excellent choice for you. Practical for the average business person and appropriate for everyone else. My check-in experience with front desk specialist, Manav, was not only fast and easy but professional. Needless to say the staff ,including housekeeping, is On Point! Located in the heart of modern Redwood City, as a guest here you are practically next door to a plethora of amenities. Food, convenience stores, clothing and entertainment. I will definitely choose "The Euro Hotel" next time. read more

Nicely remodeled; who knew it has been a rooming house, etc., in the distant past. Convenient to numerous restaurants on Broadway, many very inexpensive, some rather posh. Very convenient to Caltrain, the library, shopping. Did I mention INEXPENSIVE? I took a room with shared baths, and it was just fine. Numerous M, F and multi-gender toilets and excellent showers: all superbly CLEAN. Puts the "Euro" into their name, y'all experienced urban trekkies. Professional and courtious staff handled complexities with aplomb. Why pay more for a less central location? read more

Stayed here for work, and I was pleased with it. Easy check-in, easy parking, and helpful on-site staff during the day. I didn't really like the airplay feature on the TV because it would stop working sometimes, but other than that it was a chill time. read more

We had a terrible experience with the customer service at this hotel chain. Full disclosure, we booked a non-refundable room. We had planned on driving to the hotel (6 hour drive), but because of heavy snowfall and rain in Southern California, all the roads were closed and there was a travel advisory letting people know that the driving conditions were very dangerous and only essential travel was allowed. I looked at flights, but they were prohibitively expensive. I let the hotel know that we weren't going to be able to drive up and asked for a refund or a credit for a future stay. They would not budge off of their "non-refundable" policy. I contacted the booking company and my credit card company for help. Neither could convince the hotel to make an exception because of the extreme conditions and danger to us if we had tried to make the drive. The hotel kept ALL of our money for the 3 night stay! And, I just heard that those roads have collapsed because of the heavy snow and rain and are closed again for repairs which may take several months. If customer service is important to you, do not book at this chain. read more

If you're on a budget, nothing beats this place. It has a couple of hostel like rooms with shared bathrooms, and some private rooms. I stayed in one of their private rooms for two nights/three days, and had a pleasant stay in all. The location is pretty awesome, right on Main street in Downtown Redwood City. So, you're spoiled with restaurant choices, coffee shops, etc. But, that also means that parking can be tricky. The hotel does not have its own parking lot, so you have to rely on street parking. There is a big public parking lot right behind the hotel, but it tends to be full most of the time, except after 7pm/ 8pm. If you do happen to find a spot, parking is pretty cheap - $1 per hour from 10am - 6 pm. Thankfully, I was out for a good part of the day and did not have too much of a problem with parking. The hotel itself is nice, clean, and inviting inside. Fast checkin and checkout, free starbucks coffee, hot chocolate and tazo tea in the lobby - pretty neat. All these pros help you overlook some of the problems with the room itself. You get a tiny tiny room, I believe it's only about 150 square feet. Actually, you'll be surprised at how much they've managed to fit into a 150 sq. feet apartment - a twin bed, working desk and chair, full length mirrors,a mini fridge and microwave. The private bathroom is proportionally much big compared to the room, and pretty nice except for low water pressure. The room is clearly dated, a little damp, and has almost no natural light entering it at any point of the day. The bed is the worst part of the stay. It will give you a backache, and was full of scratches. The room also needs a coat of fresh paint. But probably, I should not complain given the price and the other pros. In fact, I would be staying again if on a budget. read more

Torturously noisy. Why this two story hotel which has street noise on two sides of it - did not think to install sound proof windows is beyond my comprehension. Especially on weeknights as its a commercial area with early morning trash and construction. Not to mention the blinds that block very little light. I am ok with the self check in and AI chat that pretends to be service. But I am not ok with not being able to make simple request - like which side of the hotel you want to be on, even after multiple stays. Or getting offers like a late check out that are really just a solicitation for more $$. I also feel unsafe when sketchy folks come home noisy and late and there is zero security. What good are rules if there is no way to enforce them? Then the pricing is all over the map. I just checked it on a Tuesday and it was $411 - a better hotel three blocks away was $159. A four star luxery hotels 2 miles starts at $200. I guess this is that type of "dynamic pricing" that says if they only have one room left they are gonna try to put the screws to you. I stay here about once a month or less - on weekends which are cheaper but would stay much more often if it was not for all the above issues. The main reason I stay their is the location is close to where I work. read more

Was a LITTLE apprehensive with the thought of having to leave my room to shower and use the restroom. But I do this at home. There were 3 people that "made my day(s)". Do not know any of their names. 1. Gentleman that turned out to be the manager. Very friendly and helpful. Gave a quick tour before I even checked in. 2. Lady working graveyard shift when I was there, Tuesday and Wednesday night. Also very friendly and helpful. Always had a smile on her face. Great attitude. But did not live around there. Will expand on that later. 3. Morning shift gentleman. Also friendly. And he recommended Alana's. Very good choice. About not living around there, she couldn't really recommend any place, which I was very glad she didn't. Recommendation: have a book, if you don't already, that recommends place to eat at, places to go, things to do, etc. Made up from employees and customers. Just a thought. read more

Worst hotel I've stayed in for a decade! I arrived at 11:30 PM to check in (advised them ahead of time) and asked for a quiet room. This hotel apparently has "shared" bathrooms for some of their rooms and I was put directly across the hall from two communal bathrooms which sounded like they had the pressurized flushing mechanisms on the toilets (extremely loud). I would note that the rooms were soundproofed poorly and my door had a 2 inch gap under it which let in light and noise from the hallway. The bathroom doors also seemed to automatically slam shut when closed. I could hear everyone walking up and down the corridor all night long. In short, it was a very interrupted night. Several times an hour, the bathrooms seemed to be in use and I was awakened each time. At about 2 AM, someone puked his guts out and I could hear every detail. I think I was awakened at least 10 times throughout the night. Regarding the room itself, the overhead light didn't work from the wall switch. I looked for a bedside light to turn on - too bad, no bedside lights at all. I stumbled carefully across a dark room until I got to the bathroom which, thankfully, had a light. The room was stuffy so I turned on the fan which wobbled and hummed noisily. I was pleased to see in the AM that they did supply shampoo and soap in the bathroom. I would note there was no breakfast, no coffee machine in the room. I think they had coffee downstairs. I checked out in the AM instead of staying several more days. The front desk clerk told me that I should have told them about the room during the night and they would have given me a different room. If it had been 9 PM, I would have switched rooms. But at 2 in the morning, the thought of getting dressed, packing up everything, and moving to a different room further down the same hallway didn't seem very enticing. I asked to speak to the manager about the room and perhaps getting an adjustment on the bill. The manager wasn't in but "would call me that afternoon". He never called. The next AM, I left another message and was told he would call me. He didn't call that day either. Finally, I called a third morning and the manager finally got back to me only to tell me he couldn't do anything about the bill without calling the "owner". Late in the day, he called back and was very happy to report the owner would like to give me $20 off my $160 bill. I told him to keep his $20 and said I would rather write an honest review of the hotel. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. read more

What a shady place. While it's in a nice location with nearby shops, restaurants and bars, it can get pretty dangerous to walk around in the area at night. We booked a room for three nights online via hotwire for a wedding down in the South Bay. The doors are actually locked after 9pm so if you check in after that time, you get locked out if the manager isn't in the area. There's a musty smell in the small hallway, somewhat similar to the smell you encounter when you enter a bikram yoga studio. The room is pretty small but nice with a microwave, desk, free wifi and a fridge. For the price you pay, it's definitely not a bad place to stay. However... When we came back in the afternoon after our second day, our hotel cards were deactivated and we were unable to enter into the hallway. We called on the manager and apparently, we were only registered for 2 nights instead of three. The manager wouldn't let us in unless we paid for an extra night, so we conceded. When we finally entered into our room (which by the way, was not even made) we showed him our confirmation papers stating that it really was for three nights and asked for our refund. The manager refused and told us to call hotwire for the mix up. So we decided to call hotwire and the representative was friendly enough to try and settle the dispute. Even when the representative contacted the hotel manager, he STILL did not offer a refund for the extra night that we paid. Luckily, hotwire was the one who offered us the refund but the hotel still managed to get away with that extra $80. So. If you happen to book with an online agency with this hotel, be sure to confirm the amount of days that you stay at this place or else they'll swindle your money out of you. Also, I'm pretty sure there were also bedbugs because I got a couple of bug bites upon waking up after one night. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! read more

The girl up top rating 5 stars either works for this shithole, or is related to someone who does. This place is absolutely horrible. The first thing I thought when I entered my room was "This would be a good room if I wanted to slam some heroin and pass out in a puddle of my own vomit". First of all, the room I was given did not have a bathroom. There are shared bathrooms in the hallway. I have never heard of such a thing, but then again, I've never stayed in an eastern European hostel either. I imagine the conditions are similar. I was initially booked to stay here for 2 weeks on business. I was out after the first night. The walls are thin, the storage is horrible, the beds are murphy beds, and the room smelled of piss and air freshener. In hindsight I should have left immediately and booked a room at motel 6. DONT DO IT. read more

I am not going to dispute this place is a good deal, at $40 a night how can you go wrong. But all this gushing about the place by the other reviewers a bit over the top or things have gone downhill very fast. I stayed for four days. Lucky for me I was busy all day long and only came in to sleep and I can sleep through earthquakes. WARNING: Light sleepers beware. First, the place is a little beat up and while the rooms are clean the common areas are kind of filthy. Trash cans in the hallways fill up fast and seem to linger Why, because it is so inexpensive a lot of people live there semi-permanent. So it has the look and feel of a shelter. People loiter around the hallways and outside to smoke. It seems some single mothers and alcoholics live there and the place smells of dirty diapers. Children are up late crying into the night, TV sets blaring loudly all hours and the smell of alcohol is very prevalent. My first night the Internet did not work so they moved me to the front of the hotel to use their wireless connection which was slow as molasses. However, I did finally patch into this rooms network connection and got a circuit, but it too was rather slow. Perhaps the entire hotel shares a single DSL circuit, so you get a very narrow slice of bandwidth at best. Busy business people who check email and have a lot of Internet work to do every day will be inconvenienced. My room was just above building's designated smoking area on the sidewalk. So most of the time I was privy to semi-inebriated folks smoking and talking loudly from 4AM to Midnight with a continuous stream of smoke coming in through the windows, open or closed. I don't know why they even bother to keep the rooms non-smoking. The walls are paper thin and you can hear everything in the surrounding rooms. It was very loud all the time. Beyond towels, bedding and a few toiletries there is absolutely nothing else. I mean not even plastic cup or a pen to write with (and the front desk did not have one either). I even had to get a chair from the hallway because my room did not have one. The vending machine was half empty the entire week, there was no coffee in the morning that I saw. The manager was never there it seemed. The lobby area reminded me of the scene in the movie Beetlejuice where in the darkness strange odd people hung out on the couch waiting for their number to be called. The only reason this place can be called a hotel and not an apartment is because technically everyone must check out after 28 days. They pay a small storage fee to keep the stuff in the room and the check right back in again. The entire place is kind of like an SRO. Parking is an issue too, most of the time you must park in the back of the place in a City Parking area that is full in the evenings and daytimes. Because of all the clubs, theaters and restaurants it is a very busy area. All that said, it is relatively clean. The location is right in the heart of old town Redwood City with many clubs and restaurants nearby. So that is one positive. But the negatives far outweigh the positives to consider this place a serious destination for a business traveler on a budget. I will not come back here. Even at $40 a night. read more

I ran out of gas at a winery and when I went back with gas for the car the winery gates were closed. It was a long day and I needed some place budget friendly to stay.

I did not know that this hotel wanted to charge my card for $150 security deposit on top of $70 rate. I only had $100 available on my card when I booked the room. Which left me an available balance of $30 when I got there. I arrived there at 11pm on a Sunday night. Can you imagine if I showed up alone and no where to stay for the night? Thank God my girlfriend was with me. We were able to charge the $150 deposit on her card. I asked the attendant if there were any 24hr places to eat nearby and he did not know. I didn't know my room had no bathroom in it. We had to share a common bathroom down the hall. Please make this information more obvious on your website. read more

So ONE of the front desk staff is nice. Absolutely everything else about this place sucks! I wanted to like it, it's less expensive than everything else nearby... but I just can't do it. The suckiness is just too strong. This is more like staying is a homeless shelter than a hotel. Or maybe a prison (if prisons had Murphy beds) anyway, it's too late for me, they already have my credit card number, but SAVE YOURSELVES! RUN AWAY! Spend the night in your car... Sleep under a park bench... Get thrown in jail overnight... anything and anyplace else but here read more

I have stayed here numerous times (5+) and I can honestly say this is one of my favorite places to stay, for the: - Affordability ($40-$50something depending on what room you want) - Cleanliness (& I don't just mean 'tidy'. they wash their blankets and bathrooms) - Vintage charm - Silence! Seriously it's really quiet here. The staff here is incredibly friendly. You get in's & out privileges 24/7 because they give you your own key-card. Meaning you don't have to worry about being greeted at the door by management wearing socks, a robe & bed-hair! La Vic's is right across the street and open real late. The price for how well maintained this place is - well, amazing. I've stayed at many hotels when I used to travel with my ex, and very few places were both inexpensive and clean. This is one of those places, where you wake up in the morning and shower because you enjoy it, & not feel like you have to furiously scrub your body. It's close to everything downtown, with Cal-train only 2 minutes away (opposite side of the block). The rooms are small, but for me this only adds to the charm of the whole experience. ALSO: The place looks much better than the pictures that are posted. Seriously, what is that - a craigslisting? read more

Most of the low ratings here are because of inaccurate expectations. This is one of those places where you get exactly what you pay for. In this case, you pay for a bed. I stayed here for a few days while waiting for my apartment lease to begin. This was a cheap, conveniently located spot. I chose a room with a shared bathroom; you can get a private bathroom for a little extra money. The room was pretty no-frills: tidy, but not spotless. Sink, small fridge, beaten-up old microwave. Clean sheets and mirrors, but some stains on the carpet and walls. No evidence of bedbugs. The bathrooms were in OK shape, but you're going to want to bring your flip flops. Wi-Fi's a little spotty, but usable. No complaints about the service. I showed up a couple of hours before my scheduled check-in time; they stored my bag in a secure room and recommended a cafe nearby to get some food and coffee while I waited. read more

This isn't that bad of a place. I ended up here because I was in between homes and they promised a DSL connection. They delivered. The room was tight but it had a Murphy style bed that folded up into the wall for more daytime space. They also supplied a mini frig, microwave and had decent muffins, cereal, coffee, tea and such in the a.m. front room for free. The bathrooms were in the hallway but private after you closed & locked the door. The size of the place and lack of windows sort of made it feel like being on some kind of space station but I never was hassled by anyone. There was a small market, bar and a few restaurants down the street. Amazingly I did NOT encounter any bed bug issue and I stayed here for almost a month. It's maybe 6-blocks MAX to Caltrain. If anyone was up all night smoking crack or crank they sure WERE QUIET about it. I saw plenty of that in North Beach & the Tendernob so I am not a dumb ass about this shit. Everyone on trip advisor whines unless they are in an expensive Marriott even if they actually stayed at a Motel 6 or here. They all think they deserve the Marriott or Westin or something worth more then 39 stinkin' bucks a night. No problems. Found a room to rent back in SF. read more

We stayed at this nice charming hotel with restaurants and supermarkets within walking distance. Also it's near the Cal Train station for those who don't drive. But the real gem of this hotel is the front desk gentleman Sasha who made us feel safe and very welcoming as we arrived in the middle of the night. Definitely will be booking again! read more

The guy below me who said this place feels like a jail cell is being dramatic. Yes the room isn't the biggest but it really doesn't bother me because I'm not expecting much for $100 a night in San Francisco. I also had seen a review saying there were bed bugs, well I've been here two nights and I'm bite free.I'm using the hotel's wi-fi as I type this, I have to say it's really fast Internet which surprised me.One big draw back is the entire first floor is sharing a hallway bathroom and shower. Luckily theres a cleaning crew that comes every morning that keeps the bathrooms clean. The continental breakfast consists of juice and coffee, that's it..... luckily there's a lot of places to eat breakfast in the area. The cal-train (a high speed train) is a mile from the hotel which will take you all the way to downtown San Francisco in 40 minutes for $5. The last thing I want to bring up which annoyed me but I didn't let it ruin my trip is the rude front desk. I met three different front desk clerks and only one was tolerable. I get it, you're sick of your job but don't take it out on the people who are spending hundreds of dollars to stay there. read more

My friend stayed here when he was in Redwood City, the few time I went inside and into his room made me sick to my stomach. The halls have an awful oder while the rooms look really grimy. Also a bunch of junkies loiter in the front so I miss took the place for a rehab center. Its a wretched excuse of a hotel that thinks their business is failing because non-guests are parking in their lot. So they will harass you if you park for even a minute in the front. I learned this the hard way since I parked in the front for a minute and the jerks called the cops. Now I have to pay $40 ticket. Here is some friendly advice to the management of Pacific Euro; your hotel is failing because of all the creeps that loiter in the front while your building's decay says "rat infestation". read more

This is the worst hotel on the planet. The beds are so hard, I couldn't sleep. The rooms are so small. I rather sleep on the streets than at the hotel. The streets would have been more comfortable than the beds and also it would have been for free. The guy who runs the place is cool. They don't take miltary discount. read more

This is a good place to stay and a good deal. I stayed a while back (Oct 2010) and had such a good experience that I promised to write a review, just haven't had the chance to until now. It's in a nice location with good shopping, grocery store and food/bars nearby. It's across the street from savers thrift store which was a huge added bonus for me! It's a very good price for what you get. Internet and mini kitchen everything you need when on the road. I felt very safe and welcome there and would definitely stay again next time I'm on route to SF. read more

I originally booked here after failing to find any reasonable sublets on Craigslist and ended up being happy enough that I stayed the whole summer. The price is pretty good and the manager upgraded me to a room with a bathroom at no cost, and was very accommodating to keep me in the room at that price for several months. The rooms are clean and not much different from a normal hotel room apart from the small size. The walls are fairly thin so you can hear the other guests from time to time, so maybe not great for a really light sleeper. The surrounding area is really nice, with many cheap and good restaurants within easy walking distance as well as a movie theater. The Caltrain is less than a 5 minute walk away. The only thing I felt was a negative was the character of some of the other guests. As a large male I never felt unsafe, but it wasn't quite the same feeling of security one would get in a normal hotel. Overall I do recommend this place for a short or long-term stay as long as the negatives i pointed out aren't deal-breakers. read more
