Paid-for Reservation Not Honored

I booked this hotel for my husband, who was on a business trip in the Bay Area. The room was confirmed and paid for way in advance. On the day of arrival, after spending a day at business meetings and dinner, he arrived at the hotel around 10 p.m. The front desk manager, Ms. Julia Bath, told him that they had given away the room even though it was already paid for. He was given a form letter (which leads me to think this is a regular practice at this place) and told to take a $30 Uber ride to a hotel at SFO, even though his meetings the next day were all in Redwood City. We have been frequent travelers for 30+ years, and this is the first time we have shown up to find our paid-for hotel room unavailable. I am certain that had I tried to cancel the room, they would have charged me for the night regardless. But it is okay for them to double-sell a room that was paid for by a guest. I would stay away from this place unless you are prepared to show up and find that your confirmed room is not available and you need to find another place in the middle of the night.

Good hotel, but charging an extra $30 for parking is ridiculous. Won’t stay there again.

Really a clean and quality hotel with increasibly friendly staff. The reason I gave it 3 stars are 1) parking is hard for easy transient parking (eg an hour) and 2) the market is really insane - $8 for a bottle of water or $6 for a soda. price gouging at its finest. there is no need for that and it is shameful.

Great Hotel and location!

We always stayed at this hotel when it was "The Sofi Hotel", but was a bit hesitant because of a couple of so-so reviews, but we decided to give it a try. We were greeted by friendly staff upon entering. We checked in an hour early- No problem as room was ready. The room was very clean and the linens were plentiful. Coffee maker worked great and coffee was good. We were so busy, that we didn't get to try the restaurant and bar, but we'll be back, so next time! The Coffee Shop had excellent coffee and almond croissants! Keep up the good work, it is noticed!
