The rooms are very clean. Anita, the owner, checked me in. She was friendly, cordial, and efficient. Weavers Coffee is right off the parking lot, an added plus!

Nice facilities, cleanliness, and low price makes this place a good value.
"Breakfast" was disappointingly minimal and subpar...

7.0
Room was spacious and very clean! Location is very convenient to public transport, cafes, and restaurants. The value for the room was excellent. Staff was courteous.
No chance of assistance after hours. Some of the window louvers were broken which allowed for light and a feeling of lacking privacy.

The North Bay Inn was updated which we were not expecting. Room was basic but clean. The Dove hot chocolate was great!
It is noisy if you are in a room close to the freeway. There wasn't any kind of breakfast grab and go.

The room was larger than normal and the condition of the room is excellent.

Very nice room for its affordability. It was clean. Bed was comfortable and the property was quiet. I had a good night sleep. And nice soap in the showers
My motto is don't complain when you are in a budget be grateful.

It was basically what you'd expect for a roadside motel, but at California prices. The noise from the nearby freeway was not a problem at all. The continental breakfast was the bare minimum of what they could offer: prepackaged sweet pastries, bananas, mandarin oranges, tea, coffee.
The internet was so slow that it was barely usable, and it was slowest of all in the back corner of the room where the desk is (that is, the exact place where you would want the BEST internet, as it's the only comfortable place for a computer). The room was probably clean enough, but there were dark smudges all along the edges of all the doors that show that no one ever thought to scrub off the grime from people's hands opening and closing doors.
9.0
Great location, close the freeway. The room was modern and clean. Very comfortable bed with plenty of pillows. The bathroom was modern and clean. We had an upstairs unit and it was quite despite of being so close to the freeway.
The front desk/ night staff was not very friendly. To be fair, it could have been because we checked in late in the evening. We felt we were interrupting their evening.
9.0
