Forty Flags Motel

After touring over 200 hotels/​motels in the USA from business travels over the past ten years. I found, considering the higher priced accommodations generally we see in the SF Bay Area, this motel being in the top five of value. I put up a couple colleagues of mine here to test out during one of the fie nights they stayed in the bay Area. The outside appearance may seem somewhat shabby, although the interior is clean with comfortable bed, mini-​fridge and microwave oven. The room with bathroom measures 225 square feet. The prices currently run under $ 70/​night on weekdays and under $ 90/​night on the weekend.
Prices have gone up in the SF Bay Area over 20% in the last six months. This hotel has gone up in price only ten percent.

So I don’t really write reviews but felt like I needed to for this place, specially considering that it had none.
We were actually put up at this motel by our landlord because they are working at our place and we would not be able to stay at home for 2 nights.
Upon arriving to the hotel, everything already felt a little «dirty» as in maybe they have hourly rates if you know what I mean. We inspected the place, the sheets had holes in them, one that looked like it was made by a cigarette or definitely cause by burning. The TV was old but not a big deal, didn’t actually turn it on since we weren’t there for very long. Microwave was missing the plate that spins around and the mini-​fridge didn’t really close all the way (Room 119). There is also a big mirror that runs along the side of the bed, which I’m sure is very nice for those who are there on «other» business and don’t mind the place. We were willing to accept all this but the tipping point came when my girlfriend went to the bathroom and found someone else hair on the toilet and shower. We decided at that point that even if we didn’t have to pay for it, we weren’t going to be sleeping there and started looking for another place to spend our night. To top things off, while we were looking up hotels, it started to smell like skunk. Obviously this was outside and not part of the room itself, but it was strong enough to be worth mentioning.
Luckily for them, we made a run for it before taking any pictures. If you’re looking to spend the night somewhere, you’re better off going somewhere else. Even if you have to spend a few extra dollars.
