Hotel V

do NOT stay here if you plan on arriving late at night. i arrived after a midnight landing at SFO and no one was at the front desk! i had to forfeit my reservation, $140, and could not find another hotel at that late hour. no one answered the phone or returned my email. do not take a chance on this place.

Clarion choice hotel in Nashville was a wonderful place to stay. Very clean and comfortable along with great service. Justin the bartender at the hotel bar was entertainment all by himself. He made us laugh every time we were there.

The Hotel V is a very basic airport motel, sandwiched in between Highway 101 and the very busy airport road leading into SFO. Both are very noisy roads, with heavy traffic 24/7. Yet... this property's rates and policy is to charge and describe the motel as a 'resort'. For which, they charge 'resort' fees. It's a clever way of appearing to be the cheapest option in the area, adding in all the 'resort' fees at check-in. It's not illegal and since it's pointed out when you book - even through a third party - that the charges will be added - it's not an outright deception; but is it honest? Is it legitimate? You decide! The basic nature of the property is apparent as soon as you arrive. Sitting next to a gas station, the rooms are on two floors, with no elevator. There is parking, but that's an extra cost, too. There is a small lobby for check-in, but it's only operational at certain times and there is nowhere to store luggage at all. The staff will show you a printed list of what comes with your two extra fees - one is for the 'resort' and one is for 'service' - but you won't actually get many of these things even after you pay up. For my stay, the hotel is not providing daily housekeeping, despite the daily service fee on top of the room rate. If you want clean towels, if you want your room cleaned, if you want to empty the trash, it's all down to you to arrange and you have to give 24 hours notice. As of September/October 2021, the hotel has run out of soap and only has limited supplies of toilet paper and a very cheap, almost useless shampoo. So much for the service charge. A hotel that can't provide soap or toilet paper is pretty much not a hotel. As part of your 'resort' fee, there's a coffee maker, a microwave and a fridge, but getting coffee is tricky as there's no service. Despite the 'service' fee. It's all pretty dishonest frankly and yet the staff will not budge on the charges, You pay them when you check-in and don't even waste your breath asking or debating about what you didn't get for your money. There will be no discussion and certainly no refund. The rooms are basic and shabby. Torn and worn linens, but basically clean. Battered old wooden furniture. A small table and a couple of wooden chairs with dirty cushions. There is good WIFI, I didn't use the TV, so I don't know what's on offer, and place for your clothes. There's a battered ironing board and an old iron. No safe. No real security as the lock bolt was very loose. Noise is a major issue. Apart from all the traffic, the low rates seem to attract the worst kind of selfish, noisy guests who couldn't care less. Despite the non smoking rule, there is an almost continuous odour of marijuana being smoked outside the rooms. Bathrooms are tatty and need a make over. Peeling bath tubs, old, worn towels. Relatively clean, when you can get fresh towels of course. No soap. Cheap, useless shampoo that isn't replenished. Cracked and broken toilets and sink, but good hot water pressure. You get what you pay for. The room rate itself is the lowest in the area, but once you've added in all the bogus fees, you're paying the same price as all the competition. More in some cases. It may be legal, it may not be strictly dishonest but it sure as hell is misleading. Resorts come with a pool, a bar, a cafe, a restaurant, amenities. You won't find anything like that at Hotel V. Just a basic, noisy room. Make sure to bring your own toileteries including soap.
