I was very impressed by their room options, particularly with what was basically like a having second room which was essentially a mini boardroom with big desk, 4 office chairs and a big wall mounted monitor in addition to the big bed and T.V. in the main room area which also had a lot of horizontal surfaces area to set stuff down on. I will definitely stay here again. Excellent, polite hosts.

As someone who has traveled extensively across the globe--from boutique stays in Europe to luxury hotels in Asia--I can confidently say that Lia Hotel stands out as one of the cleanest, most well-maintained, and genuinely welcoming places l've ever stayed. Tucked away in the Bay Area, where affordable quality can be hard to come by, Lia Hotel is an absolute gem. The rooms are spotless--seriously, not a speck of dust in sight--and the attention to detail in cleanliness is unmatched anywhere l've been. It's clear the team here takes great pride in the guest experience. Beyond that, the rates are unbelievably reasonable, especially given the prime location. In a region where accommodations can easily break the bank, this hotel delivers top-tier comfort and service without the outrageous price tag. If you're traveling through the Bay Area and want a place that's clean, quiet, and feels like a true hidden treasure, Lia Hotel is it. I can't recommend it enough--and I don't say that lightly.

I’ve stayed at hotels all over the Bay Area, and LIA Hotel is my favorite. It’s a family run hotel near lots of dining options. It’s very safe and very walkable. Free parking. It’s very clean and I love the art theme and quotes that adorn the walls.
