Great location! My boyfriend and I were in town to see the best local Bay Area theater, the Imaginists which is located around the corner from the motel.
We also had a wonderful breakfast across the street at the Parkside Café, which you can walk to as well.
The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was beautifully decorated and spacious. I definitely recommend staying here.!

We have stayed at the Astro twice and loved it both times. There is a lovely garden with several sculptures and a park next door where you can relax in nature. We also dined at the Spinster Sisters and had an excellent meal. We would stay here again.

Such a charming and well-located spot! The decor and grounds are lovely, and the simple breakfast (especially the coffee) really hits the spot. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The mattress and pillows were unbelievably comfortable—better than many 5-star hotels I’ve stayed in. Light sleepers may want to bring earplugs, as some noise carries.
With a few small updates—like adding a double lock (!), fixing the musty smell, and putting in blackout blinds—this place would be improved.
Thanks for a great stay!
