"Dinah's is my go-to hotel for the SFO area for the past 7-8 years. The heated pool is the main attraction. Suite with kitchen is wonderful as I have many dietary restrictions and need to cook my own food. Bath tub is great as well, however this time the jets in the bath tub were not working which was disappointing. It may be time for the hotel to implement some updates as it has been exactly the same since I have been staying there since 2016."
