My wife and I had tickets to the theater, and we did not want to drive home afterward. The hotel is not anything to write home about, but it was clean, and the parking was free. It is a short walk to Civic Center and within walking distance of the Golden Gate Theater. Walking the Tenderon is an acquired taste, and I recommend Uber for the return journey. The bottom line, considering the cost of parking, staying at the Rodeway is a real deal, and one gets to play tourist in the morning.
