Belvoir Springs

A friend of mine stayed there once while her house was being renovated. She misplaced her key and called the manager numerous times, to no avail. She had to return when the house keeping showed up two days later for their normal schedule to get back in her apt.
Very ”professional” management indeed.

I’ve lived here at the Belvoir for the past 4 months, and I absolutley love it. I’ve never been in such a place that has this kind of peaceful atmosphere. The people here are friendly and the management here is helpful, kind and understanding. It’s a great place to live.

I arrived at Belvoir Springs with the intention of staying a month, maybe two at the most. As it turned out, I ended up staying a year and a half and it was a wonderful experience. If my family logistics hadn’t changed, I’d be there still. Belvoir is really unique; a large estate, actually, on 21 or so acres with spring-​fed water, cows grazing nearby, set against the foothills, yet only 5 minutes from two BART stops and just across from the unique Niles District of Fremont. Owners Jim and Susie Richardson are great and made me feel welcomed and at home. Belvoir is cozy and safe with a lot of perks (including twice-​weekly housekeeping service). If you’re looking for something modern, something more like a usual chain hotel, this isn’t the place for you. In my case, it was perfect!

I have stayed here with my BF and the place has some nice charm. Everyone is very nice and takes care of the place. The owners are very nice people. He stayed there for at least two years and glad Susie works so well in the community.

I recently responded via email to an ad about a room for rent. In his response, Jim, who I assume is the owner and/​or general manager told me to make an appointment to see the room. I called to speak to him and asked if there was interest in that particular room. He told me there was interest but no pending applications. With that in mind, I made an appointment for 10 am this morning.
I arrived a couple minutes after 10 due to rain. I’d been told to call when I arrived because the staff might not be on property. Three phone calls, two voicemails, one email, and an entire wasted hour later, I finally got someone to come out to the property for my scheduled appointment. When he (whoever he was, since I never got a name and he said he wasn’t Jim) arrived, tiny wet dog in tow, he informed me the room I’d made an appointment to see had already been rented.
So thanks to poor management and even more poor communication, I wasted time and money going to see a room I was never going to be able to rent. The trip cost me more than just a wasted morning — I could have scheduled client meetings during those hours or worked on pending projects. Instead I got aggravation and an unsympathetic man-​with-​a-​dog-​whose-​job-​title-​remains-​unknown.
If this is how they treat potential customers, buyer beware. The beginning of the relationship is the best it’s ever going to get, and it’s all downhill from there. Judging by some of the previous comments about the rundown nature of the place (it was neat in appearance but definitely has seen better days, especially the filthy guest bathroom that I refuse to describe here), the service and maintenance is on par with the treatment I received today.

I lived at Belvoir Springs for over 2 years and the place is wonderful. With the amount of space and beautiful scenery Belvoir had many options however with the company Gladas who takes care of your room twice a week, Belvoir Springs is the place to be. If you travel and need an extended stay home without all the fuss of getting an apartment, Belvoir Springs is the place to live at. If I was single again, I would quickly move back in. Susie Richardson is a pleasure to work with and a very nice person. Generous with her time and open to talk about your needs. I miss you guys!

For what I needed, this place worked out great!!! Relocating to the bay area I was looking for a moderately priced short term (1 – 2 months) place to stay. While the facilities may not be state of the art, the tv (LCD), wireless internet and laundry all worked fine. Yes, there is a lot of animals running around (cats), however that only added to the charm and eccentric nature of the hotel. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for relocation housing.

This place is good for short time staying 30+ days. It is a «Hotel» that you get a small refrigerator and a microwave oven in your room and you can use the kitchen. There are maid services twice a week. Really nice place and the rent price is reasonable. Cats and dogs walk on the property. There is one cat in the house but a few more outside, so if you are allergic to animals this will be the worst hotel you can possible stay. Skunks are out late night.
The property is more than 100 years old and the interior is also in old fashion. I considered this place is my «temporary home», not just a hotel.
