I am very familiar with this Denny's, it's around the corner from Ebay /
PayPal where I used to work. The parking situation is really weird.
There are 3 or 4 handicap spots in the front but at a weird angle. Most
of the parking is in a rear parking lot they share with a motel. There
is 3 "rooms" in the place. There is one to the right as you enter and
then two to the left. The place is pretty much empty at 9pm. The food
and service are typical Denny's, reliably mediocre.
