Booked this hotel for a business trip because the price was right and the location was okay. Hallway smelt funny, room was okay. Window was tough to open, microwave was at least 30 years old, loud fan in bathroom, motion sensor lights in bathroom so whenever you walked by the lights and the fan came on, got annoying. Asian strip-mall... More

Had made a reservation via the 800 Best Western. When I got to a Best Western which was reserved they had no park and fly. However, I was sent to this hotel and paying the same price. Staff were very helpful. Clean room. Left for airport before breakfast was served. Hotel provided a taxi to the airport because I left... More

This is a low-end motorlodge located behind an unattractive strip mall. The freeway noise is very audible in the rooms facing the road. Smelly hallways lead to small rooms (with their own funky smells). Buyer beware when purchasing through Hotwire; they list this property as a 3-star hotel... when the Best Western's OWN website ranks this property as 2-star. Even... More

The first time we stayed here we were going to use the Park and Fly and go to Hawaii for our honeymoon. This didn't happen due to Sept. 11th and all the airports were closed. We ended up coming back to the hotel instead of flying out and the staff were very nice and accommodating with us. We ended up... More

Not too much to say about the place itself - fairly run of the mill. Our only reason for staying in San Mateo was to attend MakerFaire 2010, and I DO recommend this place to anyone on a budget looking to attend...the walk to the fairgrounds is easy (we didn't rent a car - if you do have a vehicle,...

I booked my 4 nights stay at this hotel through [--]. When I checked in, they were not able to find my reservation. I presented them with the confirmation letter and they still weren't able to retrieve it. It wasn't until I received my credit card statement that I realized they had doubled charged me. 1 night for a 'NO... More

Stayed at this place November 10 and 11th, 2004. Was booked to stay there three more nights, but checked out, and here's why: 1) The rooms are looking very "down at the heels". Furniture is in poor condition, the bedspreads are threadbare and the carpets are dirty. The bathtubs are extra short, an adult could not relax in them. The... More
