The size of the room should only have had a double bed, not a queen. The complimentary breakfast was good and served early enough to accommodate our needs. They have an airport shuttle, but one would still need a car because it is too far from the southern most BART station. The room also had a small refrigerator and microwave.

We visited SF for 3 days and decided to rent a car, stay in San Mateo and drive to the city. The hotel was conveniently located, just off the major highways. Our room was very spacious and comfortable for a short stay. The refrigerator didn't work but not a big deal as we didn't use it. Staff was friendly and... More

Great place to stay near the airport. We flew in early morning. Staff was very nice and helpful. My mother liked the fact they had glass cups and glasses. Room was comfortable and very clean. I would stay here again to be near airport.

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.

Minimal hotel. Nice staff, OK breakfast, small and dingy room. Lobby smelled old, room smelled OK.

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
