Staff was great and supportive. Couple of minor issues, no wash cloths, shower drain wasn’t draining well, and missing TV remote.
When I say this place met my expectations I mean IT REALLY STOOD OUT. The rooms were clean, neat and well decorated. Check in was easy. Whole property was clean and well tucked away off main street. Will stay again!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The gentleman at the desk was very nice and helpful. The room was fine, comfortable bed. Didn’t have hot water in the morning though and the floors were in rough shape as others have mentioned. Not bad for the price.
Room was comfortable, clean and modern looking. I really enjoyed my stay. Small little pet area towards the back, which was lovely. Would definitely stay again.
Flooring in our room was peeling up. The doggie relief area was fake grass had patches of other dogs waste smeared into it, which was a huge bummer because that was one of the main reasons we booked.
Besides the flooring coming apart, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Did the trick, and for the price it was worth the stay. Wouldn’t recommend to travelers with dogs tho.

The room was spotless and service efficient. Well priced place and convenient location for visiting the San Mateo area. I suggest the property add a desk lamp to make working in that area a little easier. The staff are friendly and check in/out very easy. Would return here!
This was our first time here. We liked that it is pet friendly. It was walking distance
to a bar where we were meeting friends. You can tell it’s an old hotel that has been spiffed up. Nothing fancy. Just a decent hotel.
Room clean and good except for light: too much through window. It needs blackout curtains.

Smaller room than I usually expect in a California suburb. Room was clean and mostly fine, but room had minor maintenance issues and the neighboring guests were occasionally loud late at night (particularly on Saturday night)
In all it was adequate but I’d probably look elsewhere next time.
Needed more light in the room! The recommended Thai restaurant was excellent!

It was the 2nd time. It's not as comfort and quiet as hotels but, considering the price, I'm pretty satisfied with everything. It was clean and has nothing to complain.
Check in was easy, our flight got in late so I’m happy we were able to check in at the kiosk virtually. The bed was comfortable and we appreciated the water and granola bars. The only issue was the bathroom floor looked like it needed a good mop. Otherwise it was just what we needed.
