Great place
Used this hotel for a soccer tournament weekend. Rooms were spacious, clean and had all necessities (microwave, coffee pot and fridge). The only issue we had was the key kept getting deactivated.

Convenient location, bathroom needs improvement
Convenient location. Parking registration is complicated as it requires scanning a QR code or texting to a number, but it doesn't confirm whether registration is done properly. Since it's charged to the room anyway, there could be other easier methods.
Room is spacious and clean overall. Bathroom is clean, but the shower curtain barely touches the bathtub so water leaks to the floor during shower.

Average Hotel off the Freeway
Hotel was decent. They do charge for parking...which is through a QR Code. The rep at the counter wasn't very welcoming...No greeting...just took my credit card and CDL to process...barely looked up and made me wait until he was finished with his task on the computer. A bit older hotel compared to other Holiday Inns I've stayed at. Room was pretty good size and bed comfy. Price was reasonable. Exercise room very small. They do have lots of vending machines with assortment of items. Down town San Mateo is within 1-2 miles with lots of good eats.

I usually stay here when I come go to visit my son, and if he has in-laws at his house. The distance and the location are very convenient for me. It is close to San Francisco and close to many other amenities in town.

Thumbs down!
It could have been much better, toilet paper wasn't changed, no way to close our curtains so had to improvise, called front desk about 10 times over the course of the 2 days we stayed and never answered once. Overall cleanliness was alright but no effort to clean the entire room.

Too much time figuring out someone else's job.
As soon as I entered the room the smell of stale smoke filled the room. I was charged for incidentals and they were unable to reverse the charges. I'm still waiting for them to reverse it. I spent a lot of time on the phone before I got on my flight to Europe. Nobody seems to know why the gentleman at the front desk charged me. The rate was good, but this is a case of you get what you pay for.
