Very good

Nice renovated place in mid San Mateo. Very reasonable pricing, clean updated rooms. Parking and ingress and egress somewhat challenged.

I actually checked in and did not even sleep there. I did shower in the room but just did not sleep there. Upon check in there was a crazy, homeless person in the lobby that really made me uncomfortable so I just used the room to shower in the day but slept at my daughter's apartment on the floor. The room was neat and clean and updated, I just got weirded out by my initial experience.
Bed was too soft and frame moved around quite a bit. Water pressure in sink was very low. Entry door was difficult to operate as the number pad backlight didn’t illuminate. The self check in with remote concierge was convenient and easy!

Everything was wonderful. Staff was lovely, the room was very clean.
Yes the room was neglected and in bad shape. We checked in after 8pm so we had to use virtual check in and nobody was available in the office when I left at 8am.

Yes all on point
Except a car’s alarm kept going off about 10 times all night and early morning and we were right there in room 107. Loved everything EXCEPT that
