What's the difference between 5-star and 4-star hotels in San Mateo?
If you choose to book a stay at a 4-star hotel in San Mateo, you'll typically find lots of conveniences to make sure you're comfortable, such as a pool, gym and restaurant. You can experience top-quality service and upmarket surroundings. Opt for a 5-star hotel and you'll get a few extra perks — think concierge assistance, on-site spas and nightly turndown services. You'll most likely get additional amenities and first-class services at a 5-star getaway, though both are great options for luxury guests.
