Top San Mateo Hotel Reviews

Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was clean, classical decoration and free breakfast. There was also a free shuttle to the airport that was right on time and helpful to get to our flight. The walking path behind the hotel is gorgeous on a nice day or night though could use some refurbished and tlc on the pathway in some spots are you near other businesses. Stunning views of the bay, airplanes flying in right from our room!"

Hotel Zephyr San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"We are so thrilled we were able to stay at a hotel Zephyr. The staff were extremely friendly, and helpful. The rooms were clean and had a fun designs. There was a lot for tiles of all ages to do in the hotel, including snores on the fire pits in the evening and all the indoor and outdoor lawn and board games. They had awesome resources on traveling while in San Francisco, and throughout California. The location was also extremely safe, and right across from Fisherman’s wharf. Public transportation and the famous hop-on hop-off trolleys are also easily accessible. Parking is $65 but is available on sight and is discounted 50%off on the first day if you book the hotel from Expedia. We were also on a higher floor and had an amazing view of San Francisco. The only complaint we had was that the room with two queens was a little narrow. Two people could not walk across the hotel room, without another person having to move out of the way. Otherwise, it was an absolutely wonderful hotel that I recommended to all my friends and family with children."

Travelodge by Wyndham San Francisco Airport North

2/10 Terrible

"The room smelled so bad. It smelled like someone’s body odor. It was the worst smelling hotel room I think I’ve ever stayed in. And I wasn’t sure whether there was mold there because it might have been the smell of damp carpet. I arrived at 12:50am or I would have asked to switch rooms."

YOTEL San Francisco

2/10 Terrible

"I can handle bad luck items. If, for example, The neighbors were noisy, or the ac wasn't working that day, that might not apply to the next guest. No, my problems are more ongoing. The premium room pictures clearly showed a chair under a small side table built into the bed that could be be considered to function as a small desk.Either chair or side table existed in the room. The staff said none of thier rooms had a desk after calling the manager who refused to speak to me. Pictures are worth a thousand words, but 5he staff tried to make it user error because the text description didn't say desk. But the pictures for each room type were different and clearly showed a chair under a table. Also other rooms had pictures of actual desks but they said no rooms had desks, so those pictures are lies according to the manager. They didn't even have the grace to apologize for my inconvenience. Other problems with the room, the shower lacks a grab bar even though the floor is not non-slip. The TV is slow, it blackscreens for 10 seconds when changing channels. A pain when I am unfamiliar with the channels. The channel guide didn't work, I had to set the date and time to get it to work but it didn't populate the listing. The light turns off automatically... When I was taking a shower.... The switch to shift shower from wand to overhead is hidden for anyone of standard height... It is very small under the temperature control. I have a lot more to say but am only allowed 1500 characters"
