    Clean, spacious, most staff very pleasant and helpful. The restaurant always good, pleasant, helpful. Just a couple things: If you're planning to stay for a while and want to do laundry bring your own quarter and laundry detergent. There is no change maker and there were no quarters anywhere on the property. Bring your own 110 ports for device plug-in; the rooms only has 110 plugs. The bed is a little soft on the more frequently used side, but clean and cool room. Very convenient location and still quiet; easy rides to various locations. Walking distance 7 blocks residential area, to beach with views and walking/biking trail.

    Location was great to get to where I needed to be for dinner and for a scenic run the next morning before going to work. Room was sticky. There was what looked like barbecue sauce that had hardened on the nightstand. I had to scrub it when I got in before putting anything on there. There were oily handprints on the headboard above the bed. A surface wipe down after the full turndown would have made it less icky feeling. Didn't sleep very well.

    Rooms clean and comfortable. Staff was unhelpful and argumentative. The front desk clerk upon check-in was rude and did nothing to fix the issue he stated would be fixed. Everything else was great. But that one staff member has made it to where I will never send my technicians to this hotel again. Which sucks, because we do ALOT of work down there. And we usually get 3-5 rooms for a week at a time. Could've gotten some good money from us.

When we would call her to ask for more coffee and water she seemed bothered. We had to call her because she didn’t bother to check if we needed anything. We also found out as we were checking in that we had to pay $25 per day for parking.

    The man at the front desk was nice. He tried to help me by giving me the King room instead of the 2 queens. Except he gave me the wrong room key that someone was in. Besides being given the wrong room key, the facility itself seemed rundown. It smelled and was dark. The room itself had only one "clean" towel and there was a pile of dirty towels on the sink. All the drawers were pulled open for some reason. When I tried to turn the TV on it wouldn't. The remotes batteries were dead. Also only one of the outlets worked which made using my cpap machine and charging my phone impossible.

When I returned at 3 pm, I was third in line and both of the people ahead of me had difficulties with their booking not showing on the Holiday Inn system. The next morning when I arrived for breakfast, I had to ask after how to match my breakfast with my reservation. Made me think they were trying to avoid my pre-paid breakfast from being accepted! I had to go to the front desk who did indeed have my breakfast vouchers!!

    The rooms were great, but the restaurant/bar is never open on weekends. We got the Friday night and they had 3 items on the menu so we ordered a pizza. It was terrible. We asked if they a different menu earlier in the evening and she said no, just for breakfast and told us they aren’t open on weekends. Why would you close your restaurant and bar on weekends? Seems so odd, since that is when most people travel.

    Support staff such as hotel employee and his colleagues were helpful. Hotel employeec was the best. For a lengthy stay, it's important to keep on the support staff for housekeeping, to properly supply the rooms. If towels are provided, a generous complete supply is needed. Check on coffee cups daily. Better maintenance of laundry facilities...

    For the price I paid, the housekeeping is kind of bad. Even with light cleaning, they really don't clean the room and never were we entertained properly. Asking for extra towels were like hard to do and housekeeping told us they can't offer any. They didnt fix our beds and there was a time one bed was fixed while the other one was not. It is the first hotel experience that I have stayed for more than a week and our room was only cleaned 1 time upon our request. And they don't even clean the room after 12 noon. As for parking, even with the long stay , they only offered discounted rate but it was not free. I have stayed with chained hotels and parking is always included to those staying in . Some receptionists also don't know what they are doing and are unfamiliar with the amenities.

    Only complaint is that bedrooms online are stated to be queen size bedrooms but I found myself in a full size bed. It is quite noticeably not a queen size bed. I thought this was a mistake and when to discuss with the front desk but they stated that all there beds are queens and that that there are no full size beds… as someone who has slept in a queen size bed for most my life, these beds were obviously smaller.

    Room was not cleaned the day I was there. One light would not turn off and had to be unplugged. Headboard on beds have started to break down and look shabby. Remote control for TV needed new battery. Asked for some renumeration given the room was not cleaned, the curt answer was "we don't give credits." Don't forget the $25/day parking fee.

    We had spent the whole day out being tourists , while finding a good place to stay overnight upon arriving there was no one to check in with for at least 15 min. Then the room smelled musty and mildew. Being exhausted from being out exploring we were too tired to go anywhere. So we opened the windows to air out. We notice the curtains had black mold all over. I have photos , which I shared with receptionist upon leaving. My wife has respiratory issues and felt terrible the next day. The issue was noted. I feel that we could use a do over because we know that the company will do the right thing. I would appreciate a response asap. Thank you. Luis Tataje

    Since when does a Holiday Inn charge $25 a night for parking, these guys do. Asked for it be waived since we stayed for 6 nights, nope can’t do that. Ridiculous! Had to keep requesting an additional towel, finally took enough from the house keeping cart to last the remainder of the stay. Facility is showing the wear and tear, needs an update. Should be able to fund the upgrade using the $25 a night parking fee. Absolutely do not recommend.

    Of our 7-night stay, we came back to an unmade room on two days - beds unmade, towels not replaced. During the stay, the hotel supposedly ran out of facial tissues. The housekeeper did not replace the box of facial tissues on Day 3. It was not replaced on Day 4 either. When we enquired, front desk said they would send someone up. We waited an hour, no one came. We called the front desk, who said they were out of facial tissues, but they had not bothered to inform us. Day 5, facial tissues were still not replaced. This persisted for 5 whole days. It's unbelievable that the hotel did not have any facial tissues at all for 5 whole days. When we left, the tissues were still not replaced. Service staff were unhelpful and unsympathetic. Did not try to resolve the problem, only saying they didn't know why it happened and that it wasn't their job. Appalling

    I wish I had read the fine print, and that there was a $25 per night charge for parking. The hotel is in San Mateo and not San Francisco. The charge is ridiculous. I usually stay in Foster City, but I thought I would save some money. Nope -- I'm pretty sure with this parking charge -it costs about the same. Also, the shower curtain (see photo) is ripped. Surely a new curtain could have been and should have been replaced. The bottom of the bedside table has something spilled on it-- and it's never been cleaned up. I checked to see if it was easy to remove. Yep, it was easy to clean up a section of it. The freezer in the refrigerator unit is filled with ice -- no room to put anything in it.

    The employees were all very nice but overworked and understaffed. We were given the wrong room type at check in. The hotel restaurant was supposedly open for another 15 minutes but initially did not want to let us order any food though the front desk had told us we would be able to. Discovered that was due to there only being one person to do waitressing, take orders, bartend, cook, and then have to do closing. Inadequate number of towels and facecloths but they had no housekeeping staff in the evening to deliver to the room so we had to go down to front desk in separate building to get them. Room had silverfish in it.

    The staff left only 2 towels in our room and after 3 calls never brought more. My husband eventually went down to lobby. The same thing happened the next day.

    It is in a convenient location and a rare find that can sleep 5 in one room. But the sofa is dirty. The room has a kitchen and a dining table, but no dish or fork or anything provided. They could do a better job managing this nicely located property.

    Close to where I needed to be. Having a restaurant on site was also great.

    Everything worked out fine. But, I was unaware of the parking charge until I checked in.

    All good just limited in every aspects. For e.g Breakfast options are limited. For e.g. staff in breakfast dining can be friendlier
