San Mateo Holiday Packages

Great inexpensive resort with a fabulous breakfast.

I would definitely stay somewhere else. It's overpriced and not as expected from photos/description. The hotel fee is meant to include all sorts of useful credits, but it's difficult to actually use up the credit for restaurants because it's impossible to get a table. And then it was $8 for room service delivery (and all I wanted was a desert and a glass of wine), and that delivery would take over an hour? That's just ridiculous. The bar/restaurant downstairs has a DJ blasting music, which would be great if that's what you like (and if you could actually get a table). But not so much for the 10th floor room above that bar/restaurant.. I was stunned at how loud it actually was inside the room and how much it rattled absolutely everything. The reason I picked this hotel was for the vibe--a beautiful historic hotel, and rooms with character. And it does have that on that side of the hotel. Unfortunately I was moved to the other side of the hotel due to the noise issues, and that is much more like any other worn down Super 8 and it was a bit disappointing. The staff were helpful to move me to a different room, and I appreciated their efforts. But it was all a bit "expectation vs reality" -- the hotel has redesigned the lobby space to include the new bar/restaurant at the front, and so guests arrive to a side entrance that feels a bit like an afterthought--part of the parkade--rather than what you would expect from the photos, and for a historic property.
