Stayed here for four nights while doing business in Redwood City (~3miles away). The hotel was clean, the staff was very nice and helpful, the room was bright and quiet and nicely furnished (with free and strong wi-fi). Free spacious parking lot. Felt safe. Easy access to/from freeway.

Feedback for hotel management if they read this: (1) The breakfast was just okay. I know it is free, but it needed to be monitored better to keep it stocked. No yogurt one morning. Out of spoons at one point. No bananas one day. Sticky floor one day. (2) Two of the outer doors I tried wouldn't accept my key card, even though the card worked perfectlyl each day for my room. I told the front desk staff, who said they'd have it checked, but it wasn't fixed later that day.

There are lots of restaurants on Laurel Street in San Carlos (try Guiliana's - it's great!) and also in a little shopping center toward the bay. There is also a little walking trail along the estuary, but I didn't see it until the last day!

I would stay here again if I come back this way.

We stayed twice at this hotel; the first night as somewhere to stay fairly close to the airport after arriving late, and then again a few days later. We found the hotel to be clean, quiet and the staff to be friendly and helpful - they actually remembered us after our first stay which I find unusual for soulless US chain hotels. There was no problem with freeway or airport noise, despite staying in a room next to the airport on our first stay and facing the parking lot on our second. The breakfast was average and I wouldn't have liked to have to eat the same things for more than a couple of days; but it was free (or at least included in the price). But overall if you don't mind staying at a fairly remote location, this is good value. You should be aware that there is no airport shuttle.

We were looking for a hotel between Redwood City and SFO. This hotel had very good rates for us, and was conveniently located as well. The room was extremely comfortable, with all the amenities and two excellent queen-sized beds.

I was concerned about various reviews describing airport and road noise, so I requested a quiet room. We were given a room on the third floor which faced the museum, so my needs were well-met and accommodated. This location, however, is very far from the elevator. It was extremely quiet.

The staff was friendly and helpful. Parking is easy and plentiful. The hotel was spotless and like new, but seemingly sturdily built. The breakfast was fine.

Marriott describes this as a business hotel, which was my impression too. It seemed efficient and "corporate". It served us well and comfortably, too.

this is a great stopping point between monterey and san francisco. we went to dinner at half moon bay which was a very scenic 30 minute drive away. the hotel is simple but super clean and nice. the sheets and decor were all new and modern styled. easy access and easy parking. we were most surprised about the continental breakfast. it was scrumptious! and so much to choose from. it was easily a $15 breakfast per person - for free. fresh waffles with berry sauce, jimmy dean sandwiches, boiled eggs, cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, fruit, muffins, danishes, bagels, toast, coffee, tea, juice, milk.

Nothing fancy but everything you want and need. Great location if you want to be near the South Bay. Great freeway access. Nice restaurant right next door and a Burger King.

Good soft beds. Everything relatively new. Free wi-fi that works. Staff pleasant enough.

Small gym and laundry available.

I paid $90 and in the Bay Area that is cheap. I liked this place and would stay there again without reservation. The airport next door is a small municipal airport. No plane noise. Freeway on the other side might bother some but not me. I turned on the fan and never heard it. Free parking - also hard to come by in this area.

  • Liked — Clean, and good location.
  • Disliked — No complaints really. Especially for the money.
