Absolutely the worst hotel check in experience I have ever had at this Clarion hotel. Upon arriving there was no one in the office checkin/reception area. Guests are supposed to use a screen “kiosk” which connected me with a lady in India. They had processed my payment but then experienced “technical problems” that went on and on and on … I requested a first floor room but she said their system showed there were none available… but I was actually there in person and it appeared there were several available. They continued to have “technical problems” so I asked the lady to simply refund my credit card payment and I’d find a different hotel. She said she wasn’t authorized to do that… only her manager… and the manager wasn’t available. I called Capital One while all of this was going on to flag the account transaction. Clarion did charge my account… has not refunded it… and now the whole dispute process will have to be played out. To not have a human being present at your hotel guest check in is ridiculous.

The room was spotless and service efficient. Well priced place and convenient location for visiting the San Mateo area. I suggest the property add a desk lamp to make working in that area a little easier. The staff are friendly and check in/out very easy. Would return here!

It was the 2nd time. It's not as comfort and quiet as hotels but, considering the price, I'm pretty satisfied with everything. It was clean and has nothing to complain.

The tv did not work in our room and we were told maintenance would come look at it but nobody did. Traveling with a toddler and no tv is less than ideal. Ive called management 3 times to complain but have yet to get a response regarding compensation for the lack of amenities on the room

This place was refurbished. And it looks really nice in pictures but they cut a lot of corners. Bathroom had a lbit of mold along the edges that hadn’t been cleaned for a very long time. The bad frame was aluminum made a bunch of noise as you sit down. The lamps didn’t work although we appreciated the USB next to the bed. We loved that they had free laundry and coffee. But it’s next to El Camino and they didn’t have blinds that can block out the light. They put incredibly bright lightbulbs on the outside, which then shined into the room. In summary, unless you’re OK with a loud room and light coming in, I’d look for a different place.

Parking is off the main road so its a bit safer. Ive stayed here a few times now and its like advertised so thats refressing. The bathrooms could use an update but not if the price was to upgrade with it.

Was a no frills stay. The staff was polite and fixed a small issue I reported at 8 PM quickly. The property is clean. There was a bit of noise because of the bed and people outside the room. Simply put, the place was good for the price.

The virtual check-in was not working and entire system had to be on both ends due to no audio/video. Bathroom sink did not drain AT ALL. Window Shutters were broken and could not be closed making room visible from outside at night. Toilet ran all night after being flushed. No staff available.Not worth the money.
