Top The San Mateo Japanese Garden Hotel Reviews

The Catrina Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"He was very happy with the hotel and will stay there again the next time he visits."

Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront

8/10 Good

"I had a very good stay overall. The hotel is clean, offers a great breakfast, has reasonable rates, and the airport shuttle service is excellent. The only downside was the housekeeping service, which needs improvement. The room trash was left uncleaned, and we didn't receive enough towels. Aside from this, everything was wonderful. Better attention to detail in housekeeping would make this a five-star stay!"

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and helpful staff."

Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport

Crowne Plaza Hotel Foster City - San Mateo by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the Crowne Plaza Foster City on a Friday for a little staycation and had such a great time! Check-in was quick and easy, and the reception staff was very friendly and welcoming. The hotel was clean, and our room was in a convenient location near the elevators, which made getting around the hotel really easy. The pool was also nearby downstairs if we wanted to use it. One of the highlights of our stay was definitely the Clubhouse bar and lounge! We had so much fun there. The music was great, with a mix of 70s, 80s, 90s, and early 2000s music that made for such a fun atmosphere. Our drinks were yummy, and we ordered the calamari and yuca fries. Both were really good! The service at the Clubhouse was top notch. Everyone was so friendly and attentive. The bartenders were great, and the supervisor was wonderful as well. You could really tell the staff cared about making sure everyone was having a good time. Overall, we really enjoyed our staycation and had a great experience. We would definitely come back again, especially for another fun night at the Clubhouse!"
