It was AWFUL from check in to check out! DO NOT STAY HERE! The check in process was with AI gal in India! She was hard to understand. No one was onsite to speak with. Had a problem with the TV that didn’t work and they expected to charge us more money to move us to another room. We refused to pay more! Hotel was more than 3/4 empty! They finally agreed to have us move. We had to take all our stuff (we had tons as we were on the road for 3 weeks and I have a bad knee) back downstairs and back upstairs in another room in another building! We wasted almost 3 hours with arguing and finally moving! We asked to speak with someone and were told someone would be there around 11 or 12 the next day! Needless to say, we had to be on the road way before that

One of the bed’s frame was broken. The floor in both the room and the bathroom needs to be mopped. The water in the sink and shower started out light brown before becoming clear after a few minutes of leaving the water running.

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
