Downtown San Mateo Holidays from £985

Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was the best I've ever had at a hotel. Hotel was very clean and I didn't notice a single bug anywhere (I've stayed at some bad hotels in the past and this is important) Location was excellent. It was a great stay overall. Now for the negatives,... Air conditioner was very noisy and didn't seem to get cold enough, toilet seat seems to be coming off hinge, the outside pool was not heated and the worst thing for me is they charge an extra $165.00 at check-in. It's more than a little annoying when you think you've paid in full and arrive to find out you still have to pay for some hidden fees.

Very nice property and centrally located. The sweet potato waffle was the highlight of my stay.

Wow! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Grove! The location was absolutely perfect. Very walkable and public transit near the hotel takes you to many main attractions. The location is convenient. The neighborhood is charming. The hotel is authentic to San Francisco. And the rooms were pristine clean. We actually live - hour away but decided to do a short day trip, and staying here and the surrounding areas gave us a totally different view of San Francisco (in the best way possible!). There are delicious and enjoyable shops, restaurants, coffee shops, and activities nearby including Fillmore Jazz Distric and Japantown (among others). There are a handful of beautiful parks with stunning views only a short distance away. Street parking is available, but can be tough to find and has restrictions during the week (but we are familiar with SF so were prepared). The rooms were very clean and the hotel was quiet and quaint. If I ever come back for a stay, I will hands down stay here again.

Even a second floor room in the Tower is an incredible view of the bay and Coit tower. We had the corner 1bd suite but saw regular rooms on our floor with the sane exact view. Stunning!!
