Top San Mateo Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Its a grate place and location are very good for the diferent activity"

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

8/10 Good

"Prime location. Trolly stops nearby. Awesome views of the city and lots of food places to eat and Whole Foods across the street."

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

8/10 Good

"I enjoyed my stay. Location was very central and easily walkable. There was some construction going on during my stay so it made it hard to recognize from the street as the sign was covered. I am rating it a 4 because there are really no amenities. No bar (was closed), no restaurant, no gym, no A/C, and the parking is a block away. However, I liked the old time charm/character to the place, the bed was comfy, the staff was pretty helpful, even though sometimes I had to wait a bit for the bell hop. When I did food delivery, it always came very quickly to the hotel since the location was central to a lot of places."

Hotel Zephyr San Francisco

8/10 Good

"Location close to the Port and Pier 39."

Handlery Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the pool area and our balcony. Beds are comfortable. Friendly staff. Would stay there again."

Club Quarters Hotel Embarcadero, San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"This was my 2nd visit to this hotel and I appreciate the convenient location. The room has the right amenities that I need for an independent trip. I will stay here for future visits."
