I recently stayed at this property and was extremely disappointed to discover unexpected charges that were never mentioned during the reservation process through expedia. Like $30.00 per day for the parking!! and the other fees that were not mentioned. I made my booking in good faith based on the information provided, only to find additional fees added at check-in/checkout that were neither disclosed nor justified. Transparency is a basic expectation when booking any accommodation. There was no mention of these fees in the confirmation email, the reservation platform, or the front desk until I was already locked into the stay. This feels misleading and unprofessional. Guests should be informed of all costs upfront — not surprised with added charges after the fact. Until this issue is addressed and pricing is made more transparent, I cannot recommend this property and will be taking my business elsewhere in the future.

The hotel is in a corporate park however there are not a lot of options in the immediate area to stay somewhere with a walkable downtown which makes this property attractive since it is in a good location but not up against 101 like many of the hotels. On a weekend the area is dead so it's very quiet other than the small airport and at times single engine propeller planes take off over the hotel every 90 seconds (we noticed this but the pool in particular. The staff was adequate but not friendly per se and the place is nice. The e-bike rentals, while expensive, are convenient is you want to go to San Mateo where there is more of a downtown and streetside dining options. I don't think it says in Expedia that parking is $30/night, but it is.
