Upon arrival, the room wasn't clean, but the staff quickly addressed it when we raised the issue. It did take a while for the room to heat up, but once it did, it was cozy. The room could use some updates and care. The strong perfume smell in the sheets was a bit overpowering.

At first, the room wasn't as clean as we expected, but the staff promptly fixed it once we informed them. It did take a couple of hours for the room to become warm, but once it did, it was quite comfortable. The room could definitely benefit from some updates and a little more attention to detail. The perfume smell in the sheets was a bit excessive for our liking.
Service

The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay, making our overall experience pleasant. However, there was a brief encounter where one staff member was confrontational and made condescending remarks, which was disappointing.
Location
8.0
The location was peaceful and felt like a suitable choice based on the value. It was convenient for our needs and just a short ride share trip away from downtown San Mateo. However, the noise from a disturbing altercation nearby was unsettling, detracting a bit from the tranquility of the area.
Dining
5.0
The dining options were quite limited and not very appealing, primarily consisting of carbs and basic cereal choices. It could definitely use more variety to enhance the overall dining experience. The desserts, however, were satisfactory.
Facilities
6.0
The facilities could use a bit of maintenance and updating to meet modern standards. While there were some amenities available, the overall condition needed improvement to provide a more comfortable stay.

My stay at the hotel was truly disappointing. The rooms were filthy and dirty, and I couldn't even communicate with the staff to ask for clean towels since they didn't speak English. The smell of perfume soaked into the sheets made it unbearable. Everything was so unclean, with mold in the bathroom and a dirty sink and toilet.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, near the training academy and just a short ride share trip to downtown San Mateo. The staff were very nice and attentive, although a bit disinterested in travelers sometimes. The dining area was nothing special but got the job done. The rooms, although not the cleanest and seemingly DIY-installed, were passable for a short stay.

The rooms were put together from things pulled out a dumpster and installed by watching DIY videos. They were not very clean, but I managed to stay comfortable.

The staff were very nice and brought me extra towels and rags when needed. However, they seemed disinterested in travelers at times.

The location was very accessible to our training academy and a short ride share trip to downtown San Mateo. Plus, it had access to public transport for exploring various parts of San Francisco, which was convenient.

The dining area was in a small corner of the office. It was alright for a quick bite in the morning, but nothing memorable.

The facilities were basic but sufficient for a short stay. Nothing too fancy but got the job done.
