Top Central San Mateo Hotel Reviews

Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront

10/10 Excellent

"I like the cleanliness of the hotel. The room is spacious. The elevator is fast but you won’t feel the movement of the cabin."

FOUND Hotel Carlton, Nob Hill

10/10 Excellent

"The only issie I had was that you can hear the people in the next room talking. So it was hard to get to sleep. The walls seem "thin" in this hotel. Stayed here before and same thing. Could almost hear the conversation. City noise is always an issue but thats not the hotels fault. A garbage truck doing something woke me up at 4:30am. Loud banging and glass breaking for about an hour. Wasnt sure what it was. Other than that, the place was clean and bed/pillows very comfortable. Riom was a good temperature. The staff is super friendly. Ill continue to use this hotel."
