Top East San Mateo Hotel Reviews

Hilton San Francisco Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place, lovely staff, clean, reasonable quiet. Very close to downtown and walkable to main attractions."

Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff, room, and view were all excellent! One star deduction because of a shuttle no-show, and calls to the hotel were all routed though a stupid AI ‘helper’ that didn’t know when the last pickup at the airport should be and we missed it, then waited a half hour for it to show up. Last pickup is at 10:30, even though the shuttle “runs” until 11 pm. Frustrating!"

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

8/10 Good

"Thank you , Holiday Inn San Francisco!! The view from my room was BREATH TAKING ! The Hotel was clean ! Staff were all polite and extremely helpful ! And I loved all of the amenities like the pool and the gym ! I truly enjoyed all of the surrounding restaurants and nightlife just outside of the hotel ! Definitely going to book again !"
