Top South 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"

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."
