Convenient location. Parking registration is complicated as it requires scanning a QR code or texting to a number, but it doesn't confirm whether registration is done properly. Since it's charged to the room anyway, there could be other easier methods.
Room is spacious and clean overall. Bathroom is clean, but the shower curtain barely touches the bathtub so water leaks to the floor during shower.

Hotel was decent. They do charge for parking...which is through a QR Code. The rep at the counter wasn't very welcoming...No greeting...just took my credit card and CDL to process...barely looked up and made me wait until he was finished with his task on the computer. A bit older hotel compared to other Holiday Inns I've stayed at. Room was pretty good size and bed comfy. Price was reasonable. Exercise room very small. They do have lots of vending machines with assortment of items. Down town San Mateo is within 1-2 miles with lots of good eats.

I usually stay here when I come go to visit my son, and if he has in-laws at his house. The distance and the location are very convenient for me. It is close to San Francisco and close to many other amenities in town.

We get to the room and it was ice cold at 10pm at night my grandkids where with me there bed had no sheets or blankets on it. Call down stairs said it will take 30 minutes to get some. Woke up in the morning had a good night sleep the room was warm all worked out good

It could have been much better, toilet paper wasn't changed, no way to close our curtains so had to improvise, called front desk about 10 times over the course of the 2 days we stayed and never answered once. Overall cleanliness was alright but no effort to clean the entire room.

As soon as I entered the room the smell of stale smoke filled the room. I was charged for incidentals and they were unable to reverse the charges. I'm still waiting for them to reverse it. I spent a lot of time on the phone before I got on my flight to Europe. Nobody seems to know why the gentleman at the front desk charged me. The rate was good, but this is a case of you get what you pay for.

Disappointed overall. Yes, there was parking but it's $20 per day, didn't say that when I booked. We paid for breakfast and were told that kids go free under 12, but nobody said they have order from the two choices on the kids menu. Surly service at breakfast, the menu said toast and after we waited a bit we asked if was included to be told we should have said because we actually have to specifically say that we want it. Had to ask twice for milk for tea, eggs under done for over-medium just liquidy mess. The next day we remembered to ask for toast but had to ask again twice for milk with drinks, offered a variety to teas but no English breakfast and curtly told that was all they have. Asked for sausage, got bacon and the plates sat on the pass until he sausage was ready , by then the rest of the meal was cold.
Left feeling like a scolded child.

We stayed in the large, one-bedroom unit and everything seemed fine until we went into the bedroom. The strong smell of urine was overwhelming. Asked front desk for assistance and they told us to talk to the manager in the morning (we were only there for 1 night anyway). Said manager wasn't there when we were told she would be and never called us back. Do NOT recommend.

The front Desk Staff Jessie was WONDERFUL! Checked me in very quickly and very caring. The hotel room exceeded my expectations, with brand new amenities, large spacious rooms, beautifully decorated hallways and new carpet. I was very pleased with my stay. I felt like I was in my own apartment. Also 10 minutes from SFO Airport !!

As an "airport" hotel, it was a $50 cab ride from the airport. Most other airport hotels had a complementary shuttle service and the Holiday Inn did not.
The room furnishings were dirty and dated. It was fairly noisy too, as right next door to the 101. Finally, the staff were pretty ineffective.
