Our recent stay at the hotel was made truly memorable thanks to the outstanding service of Maribel dela Cruz. Her warm hospitality, attention to detail, and genuine care for guests went far beyond our expectations. She consistently went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout our stay. Maribel’s exemplary guest relations skills are a true asset to the hotel, and we are deeply grateful for her dedication. We highly recommend this hotel and commend Maribel for making our experience exceptional!
Hilton quality! Perfect. Nice outdoor pool. Good breakfast, all meals available. Clean, large hall! No plastic utencils like other places. Very nice place!
Marcia from the very moment we stepped towards the elevator greeted my family and I with the biggest smile and amazing burst of energy. The sweetest most caring soul you’ll ever encounter. This automatically made our stay 5 stars all around, she truly goes above and beyond and even rinsed our babies bottles for us. We will always reserve a room here at the Hilton in San Mateo and all Hilton inn hotels moving forward if this is the type of staff they hire, thank you Marcia and entire team you all were phenomenal!!!
We have only stayed there one time for a night. It was a very nice Hilton property in a very nice area of town, shopping centers within easy walking distance. Very nice hotel but not luxury property. We typically stay at Hilton properties because we are Hilton Honors members.
We have stayed here a couple times now and were very happy with our experience both times. The hotel is tucked back among some tech companies close to the waterfront and the area is very quiet on the weekends (we haven't stayed during the week.) We love that we can park the car at check-in, for the night, and walk to the nearby shopping center (1 block away) which has plenty of great stores, a multitude of dining choices and a really cool arcade with bowling, a bar and more! Also within walking distance are a couple of parks and the area is quite nice to stroll. The hotel itself is very clean and well maintained. I was impressed from the moment we pulled in to the parking lot (parking is free). Room was modern and clean and the hotel is nicely decorated and clean. Breakfast buffet includes a good selection including made-to-order omelets.(Breakfast is not included in the room rate, but see pro tip below) The hotel is quite inexpensive as well, I guess there is a lot of competition in the area because SFO is near. We don't live that far away (1.5 hours drive) but love coming here for an easy mini-vacation due to the affordable rate, the great stay and the proximity to Half Moon Bay (among many other things). We can wake up, eat at the hotel and be at the beach in less than 30 minutes drive. The pool is outdoors and although it may be heated (not sure) it is still cold since we stayed on cool, Fall nights. My daughter still braved it! The second time we stayed my wife and I had the best Old Fashioned we have ever had, at the hotel bar! Hats off to the bartender, I forget her name, but she made a killer drink! Pro tip: book breakfast at the same time as your reservation and you will feed the room for a few dollars a head, compared to $12 at check-in or $24 the morning of (don't quote me on these prices). We can't wait to be back soon!
Staffs were friendly and attentive. Clean and cozy room, had pretty good sleeps. Breakfast spread is great too. About 10 minutes walk to get some food nearby.
I cannot say enough about this hotel. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and special. Any problems that you have in the room are addressed immediately. The restaurant staff is awesome, the breakfast is delicious. The room are spacious and comfortable extremely clean, but the best thing is the way the entire staff makes you feel so important is just WOW.
Solid HGI, very good location in Tech Hub with many solid chain resturants within walking distance. Overall, a good stay. Breakfast was decent but limited for Diamonds (ie no egg or meat options). Rooms have been recently renovated.
Waterside suburb with kitesurfing at Baywinds Park & a short course at Mariners Point Golf Center.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
