Hampton Inn & Suites San Mateo-San Francisco Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff, clean room!!"

Residence Inn by Marriott San Francisco Airport/ San Mateo

8/10 Good

"Overall, a highly recommended stay, especially if you are looking for convenient accommodation close to the airport. Parking is a little expensive at US$18 per night. Breakfast is basic, with the usual selection of sausages, bagels, eggs, yoghurt and other simple options. The laundry room is very handy, although the washing machines are chargeable and not complimentary. However, I was quite disappointed with the condition of the washing machine doors, which were covered with hair and clothing lint. This is something that should be cleaned and maintained properly, especially for a hotel under the Marriott brand. Despite this, overall it was a good stay and I would recommend it."
