The staff were super friendly, all we came into contact with at least. This is the first stay at a place where I didn't have to clean anything in room after arriving. Corners on all floors clean, baseboards clean, carpet really clean, could walk on it bare foot and feet stayed clean.) They fine tune cleaning; make that extra effort. I like this Inn a lot.

Decent place and convenient to get around downtown Redwood City. My biggest issue is with the beds. They are firm and they border on giving me a backache.

My experience at Redwood Creek Inn left much to be desired. While I typically refrain from leaving negative reviews, this experience truly tested my patience. Initially, we encountered minor issues with the front desk during check-in, which I brushed off. However, the real frustration began when I received a call from the front desk at 11 pm, disturbing my rest. Expecting an emergency, I answered, only to be informed that my card had been accidentally charged twice. Exhausted and preparing for an early morning MRI, I politely requested to handle the matter in the morning. Instead, I was met with argumentation from the clerk, despite expressing my fatigue and urgency. The next morning, my dismay continued when I found the shower in my room filled with human hair – a hygiene issue that left me feeling repulsed. Upon attempting to check out, I was met with further frustration as the same front desk employee, whom I can only describe as a "wise guy," insisted on asserting his perspective and dismissing my concerns. In a world where customer service is paramount, I felt disregarded and overlooked as a consumer. While mistakes are inevitable in any business, the lack of effort to rectify the situation or provide satisfactory resolution was disappointing. As someone who values a seamless and comfortable stay when booking a hotel, this experience fell far short of expectations.

Enjoyed our stay here and would stay again. The staff was very welcoming and accommodating. The rooms were clean and the outdoor seating area was a nice place to relax. We had to switch rooms because the AC didn't work properly the first night, but the staff responded immediately when we brought this to their attention. The card readers on the doors are a bit touchy, but finally figured out the right way to open the door. The key cards seem to get desensitized often, but was told if we keep it next to our cell phone it could do that. The breakfast items offered are minimal, so don't expect to be served a breakfast. The location was wonderful since there were many options for food very close by and it is an easy walk into downtown RWC. Overall, very satisfied with our stay here.

I've stayed at many of the renovated motels along El Camino Real and this one is on the better side with respect to noise levels, though still a loud road, and add in the commuter train station nearby, the fan is perfect for canceling noise and the newer windows and doors help you not be disturbed at night. Water pressure is also a bit better here than many others. You can quickly cross the street for Whole Foods or a longer walk or drive across El Camino for Safeway and several dining options. Downtown Redwood City is also walkable and has many dining options.
