“A great place for the price. Staff are very very good.”
Hotel is simple, a bit small but clean. A great place for the price. Staff are very very good. Continental breakfast is clean and good. Close to food and stores, right off main freeway so. Attractions are easy to get to. Frig and microwave in room, this is a plus. You will hear some outside noise but overall I would stay there again.
“Nice and neat”
The room is a little small but has everything will need, nothing we don't need. Breakfast in the lobby provided plenty of bagles and fruits, coffee and milk so it's quite convinient. The Japanese restaurant across the street is a good place for lunch or dinner.
“Not Impressed”
They were nice people, but you couldn't leave anything sitting out that you didn't want thrown away by housekeeping. One gentleman even complained that housekeeping had thrown away all his toiletries (razor, shaving cream, toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash). The attending only offered to replace the toothbrush and toothpaste...what about the rest of the guy's stuff? I had to call to the front desk and ask for washcloths and more toilet paper...the attending told me I could come down and get them...I didn't mind going to get them, but I thought they were supposed to supply those things.
“I can't wait to go back next time. I will revisit this hotel in my next trip to San Mateo!”
The hotel was super clean, comfortable staying and very quiet at evening. I was amazed how clean the bed sheets and covers were. I normally take mattress plastic cover since I get bug bites all the time very easily and I had never had that problem during my stay even without my plastic cover. I recommend this hotel to everyone! You won't regret it!!!

“Not Impressed with Customer Service”
Flight was late at SFO and, upon arrival at hotel, was made to stay outside at a check-in window. This, despite the fact that the weather was cold and rainy at the time. Did not even occur to him to open the lobby until I asked. I was put in a smoking room, despite the fact that my request online specifically requested a non-smoking room. I immediately asked to be moved. I was put into a handicap accessible room. However, I was told I that would be moved the next morning to make room in case someone with disabilities needed a room. The clerk said, "It would be very unkind of us to not have rooms for disabled persons." It did not occur to them that it would be very unkind of them towards me to move me when I already had reserved a room, when I was provided the incorrect type of room by the staff in the first place. In short, very poor customer service orientation. Pass on this motel if that is a priority.
“this will challange you value consious customers.”
it may be cheap but its not worth this much discomfort!
“Not comfortable”
Older hotel that has been remodeled, but with poor workmanship and materials. Shower did not work at all. Light switches were very unusual. Couldn't figure out how to use them in the dark. So, had to walk across a dark room to find a lamp. From our room we could hear a lot of outside noise.
“Check out this great offer”
Howard Johnson Express San Mateo exceeds my expectation. It is conveniently located in a clean and nice area. The place is well kept. The manager is couteous. Breakfast is simple but fresh. It is very affordable.
