Top The San Mateo Japanese Garden Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza Hotel Foster City - San Mateo by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was wonderful, I have a child with autism and they were very understanding. The indoor pool was amazing. I love having my staycation here."

DoubleTree by Hilton San Francisco Airport

8/10 Good

"This was an average stay. The property was clean & they offered amenities (I didn’t use many as I only stayed a weekend but I noticed what was available!) Warning that you have to pay $35 a night for parking and for some reason they don’t provide shower caps in the room????? I had to work really hard to get basic things and some of the staff seemed annoyed that I had simple questions like where is the ice machine smh but otherwise it was an average, okay stay."
