Wilton Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 Was not expecting this property. Saw there was a 2.5 star in San Mateo as a PRICELINE EXPRESS Bid at $57 and thought it was the Holiday Inn Express in San Mateo. The Express property had free parking and internet while this does not.Perhaps should have taken the Express deal. Live and learn. Originally bid at 48, added Burlington and won at 51.Used your PRICELINE link.

Wilton Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Posted February 24, 2014 Wanted to follow-up and give a small warning to potential bidders. This property is behind a Holiday Inn Express, and shares their towels and staff, but is not nearly as nice. Rooms are spartan, not close to 2.5 stars. The ambience is dismal and long overdue for a facelift. If you are simply looking for a reasonably clean place to crash before a flight out of SFO, this will do, but do not be deceived, it is nothing more than this. Beds are uncomfortable and water pressure is poor. I was traveling with kids and had to pay a $20 upcharge for two beds. It does have free parking and wireless. I did not look at the breakfast because I knew good places nearby. While the airport shuttle worked well, be aware that you are 5-6 miles away from SFO. Bidders Beware.
AaronJB Posted February 24, 2014 Report Posted February 24, 2014 Thank you for the follow-up note/warning regarding this property, it is greatly appreciated. Sorry to hear that the stay was a disappointment.
