Top San Mateo Hotel Reviews

Handlery Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location on Union Square, lobby staff so kind and friendly. We had a great room, you can tell the building is old but they've modernised the decor. Would stay here again."

Parc 55 San Francisco - A Hilton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the sunset suite I highly recommend it. Don’t forget to close the curtains when you leave or the room will be super hot when you get back."

Hotel Zephyr San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this quirky hotel. In the perfect location close to Pier 39 trams and cable cars. Staff very helpful. Love the games room and the outside entertaining area with the fire pits. Our room was a little noisy with the person above us walking around non stop. But other than that would definitely stay here again."

Hilton San Francisco Union Square

8/10 Good

"The staff were so great! I travel often and am always refreshed by kind and helpful staff! The property itself was great, some physical maintenance needed but definitely not a deal breaker!"
