San Mateo Inn

Very nice room, very pretty. Felt like I got way more value for my money here, felt like it was a hotel costing twice as much. I spent 3 nights here and was reluctant to leave. Great fridge and microwave, giant bathroom counter which was nice.

I was a bit anxious after reading some older reviews about the homeless situation in the area (I understand this is NOT a reflection of the hotel, the homeless problem is becoming a big problem in almost every city). But it was obvious the hotel owners have stepped up to combat the situation. I FELT SAFE HERE as a female solo traveller as a result, and felt my vehicle was safe here as well. They have erected fencing around the the hotel parking to discourage unauthorized personnel from entering or even approaching the hotel or visitors' vehicles.

Dove chocolates on the pillow, beautifully decorated room felt very inviting. Greeted by cheerful desk personnel with nice bottled water.

Driving to this area does not feel safe as homeless abound. Lobby experience was quick and pleasant. Guest room was a total surprise. Seemed like newly renovated and very clean. Nice, big and comfortable bed with refrigerator and chocolates on the bed. Staying in the room felt safe and was quiet. Only the surrounding area felt sketchy. Recommended.

I understand they recently renovated this hotel. It was very clean and had a decent price considering it was the balloon festival week and we got it at the last moment. However the carpet they used to remodel must have been the cheapest carpet as it already was beginning to have rips. The staff was exceptionally pleasant and accommodating. Again the rooms were very clean. You smelled cleanliness just coming into the room. The furniture was very fitting and decorated nicely.

I was so blown away with how nice this place was, particularly at the price point. The exterior looks like any other motel, but the rooms are like a luxury experience. Amazing mattress, quiet rooms, beautiful and tasteful decor, really kind and helpful staff. Very spacious and clean, just so many small touches that places at this price just never, ever seem to have, like wall art, patterned drapes, blackout curtains, and a legit restaurant guide that miraculously included vegetarian and vegan options. The only slight downside was that the satellite TV was a bit on the fritz.
