My family and I stay here every other month so it’s become sort of a home away from home Really happy to see the cooked to order breakfast is back Omelets and pancakes plus potatoes and sausage along with the normal American continental options

Would love to see some alternative meats offered (turkey or plant based sausage)If you can get a room with a view, it really is lovely I love the trail along the bay There are bikes for rental as wellThe pool wasn’t very clean on our last visit so that could use some regular attentionJulie at the front desk is a gem Airport shuttle is convenient

This property doesn’t want customers who can only stay one night I was traveling for business, I am a Hilton Honors member and was staying one night only as I had training nearby The hotel refused to book me for one night on a Thursday night! They gave me the run around telling me that they were fully booked

Then they finally admitted that they don’t make one night reservations Apparently that’s a hotel “policy” now Well, that’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen from an Embassy Suites I’ll be taking my business to the Marriott down the street since they still value one night customers! By the way they have also changed their happy hour to 5-6:30 with only 2 drinks per customer We used to hold after training business meetings here and enjoyed the happy hour As responsible adults I think we all should be able to choose how many drinks we decide to have Very bad service from this Hilton property and I will never stay here again I know they don’t care that they’ve lost my business, but just a warning to others that if you need a one night stay you can forget it

Saia Halaliku

The suite we had was great The hotel was easy to get in, and out It was also within a short distance to all the attractions that we wanted to get in this trip

The room was very clean, and a pretty good size The continental breakfast was very good The swimming pool, and the sauna seemed to be very busy, and the common areas were kept Although this property does not have a kitchen, or a full restaurant

Norman Pettit

A very good hotel for the budget-minded An excellent value for the price paid compared to other lodgings in the area Our room was well kept and everything was in good working order

The bed linens and towels were of good quality and all of the amenities were thought of (iron, hair dryer, mini-fridge and microwave)–not all hotels in this price range offer all of these features The front desk staff was very pleasant and friendly I will definitely stay here again when my travels take me to Half Moon Bay

Rebecca Leerssen

We enjoyed our stay at The Miramar Check in was easy and the host was able to give us a good idea for dinner (Barbara’s fishtrap) While the property is not ON the beach, we were able to walk to there easily, its a few blocks to a trail, and then just a short walk on the trail

The room was clean and spacious Breakfast options were somewhat limited – (instant oatmeal and packaged pastry) but the coffee/hot chocolate/mocha machine was great

Great rooms, good breakfast, Terrible front desk reception Darnell made us wait for 30 minutes s to check in I had only two choices

Not check in and get charged, or wait for Marriott website to go back online We will never go back Instead of eating hot food that we got from takeout, I am waiting for front desk to print out forms which took him three times He has NO EMPATHY at all for our familyI get that we had an outdated form, but we only were given 2 options Cancel the reservation and pay full price or hang out in the lobby with the family in the car to get an updated form I did not have the option of paying full price for the room and staying there even though I would be charged full price but not be able to stay the night On the expired form there is a code that the hotel could have verified if they had any empathy, but as you can see from the owner’s response they still do not understand what was the issue

Bridgette Kendrick

So I want to start by saying I’m a Titanium Elite member and have stayed in countless Marriotts all over the country The SpringHill Suites by Marriott Belmont Redwood Shores was the absolute worst They claim to be “pet friendly” but that’s only towards dogs not cats

I called the Elite reservation line to book a 4 night stay, 1 night with points The hotel is “pet friendly” and I made sure to tell the representative that I had a cat Everything is booked and I prepaid for the nights stay After I got off the phone I called the hotel directly and spoke with someone (I believe her name was Julia) to make sure that I had a “pet friendly” room reserved for my cat, no problem Then I drive from Washington state to California I start checking in and for some reason they’re having problems with my reservation since one night is with points and the other three were prepaid Then they are getting ready to give me the pet form to fill out and I mention my cat They say we take dogs only! I tell them this has all be confirmed with the Marriott Elite reservation line and I had called the hotel myself They continue to say no cats, my cat is a 4lb Persian that has a lion haircut (mostly shaved) Then the manager Ben Lawson is called and he says “no cats in my hotel because they’re more allergenic then dogs” I have never heard of such a thing A pet friendly hotel is a pet friendly hotel You can bring cats on planes so I’m not sure what this was all about but I felt very discriminated against and it was embarrassing that I was being turned away I was so tired after my long drive and now I’m being forced to find a different hotel After staying in over a thousand nights in Marriott hotels the SpringHill Suites by Marriott Belmont Redwood Shores really disappointed

Nate Richardson

This hotel refuses to help in any way should circumstances out of your control put you in a position where you can no longer travel I came down with COVID the day I was supposed to travel The receptionist refused to allow me to alter my booking in any way

This was for required work travel and I just asked to shift the booking to a future date They offered no remedy and charged me full price I will never stay here ever, and I suggest those who read this review do the same

Marie Dawes

This motel is totally adequate It’s a clean, mostly comfortable motel in a good location between Stanford & San Francisco I recently stayed for 5 nights with my family when we were in California for a graduation

Things to know: they don’t clean rooms until after you leave So you won’t get a freshly made bed or clean linens each day When you need clean towels or more toilet paper you have to go to the office & ask This isn’t a big deal and won’t impact you if you’re only there for one nightThe only thing I really disliked was the bathroom The sink is weird and because of its design there’s no place to set your toiletries There is a small shelf below the mirror that’s big enough for a toothbrush & toothpaste but that’s about all The towel bar is long enough for maybe 2 towels at most, even though the room sleeps 4 On the plus side, it was clean & the water was hotOne other quirky thing is the floor is not carpeted but rather a hard surface It didn’t bother me & in some ways I liked it better than carpet because I knew it was cleanSpeaking of quirksI didn’t understand the “art themed” deal Looked like a regular motel room to me with photographs of the local area on the wall Maybe that bathroom sink was the art?

Ryan Spitzbart

Considering the fact of getting a really poor room downstairs, hearing some “noise” from above for 15 minutes straight and having to get up the next morning early was a pain Fortunately the front desk representative was very understanding and I got a more decent room, but this feels like a party hotel as noises seem to occur often Also being near El Camino is another drag as I might as well state I’m sleeping feet away from traffic

Otherwise, amenities are very basic and the front desk has some snacks and alcohol for a reasonable price Personally, I didn’t find this hotel my cup of tea, but for those wanting to have a rowdy time here and save some money, this is your place!

Aaron Hysom

Front desk guy was not friendly, the rooms are not like the pictures Cheap linoleum floors make for an intolerable situation on the first floor Place was dirty, 2 yellow pillows, one flat one round

No pool, no NOTHING, This place was just too depressing to spend the week in while out of town on work I told my manager and he will reimburse me for the Holiday Inn I payed for to get out of this place Don’t waste your time, money or life-time on this place Enjoy CA spend 40$ on something you can enjoy

Service and views! Justin’s service is exceptional and made sure my stay here was outstanding They went about and beyond the norm of a hotel Accommodated me for anything i need and got me a beautiful bay view

He and his staff are on point5 nights total and my stay was very comfortable and i can’t wait to make another trip and bring my family with me Hope to see you all soon!And with an amazing bar and food in the lobby!Thanks for a warm welcome

chris ohanians

Really poor hotel, staff and amenities The staff are uninterested in main They do not want to provide a good customer service experience

The bar is often unmanned, the breakfast cafe was sometimes unstaffed and closed The bar menu is limited at best The rooms are not clean We had blood on the floor of the room and the concierge staff were somewhat surprised we asked for the room to be cleaned In the end they just put some towels outside the door Guests also bring their own bags in on trolleys in a 9 floor hotel The parking is charged to guests at $30 per day without any discount or free access to paying guests A terrible experience all round and would avoid at all costs if you are staying in Redwood City

Kathleen McCabe

On the plus side the staff are outstanding, friendly, try really hardOn the needs improvement side: property was once branded as a SofitelThat was clearly some time and some age of the premises and upkeep ago

Recently rebranded from another name to Grand Bay, the temporary signage they’ve slapped on the building looks so sketchyDespite its outstanding location in great proximity to a number of large businesses in the area, the building is very tired, in need of upgrades, very limited food services, no real amenities or services on site No laundry In the rooms themselves, definitely tired and in need of renovation Defects in the bathroom walls have been painted over repeatedly Cleaning is just so so Hairs in the bathtub which clearly were not mine No robes, no laundry service, and if your luggage is lost like mine was there’s very little that they can offer you to helpRoom service staff are extremely pleasant and responsive but the menu is very limited and the prices are out of step with the quality of the food All food comes with plastic utensils and plastic containers and delivered in plastic bags so it’s never hot by the time it gets to your room and just feels like cheap takeout At very inflated prices Food services hours are very limited Bar shuts at 10 You can’t get anything to eat all afternoon not even room service Room service ends early Not 24 hours Makes it challenging for the visitors who are coming to this area from all over North America and internationallyThe building itself has good bones and the location is fantastic right on the water with a great outdoor patio But a significant lift and investment in refurbishing the physical premises and an improving food and beverage hours and quality and adding the amenities that business travellers expect would raise the status of this property But for now it does not justify the price as it chargesAlthough this is the most convenient location when I come to the area, I won’t be staying here again unless there’s a significant refresh

Eli

Great place I got a very affordable rate directly on their website despite booking only a few days before The cleanliness and quality was well worth the price

The check in process was seamless The area in general was pretty quietThere were more extras than I expected for the price: plastic drink/water cups, ice bucket, decent quality TP and tissues, well-functioning ice maker outside, well-stocked separate soap/shampoo/conditioner dispensers in the shower, coffee maker with coffee and cups, etc They didn’t skimp on the towels and pillows, either I was just by myself and had three pillows in the room along with more than enough towels for twoThe fridge worked fine, as did the AC I didn’t try out the shower, freezer, coffee marker, or TV, but everything appeared to be clean and in good working order Along with being very clean, the room was decorated in a simple but tasteful way (lots of calming, muted blue-grays) and didn’t have any smells I appreciated the lack of heavy scents and perfumes and got plenty of restful sleepThey were even nice to me about the fact that I forgot to get my stuff out of the room before going out to brunch the next morning, calling me so that I could come get it Totally my mistake, but they didn’t charge me and were very kind about it I’m likely to come back to the area sometime in the future and I am very likely to go straight to their website and book I’ve stayed at my fair share of 1-2 star inexpensive places in my life and this was among the best, if not the best

Jeff Henigan

I stayed at the Redwood Creek Inn recently and found it to be very clean, comfortable, and affordable The host was friendly, courteous, and provided answers to any questions I had The room was spotlessly clean and of ample size

The bed was comfortable and spacious There was a garden area where would could sit and relax I would recommend this facility to my friends Anne Henigan

Mariela Estrada

The rooms were very clean had enough towels shampoo a nice size refrigerator and coffee maker with coffe included had hair blow dryer and clothes iron Bets were clean and confortable They also have a very cute area out side to sit and enjoy the weather

I love the service and had a great experience the pride was reasonable in that area I will definitely go back

Tobias Herrmann

Would give 45 if I could for the current very reasonable price Rooms very clean

Staff very nice A basic hotel/motel to stay for a day or two close to the airport Nothing to complain about basic amenities Location is about 30 min away from the city via car/uber, more than an hour taking public transport Couple of restaurants close by I know they might be bound by COVID regulations but there were a couple of things that did not really work and that we did not expect to encounter in spring 2022 Restaurant and airport shuttle not operating The most minimalistic breakfast and vending machines not working

Susan Trujillo

Nice suite, clean and comfortable Appreciated that the complimentary breakfast included hot food optionsSome have mentioned the noise from the train, In building 2, I never heard a peep but a family member in building 3 did hear and found it annoying

Bed was comfy and the location was convenient and staff were pleasant and courteous

This place is honestly a hidden gem The staff was very courteous and professional and I loved that they kept me updated with emails and texts before and during my stay The lobby is adorable and has free coffee, tea, and hot cocoa available 24/7

They have a very reasonably priced happy hour as well as cork screws available in the room if you’d rather pop over across the street to the grocery store and buy your own wineI stayed in the 2 queen bed deluxe room and it was wonderful! The beds are firm which I loved and the room was spacious and exceptionally clean The personal balcony with privacy curtains is awesome and I would’ve definitely taken advantage of that if I wasn’t staying in the middle of JanuaryYou have standard hotel noise and some rumblings from the train but nothing that kept us up at night and nothing that some ear plugs couldn’t fix The location to public transportation and downtown Millbrae is superb

Mel Litts

Clean room and polite staff Felt like a safe environment Airport “shuttle” is just the regular public bus, but the stop is quite close

Just bring cash for that Breakfast wasn’t free at all and only fruit as option for vegan, stopped at Peter’s Cafe very short walk for something more filling Overall good hotel for a great price in SF

miranda baggett

We stayed on the second floor, the room was very clean, staff was friendly and helpful The decor was super cute, but the bed was way too soft and the pillow situation wasn’t any better either With the curtains closed shut the light was still let in immediately with the sunrise

We also got a noise complaint at 8:50pm on a Sunday, we definitely weren’t being quiet, but not obnoxiously loud enough for a complaint that early, (maybe a Karen was below us) Location is good, near the airport and Bart station

Pros -clean rooms with great amenities Thick towels, very soap as well as a big screen TV I slept in till 10:30 it was so comfortable

Staff was accommodating in checking me in and offered me drinking waterCons Gates were on the fritz and when you called for assistance it went to a number that led to nowhere Could use better signage as to the parking lot Would recommend for future stays

Arcri

This place was clean, the staff was pleasant and friendly and it was all around an excellent experience They were understaffed the day we came, however we were still blown away by everything here The view and the rooms are amazing

Beds are comfy, the restaurant was clean, everything was near perfect Wait times were a little more than usual but that’s no fault of the staff hereI thank the whole team here for making our vacation a great experience 🙂

Robin Daigh

We booked three queen suites for 5 nights each several months in advance of our trip to San Mateo, in order to accommodate each of our adult guests with his or her own bed during our family reunion and college graduationWhen I checked in, I was informed there were no suites available at the hotel, even thought my confirmed reservation showed these suites, and I had booked directly through Marriott   I was informed that the “corporate Marriott website” oversold rooms, and there was nothing that the local hotel could do to accommodate me

I was also told that no suites were available for the full extent of our stay   Instead, I was offered standard queen rooms, plus “we’ll wave your $30 parking fee”  This left us without enough beds, and without the sitting area we had counted onAfter over an hour of negotiations, we were finally assigned four standard queen rooms for the same price we were to originally pay for the three queen suites  I felt truly sorry for the young woman at the front desk, who was put in a really bad situation by Marriott management  I have frequented Marriott since 1982, and have never seen such a botched reservation  Back in the day, Marriott was known for its excellent quality  But no moreAlso, be forewarned that there is no longer any restaurant or room service options for dining  There is a small mini-mart with a very, very limited selection of prepackaged food at high prices   Thankfully, there was a Trader Joes within walking distance, but any other dining options are at least 15 miles away by car in San MateoWe are also trying to adjust to the new reality of not having hotel rooms cleaned on a daily basis  Apparently, guests now have to request that their room be cleaned, and even that is minimal at best (eg, take out the trash, remake the bed)  Dirty glasses are not replaced   And at this hotel, you can only request maid service during the week, not on weekends  From what I understand, this new cleaning policy is actually harder on the hard-working cleaning staff   I stayed at a different Marriott last December, and they seemed to do a much better job of managing the cleaning service without having to clean every dayThe best thing I can say about this Marriott is that it had a lively bar, and a decent pool, hot tub, and work out facilities  It is also convenient to  US 101 and a short drive to downtown San Mateo

Quiet, right off the 101fwy, and great rooms The check in process was extremely easy The room was well cleaned, and well kept

Little scratches here and there, but overall well kept Room came with full kitchen, stove, cooking utensils, cups, mugs, pans, full size fridge, microwave, and dishwasher Small living room but comfy, king size bed and 2 TV The only reason gave it a 4 is, according to front office staff (who I suspect were the owners) the don’t control the AC system in there own hotel So my room was in high 80’s I called the front end so they can tell me how to lower the temp, and the answer I got was sorry we don’t know and have no control over the AC Which i found hard to believe

Jigar Agrawal

It is not as beautiful as they have portrayed in the picture There are some pros But the cons are many more and most people won’t let them go while considering an expensive stay

Cons:The staff is quite unresponsive I felt like they do not even care This could be personal though, but they have not delivered toiletries even though I requested them this morning The rooms are not quite clean Some kind of sticky thing on tables Looks are frozen puke! The bathroom door doesn’t lock Breakfast is very poor They just have some eggs, juice, bagels, 1 type of fruit, coffee, and some juice I was expecting more variety of fruits and yogurt and everything No elevator The furniture is very old and looks cheapPros:The bedroom was nice and comfyI would have given half star if available

Ashley Marie

Wonderful local hotel with all the comforts of a well kept home Ruby and DJ at the front desk were both very helpful and always attentive to whatever questions I had or help I needed The Hyatt Homes come with a basketball court, swimming pool, bbq area next to a fire pit all surrounded by a lovely pond with walking trails

The full breakfast included with your stay was full of a variety of foods and snacks to eat there or take with you for exploring the area

This hotel was great! From the comfy beds to the good breakfast and the kind staff!We came in to enjoy San Francisco as tourist The front desk was super helpful in suggesting things to check out and even offering the best ways to avoid costly parking downtownThe hotel itself was clean, had coffee and tea available all day and the rooms were great

They supplied extra pillows when asked The cups in the room were real glass not throw away paper ones- which was nice The breakfast was omelets, sausage, make your own waffles, yogurt and fruit The drinks included juice, tea, milk, coffee and filtered waterI would for sure recommended this hotel if your looking for a safe place away from the main downtown part of San Francisco or flying in

We booked this so we could be close to the airport for an early flight and what a pleasant surprise! Hard wood floors, very clean and modern bathroom, has fireplace and really comfy bed and pillows! Free continental breakfast the next day! I had my trepidations at first but really professionally run! Women at the front desk was friendly and very welcoming!

I specifically called the hotel before booking to ask about parking and twice the receptionist told me that up to 10 days was included Of course she neglected to tell me it had to be booked a certain way So I ended up spending 100 more

My whole point staying there was to make it easier to catch an early flight and cover parking I never leave bad reviews unless it was really bad, but I did my part by calling and got something different in person I am not someone who thinks the customer is always right but the service here deserves a poor review There wasn’t even an attempt to compromise Just can’t recommend this type of behavior Also room was nice but it was loud , rooms don’t have much insulation Just a bummer to have conversations like thatAdd insult to injury the manager leaves some lame response like give us another try! Sorry buddy that’s not a credible sorry, just trying to make yourself look ok

Staff was absolutely wonderful especially since I arrived at 2am I was here for a family medical emergency the night staff remembered my name even enquiring about my son’s health I appreciated the thoughtfulness

The room was clean spacious and most of all the bed comfortable Pool and hot tub were relaxing I am an older woman, was alone, the complex was safe Recommend to anyone anytime I forgot to take pictures but it is beautiful

Kelly Lavadie

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here The rooms are clean and the beds are so comfortable that I actually researched purchasing one online The staff was responsive to our needs

They did have a shortage of staff so we opted to have limited/no cleaning services during our stay, but this wasn’t problematic I would love to stay in this hotel again in the future

More like a 35Pros: Clean, spacious room with nice check-in people

Cons:1) Someone tried to enter my room (I can only assume and hope it was the cleaners) at 8:30am Luckily the door was dead-bolted, because they actually managed to open the door Cleaners need to be better trained to not try and barge into rooms without warning, because the checkout time is 11am or later anyway2) Layout of hotel is pretty confusing and its a large hotel Only one elevator at one end of the building so you’d either have to strategically park at that side entrance, walk a lot or take the stairs3) Parking should really be included in the room rate, rooms are already pricey

Nice clean location The include hot breakfast fast, and the service lady was very attentive making sure we had every we needed The checking was seem less, she was friendly and the hotel follow the health protocol

Staying there it was quiet, so I was able to get a good night sleep They have charging is by the wall on the desk, they didn’t have cherishing by the bedI would stay here againThey have a workout room and a pool, we didn’t use them but the seemed nice and clean

Alissa Sisneros

Front desk upon check in and check out were kind and lovely! Everything is clean but you can tell this property needs some updating My door (room 335) was so hard to open and close and it was dented and kept getting stuck The furniture is older and the lighting at the bathroom sink is very dim

It made it hard to get ready Overall everything was adequate and clean and the staff was wonderful but not as nice as most Marriotts I have stayed at

I booked the largest room at Bloomington,Mn best western plus for granddaughter kindergarten graduation celebration and the AC didn’t workit was 83 degrees in the room and I had a newborn baby We had to prop the door open just to get air

I S/w front desk Was advised we could check out or take 50% discount but another guess was accommodated with executive suite poolside Guess my skin was too dark to get that accommodation I have been coming her every year for 12 years and have never experienced such treatment My kids love this hotel but you’ll never get another penny of my hard earned “Black “ dollars

Jill Whitaker

I would give a zero star to the best Western historical Inn, st augustine, fl If possible We booked 2 rooms 3 months in advance specifically requesting GROUND FLOOR and beside each other and were told that would not be a problem

We specifically chose this hotel because they had ground floor rooms (We also confirmed our reservation 3 days prior to our trip) Neither one of those requests were met and one of the rooms is literally in a hole next to the ice machine To say the least I am LIVID!! END STORY, Don’t expect to get what you reserve Terrible customer service

We loved this hotel It’s clean, quiet and comfortable The staff are very kind and friendly It is beautiful to walk into and it was only a 30-45 minute drive to the largest attractions

We really enjoyed the pool and hot tub as well Was easily the best shower we have had in a hotel room My only wish is that they would put conditioner in the bathroomstip: We reserved parking at pier 39 any time we planned on being downtown It was only $15 for the whole day

Yo Mama

I came from a hotel in San Fran, and that was horrible The food, service and cleanliness were atrocious This hotel was great

The people were very helpful and friendly My room was very clean The restaurant food was great It was real cooked food, I was very impressed We actually canceled our plans and ate breakfast and dinner the entire week at this restaurant If I ever come back to this area, this will be the hotel I stay at

Carolyn Wei

We selected this hotel based on the positive reviews, but It does not live up to the recommendations The lobby and dining areas are beautiful but our room was shabby to say the least First off, the front desk staff failed to inform us that our room was a smoking room and when I entered with my 4 year old son it reeked of smoke

Then when we went into the bathroom, the towel rack was broken and hanging off on one side Then when I went to give my son a bath, it was evident that the tub had not been cleaned and there was debris near the drain I don’t typically write reviews but this is not a family friendly hotel and I do not recommend to families with young children
