    Worst experience with a hotel booked through Hotel.com. After 11 pm had to wait lto get in. Finally someone opened the door but helped the lady who came after me. I was completely ignored… Then handed a bunch of paper reservations and pulled mine out. Front desk guy handed a cell phone to the lady. Speaking to someone on the phone while I stood waiting. Finally took my ID and credit card… gave me room key and pointed to the door. Walked around for 15 minutes until I found room 252. HORRIBLE

    I was travelling for work so the location was perfect for me as it was near my office. The price was also one of the best I found in the area for that time of year. One of the nights I was there staying, I was awoken at 3am by SCREAMS coming from the room next to me. It sounded like a man and woman arguing over money and possibly hitting each other. I called the front desk and attempted to let them know, but whoever answered said nothing and simply hung up on me. After about 45 minutes, it sounded like whoever had been shouting left. I brought it up to reception the next morning and no one seemed to know anything about it. However, several of my coworkers were staying at the hotel and confirmed a similar experience. Definitely scary to hear when you are a solo female traveler!

    Close proximity to Stanford Hospital Our friend was in the hospital; unfortunately a 1 week expected stay turned into an indefinite stay. Each time we renewed our room, the price went up. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. My only issue was, from the time we entered our room, our feet were black from the floor. After our first few minutes, I always wore my shoes. I know the floors are wiped, but a good steam clean or buffing needs to be done. Dirt builds up and a quick mopping or swifter does not clean properly. That said, the room, kitchen area and bathroom were spotless

    Room advertised as having a full kitchen. It did basically, but no kitchen items at all, except one kitchen towel. Once in the room, we discovered a small sign under the towel - we almost did not use. On the card it describes things we could request, such as kitchen items. We would have loved this information at check-in. I was not surprised though, since the hotel clerk could not give me a straight answer or perhaps just not understanding my needs. I arrived first, my husband later. It was for a family event, with various tasks, so there would be no opportunity to arrive at the hotel together. Since I originally booked the room. I stated: BEFORE, I checked in now, will husband be able to just pick up a key when he arrives since I will not be there? If no, my follow up question was, what is the best way for my husband to do the check in and I can get a key from him - since I would not return until after hours. First, she completely ignored the word BEFORE - and started the process of checking in, asking for my drivers license, did I have a car, they had a room available on the second floor.. I had to ask her to stop twice, as I needed to know the best way to get my husband into the room. Finally, after going in circles, I must have finally said the right words. She says, oh, I just need to put his name in the computer and when he gets here, he just needs to show his ID. I finish the check in, get my key and have to leave without time to see the room, that

    Check in was easy and the gal at the desk was pleasant. I have stayed here many times as I visit Foster City frequently. I always find the rooms clean and beds comfortable and I feel safe as a woman traveling alone. This time, however, the bed was really uncomfortable. The mattress was really worn out and had no cushion left in it. Hopefully they replace it soon. I'll still book there again on my next stay cause out of all the times I've stayed there this is the first room issue I've had. Parking lot is wide and lit up and the property is generally quiet.

    My room faced the freeway only about 50 yards away. The roar of traffic was as if I was on the shoulder. The only saving grace (?) was that it was fairly constant so I was able to tune it out enough to get some sleep. The "breakfast" was sad -- a choice of instant oatmeal or small prepackaged muffins -- no fruit, no prepared food, no bread or pastries, no juice unless it was in one the vending machines and I didn't notice.

    I paid $180.00 for one night in this property. When I checked the prize of the room before I checked in it went down to $124.00/ a night. Breakfast was not mentioned when I checked in. The kitchen appears very OLD. The freezer is running, the food I placed inside did not freeze properly. The shower walls paint looks like tiles is peeling off. There is also significant noise from 92 freeway that can be heard inside the room. On top of that noise from the room above is very noticeable, including footsteps and the sound of furniture or chair being dragged.

It’s essentially Section 8 housing. Residents are loud and rude. Playing loud music past midnight. Front desk unwilling to address it.

    Im not sure if I am unaware of what an Extended Stay is supposed to be. I was expecting a hotel lobby with elevator and a full break fast bar. What I got was a small entry with vending machines, steps up to my room, and outdoor motel (meaning the rooms are not enclosed within a building) your room door faces the parking lot. The breakfast bar did not have fruit, yougurt eggs. Sunday breakfast, coffee, 7 packets of oatmeal and 6 individually wrapped muffins (this is 8am on a sunday). Mondays breakfast was 4 packets of oatmeal, with paper cups as a bowl, no muffins and coffee. No plates or silverware in the room. I was able to ask for shampoo and a knife and fork to eat out of take out containers. By day 2 there were ants in my bathroom but it was too late to care and I was leaving in the morning. Pay the extra $100 for the weekend and stay at proper place. This was a clean motel 6.

    Check in was a bit weird because the 3rd party booking app I used didn't send over my adjusted reservation but they were so nice and did what they could to accommodate me and make sure I got the room type I wanted. This hotel is always friendly and clean and despite being right on the freeway it feels pretty quiet to me. I feel safe there also and it's really close to the friends I visit when I'm in town.

Surprisingly good coffee in the morning. The amenities were wonderful. Dishes, soaps, towels. The bed however was on a platform so not too comfortable. It was stiff, but I got used to it. The blackout curtains were wondeful! Overall, money well spent. Great for short term travel.

    I was however disappointed with the stove top that was useless as we had no pots or pans or plates and utensils. Also, the breakfast provided was not what the booking called it, the "grab and go" that was provided was seriously lacking. The choice of instant oatmeal plus mini blueberry muffin one day or nutrigrain bar the next was disappointing. No milk or half and half for coffee only oversweetened coffeemate which is awful in tea. They didnt even provide a piece of fruit or juice. The location was not within walking distance to get a decent breakfast.

    The room was clean and bed is comfortable enough. At check in at 3pm my room wasn't ready but the gentleman at the desk found another room for me. There was construction on site which was unsightly but didn't affect my stay. The issue I had was the next morning. Check out is at 11, I had stayed up really late because I was in town to visit a friend and planned to sleep as long as possible. The phone starts ringing. I don't answer because I'm trying to sleep. I get up, start getting my things together and go into the bathroom and start brushing my teeth. There is a knock at the door. With toothbrush in my mouth I go to open the door. It's a staff member asking me if I plan to check out that morning. I said yes, I only booked one night. I said, check out is at 11 right? She said yes, and stated she tried calling to ask if I planned to check out. At that time it was around 10:40am. The interaction was weird and intrusive. I could see them trying to get in touch with me if it was after 11am but considering check out hadn't even occurred yet it bothered me that they were calling and knocking on my door to see if I was leaving. I only booked one night. This is my 3rd time staying here, I like it because it's clean, really close to my friend's house, and my previous experiences were positive. I'll give the property one more chance, hopefully this was a fluke and won't happen again.

    The experience was the worst of my life. We arrived at 1 a.m., and the hotel was closed! We had no way to contact anyone because we had no data on our phone. The room was poorly insulated and had an unpleasant smell. They claim to offer breakfast, but it's nothing more than a simple coffee and a cookie. It was a horrible experience, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone!
