Hotels with Spa in San Mateo County

The hotel is great, the rooms are big, but the location is a bit remote. Suitable for couples traveling. All the toiletries in the room are from le labo, the experience is very good. It can be delivered right away if you ask for a microwave in the middle of the night, very good service.

Very clean, there is a separate small living room, as well as a desk and swivel chair, which is convenient for work and travel. There is a microwave in the room for heating food. The location is good, close to the subway and bus station.

The hotel is nice and the service is very good. However, the safe in the room was not working, and they never sent someone to fix it after I called to report the issue. And they said they would send someone right away after they finished dealing with an emergency. Also, parking is way too expensive. And there are no practical alternatives if you drive a car. USD 40 per night is simply a rip off.

Very good service. As soon as I entered the hotel, I asked whether the front desk could speak Chinese. As a result, Ms. Li came over and explained to us enthusiastically. The car rental also provided a great help. A little Chinese, very enthusiastic, the hotel is in Silicon Valley, everything else is good, no car would be inconvenient

We were welcomed with glasses of wine at the reception, which made my wife happy. The room with the ocean view was absolutely amazing. It has a separate shower and bath in the washroom, with generous water pressure in the shower head (which is a common issue at many hotels in America). The room service breakfast was fantastic. The dining room downstairs has yummy wagyu steak and an excellent range of wines.

Staff member who checked us in (named Fatima) was very friendly indeed. We were given a complimentary upgrade to a suite, which was huge. Sofa, dining table and kitchenette which contained a microwave, fridge and coffee machine. King-size bed was very comfortable and the sheets were very soft. Room was extremely quiet throughout the night. Shower was pretty powerful. Complementary coffee and water in the lobby.

The hotel's environment is particularly good, just 20 meters from the beach by the sea. There are few people on the beach, the sea is very wide, suitable for playing at the beach, or taking a walk. The breakfast at the hotel was good and the restaurant was very comfortable.

This hotel is worth every bit of its 4 star rating and the hotel alone I would rate a 5/5 on Tripadvisor. It has many suites with an absolutely wonderful view of the bay and small airport, especially at night. There are a ton of wonderful photo/facie opportunities from most of the hotel rooms and right across the road from the hotel. However, I dropped one rating point to give the hotel a 4/5 for a few reasons: -- Most of the local restaurants are highly overrated and over-hyped, and on top of that they are massively overcrowded at least 1/2 to 3/4 of the day. -- Most of the local shops are just about the worst mall-like beach tourist-trap shops you'll find anywhere. The first negative alone would be enough to drop 2 points from the Tripadvisor rating, but this hotel luckily has two excellent places to eat and drink right next to it, within 50 feet. One of those is a fish shack called Barbara's Fishtrap, which has vastly better seafood than any other restaurant. The other is Half Moon Bay Brewing Company, which has about a dozen excellent in-house beers available and a fairly full range of restaurant food, including more than just pub food. The exception on the second negative point above is one local shop next to the brewery, which is a nice homey privately-owned shop with interesting small items and clothes. It definitely does not have the typical beach souvenir crap, but items you won't find anywhere else. On the first negative with the local restaurants, you'd expect the in-house restaurant in a 4 star hotel (with room service) to be half-way decent, right? The in-house ”restaurant” is nothing more than a pub with pub food, exactly what the brewery next door is not. It's probably because they can't compete, but still, do something else. We walked in twice, looked around for 5 minutes, and there was nobody there either time, 3pm and 5pm. We just grabbed a menu, looked at it, and it was just random pub food that was likely all microwaved. But the room service for things like wine bottles, glasses, even champagne glasses, was all excellent, living up to any 4 star hotel. Needless to say, this hotel is great for a one-night stay on the weekend or something like that, but there really is very little to do if you stay for more than one night. And, two excellent restaurants gets old fast after two days maximum. Lots of nearby scenery if you're OK with relatively cold beaches like I am, but don't expect more than that and two places to eat.

Booked the Beach House for a solo getaway. Size of room was awesome - plenty of space for just me, and full kitchen was unexpected (two burners plus fridge/mw, and a bunch of dishes & utensils). No counter space (due to the burners), that was a drawback. Also they provide a keurig but my room had no cream or sugar and when I went to the front desk they gave me a cup of half and half! Don't they have little packets? Furniture was a bit worn but the bed was extremely comfortable and the comforter was fluffy & warm. Nice bathroom but again, not so luxurious as the description would have you believe. Booked a partial ocean view, but what I got was a parking lot view with a peek-a-boo of the bay if you stood at the slider and craned your neck. Tons of road noise too. This was disappointing, as I had been hoping to hear ocean waves. If you book this room type, specify the south side of the inn so you are not right by the restaurant next door. Continental breakfast was nice - good choices of pastries, yogurt & hot cereals. No wine reception on Sundays. While the front desk people were courteous & friendly, I felt I had to ask about every little thing. There was no amenity listing in the room or anywhere, so I had to ask: where is breakfast (it was in a meeting room one morning, the lobby another), where is the wine (it was sunday), is the pool heated, what is check-out time. Just felt a little like they assumed you'd know or wouldn't care, as opposed to other places that bend over backwards to be sure you know what they have to set them apart. It was a bit of a walk up to restaurants, which I didn't mind but just be aware. There's a very nice beach walk the other direction, but you're up on a bluff, not exactly on the sand. Next time, I'd go for the full oceanview.

Good location for overnight transit. My flight was delayed and I arrived over 12am so I couldn't get the shuttle, I took a 5 mins Uber and the distance was 29 usd. The room is clean and comfy, worthy for the price.
