I decided it was best to park on the roof and take the escalator down to ground level.....right to the restaurant! While I was there, I walked around to see what the indoor mall was like. It's a nice shopping mall with a variety of shops, restaurants, and services. The North Mall has a huge "Dining Terrace" which includes an outdoor patio with fire pits. I like the hand washing area. I heard stories that the owners of the mall want to tear down the enclosed mall and build a mixed use open air mall. The plan is yet to be approved. I like Hillsdale Mall the way it is.

Title: Absolutely disgusting -- do not come here I can't…read morebelieve how dirty and poorly maintained this mall is. The visitor seating area next to Foot Locker smells like throw-up, and the carpets and seats are stained and grimy, like they haven't been cleaned in months. All of the trash bins outside are constantly overflowing, and you can find trash and debris scattered everywhere, which makes walking around gross and unpleasant. During Christmas, the Santa chair for photos is black, sticky, and completely gucky, making what should be a fun experience with kids feel disgusting. The overall smell, dirt, and lack of maintenance make this mall feel unsafe and unhygienic -- honestly, I would never come back and would warn anyone I know to avoid it.

I had a very poor customer service experience at the Francesca's in San Mateo, CA on December 30,…read more2025, around 6:40 PM. I came in to return two dresses that did not fit. Both items were unworn, had tags attached, and I had the original receipt. The associate assisting me, Ashley (Associate ID 224228), aggressively attempted to refuse the return, stating that I needed the original card used for purchase. When I asked where this requirement was stated in the return policy, she could not provide an answer and continued responding in a hostile manner. After an uncomfortable back-and-forth, the return was eventually processed. At the end of the transaction, she told me to make sure I brought my original card next time. When I replied "sure," she responded, "don't you sure me." I was extremely taken aback by this comment. When I mentioned that I had never had this issue at Francesca's before, she continued to imply that I was the problem. This interaction was completely unacceptable. Regardless of the situation, customers should be treated with basic courtesy and respect. Unfortunately, this experience has left a very negative impression of this location. Overall, I would encourage higher management to review these yelp reviews carefully as there truly appears to be a clear trend of unpleasant customer interactions with this particular store. No one should have to feel this way, it's not okay.

Shoutout to Belinda (manager) who helped me out--she seriously knew everything about the store like she's been there forever.

I saw the cutest pants but they didn't have my size at the store, so I figured I'd call a couple weeks later to see if they had any in stock again. The phone rings but no one ever answers. It's not super convenient for me to drive from Foster City to San Carlos for one pair of pants lol, maybe no one is answering my call because of my Fresno area code? Felt like after I called a second time it was intentionally sent to voicemail. Wanted to shop locally but found the pants online for exactly what I would have paid to them. Update: really impressed by the responsiveness from the owner and the ability to acknowledge shortcomings while providing alternative options to contact them. This just shows it's a much better shop than I initially thought.

I first went here during Xmas 2024 to find a couple pairs of shoes as gifts. Obviously, it was busy for the holidays, but being unbelievably understaffed, I felt for them at first. There were at least 50-60 customers and ONE girl on the floor one of the days. However, a short time in you realize it's due to ALL the employees lack of social skills, and just pure laziness. I was in three times during the holiday week, and it was the same every time. No one greets you. You have to literally badger them to check stock. They just use their little scanner on the shoe, then walk away with no words said. After 15 plus minutes of waiting (no lie), no one will come back. IF they do, it will be the wrong size. 90% of the time, I had to ask multiple times if they were looking. Place is an absolute joke. So, I chalked it up to the holiday rush...until this week. I went in now a fourth time for an exchange. The exact shoe and size was literally on display. Of course, now not busy, still no one greets you. The employees just walk around the store looking like zombies. Like, can they even talk? I actually wonder. Anyway, kid takes the shoe after we told him we just need the other one to this pair. We waited for over 20 minutes. He finally emerged from the back, but just walked right past us with no shoe(s). I confronted him again, and it was like he was just seeing me for the first time again. At this point, I was just befuddled. He said they don't have it. I stated that I literally gave him the right shoe in the size, and he just needed to get the left one. He didn't say a word, and just walked away. At this point, I went to the cashier (who looked annoyed af in general) and told her we were trying to exchange but were waiting. No actual help was given. We told another employee what we needed, but they disappeared to the back and never came back. At that point, we returned the shoes with no exchange and said f*** this place. My girl and I were just in utter disbelief. Again, this was 4/4 times I have gone in here. That's a pattern, not just bad timing. I'm really surprised this place is still in business leaving so much money on the table. Stock is nice and the store is clean, but I'll never go back here.
