Clean, quiet, safe inn in the middle of the Bay Area. The owner and the maid were friendly. Nothing beats the price. Highly recommend! read more

I wouldn't recommend this place. Strong musty odor, and a shower that didn't drain well. The AC blew dust directly at the bed, the floors felt chalky, and the lighting and paint were in rough shape. Sheets were okay, but towels had stains. It did have a microwave, fridge, TV, hot water, and a working AC/heater, but those don't justify the $125/night price -- especially when the Hyatt nearby was only $137 and far more comfortable. On top of that, a woman who seemed like a long-term tenant watched us so intensely that we felt unsafe and had to quickly lock ourselves in. Not worth it. read more

First of all, you need to know this is a motel, not a hotel. If you know that, then your expectations will be realistic. This is a basic, clean, simple motel. There are two sides to the motel. One side has two stories and the other side is one story. There is no elevator on the two-story side and all the rooms on both sides have outside doors. I was on the one-story side. I was a little taken aback when I saw my small room for the first time. It reminded me of the rooms when I traveled abroad. I used SnapTravel to book this room. The photos they posted were very flattering compared two what my room was actually like. It was a single room with a full-sized bed (not a queen-size). It was just me so that was fine. It's a simple room but it has what you need. There's a mini-fridge, a microwave, and a small TV with no premium channels, but still, plenty to watch. Everything worked just fine. My room did not have a closet. There was a place on the wall to hang a few things though, and there was an iron and small ironing board. See pic. There are plenty of electrical outlets on both sides of the bed. Also a handy reading light! The bathroom area was nice. It looked pretty modern. It was the best part of the room. There's just enough parking for everyone and it's on a slope. The spaces are fairly tight so a door ding is a possibility. Speaking of parking, the cars are parked just outside your room. The plus is you have a quick walk to and from your car, the downside is people endlessly idling their cars before they finally leave. Why do people have to idle their cars for so long before they leave? What a waste of fuel! The staff is really nice. It seems like a family-run business. There's no breakfast but they do provide two bottles of water and two Keurig pods to make coffee. They have WiFi but I didn't use it, so I can't comment on it. It was a clean, quiet room and at least $25 less per night than I could find at other hotels nearby such as Holiday Inn Express. If you just need a place to sleep and you'll be out and about most of the time, this place will do just fine. read more

I stayed at this place so I could be closer to my workplace for a conference they had (yes I live in the bay but the South Bay so traffic is horrible and unpredictable). Should have looked at reviews. I know this is a motel not hotel but for $120 a night or so I expected more When I turned on the ac it blew stinky air at me all night but it was hot so had to bear with it. Shampoo and conditioner unbelievably dried my hair out. They also didn't clean my room or replace the towels. I didn't have a do not disturb sign Check in was impersonal and strange too. I understand they need to check in behind a door because of Covid and safety reasons but the guy was just barking out orders and was very unfriendly read more

This is a perfect spot to stay when you've been on the road all day. The location is convenient and so is the parking. Our room was very clean and cozy. Room may be a little small if you're traveling with children. read more

This motel has a 24/7 check in policy and accepts cash and the rooms are a good deal for the money. The bathrooms are better than average and clean. It is easy to check in and check out. Free Wi-Fi and coffee. read more

This hotel had some mixed reviews, so I wanted to make sure to leave a review because I thought it was great! We stayed one night for a conference taking place down the road. It was easy to find, there was lots of parking, the hotel clerk was very friendly and informative, the rooms were remodeled and had everything one may need. The bathroom was extra spacious which was perfect for 3 ladies rooming together. The coffee-room had Keurig coffee and lots of snacks, which I thought was nice. I would highly recommend! read more

Such nice customer service and at a great price! Newly painted, clean and roomy. They have a keurig, microwave, good size refrigerator, iron with board and bottled water in the room* free wifi. Better room than the most expensive "VIP room" local Motel 6 (who doesn't even offer wifi 2.99/day no coffee in room). I would be more than happy to visit this Inn again. Mellan, the attendant was so very kind and hospitable. read more

ICK ICK ICK! No bed bugs, but small and stuffy, and stinky....this place had a small "kitchenette" attached to it, that reeked of MOLD smell. It was so gross. There was a small former refrigerator in there that was not usable (there was a newer fridge in there too), and it was rusty and stinky inside. Get the old equipment out of the rooms!!! It was minimally clean. The cheap & flimsy towel rack in the teeny-tiny bathroom was split down the middle, and held up with scotch tape!! The WIFI kept going out. The owner, Alca, wanted to be nice and friendly,, but she just couldn't. Nice try, Alca. We come to Belmont often, but sorry, we will not be back. read more

Stayed here for a week for some work. Looks like it was renovated fairly recently. Reasonably fresh paint although the ceiling was two different colors. As though someone forgot. Couldn't get consistent temperature in the shower though, either too hot or not hot enough. Constantly changing. The tv also shut off randomly. Nice touch to have the Keurig and coffee in the room along with a couple if bottle of water. Bed is comfortable and room is clean but there is no soap dish in the shower so the soap slides off the edge of the tub into the shower or in the floor. Frustrating to constantly have to pick it up. It's a bit noisy as the windows aren't very sound proof. The street traffic and train is loud. Seems ok for a quick place to stay for a day or two but any length of time isn't that great. read more

This place wasn't too bad. That rooms were a little small but they came with a keurig which was really nice and bottled water. The only things that don't make this a 5 star were the fact that the sheets are stained and it's on a fairly busy street as well as their AC doesn't really work the best. We heard cop cars go by at least 3 times a night. Other than that the rooms were clean and updated which is a plus. read more

The old saying you get what you pay for rings very true when staying at The Silicon Valley Inn. For the area, the price is good. But the noise of the Train and the main rd, (El Camino) was very loud all night. Plus the walls are very thin!! Also there is a new building being built right next door, so I was woken up very early to the noise of construction workers and trucks pounding. Free water and Keurig coffee was nice, but I would not stay there again!! read more

I booked on hotels.com. Same day I was suppose to check in, they called to confirm. I was doing some work in Stanford. I paid $130 including taxes on a weekday. VERY reasonable compared to other hotels. Stayed there June 18-19 2015. Checked in, the young girl was nice, Prompt. Lobby was clean. NO BREAKFAST, but that's fine!. Checked into my room. I was impressed. Clean, not smelly. Furniture appeared new. AC worked. TV functioned. Restroom cleaned, and shower. Water is HOT HOT HOT!. Windows had shutters. Only reason I rate it a 4 instead of a 5, I really don't know, lol. 5 to me is perfect, and its just about reasonable not pricey or fancy. I would come back for sure. OH I DID CHECK UNDER THE BED LIKE I DO AT ALL HOTELS THE BED APPEARED TO BE UPGRADED OR NEW. read more

It ain't the Ritz but it's comfortable, clean and convenient. Manager speaks english and keeps your reservation when she says she will.

Do not go to this hotel! I cancelled well within their cancellation period and they STILL charged my card and are refusing to refund it back. The woman who I spoke with Divya Patel lied twice on the phone. First, she said that she is just a worker there and then, told me that she is the owner/manager and then, when I pressed her again, she said that "no, she is just the manager." Lesson learned? When it looks too good to be true, there is something wrong. If they can't be trusted with charging your card, makes you wonder what else is going on. Needless to say, I am sticking with the name brand hotels and this place is being reported for bad business practices. read more

And YET AGAIN, another of my previous reviews got taken down. Why? This is a decent place. My only complaint was that I was not allowed to stay a week, AND I was going to get charged and penalized if I checked out early. I've never heard of that before. Otherwise the rooms are nice, is somewhat on the small side, and the walls are fairly thin as the first night I was there the guy next door had his TV on. What a jerk. I even pounded on the wall and told him to turn it down. The hot water is very hot, which is a good thing, and the bed was nice and comfortable. The employees there were exceptionally polite and professional. Again, no real negative experience here other than the first night thing, well, that and the whole not being able to stay longer and having a fine levelled if I left early. That I really don't get. Otherwise, if you need a room for a night or two, then this place is perfect. Check it out. read more

Pretty good value for the location/price. During a group convention near San Francisco we needed an affordable motel to house 10 men for 30 days and this place fit the bill. I stayed here as well and had no problems. The room is outdated for the most part, however it is very clean. Some of the rooms do have updates....for instance...tonight (I am staying here I as write this review) my room has an outdated heater, but a brand new 42" flat screen tv. The room next door has the opposite, a brand new heater, and an older tv. Most rooms here in the bay area are closer to $100 per night, however this location is $65. All and all, I would recommend if you're just looking for something inexpensive/simple/quick/clean. Also this motel has a BEAUTIFUL view at night. Noise level is not bad at all. All of these details listed above made me choose to give this motel a 5 star rating. They also have a website, which will show you photos/etc. Hope this review helps =) read more

Booked my hotel stay through yelp, input my credit card and received a confirmation for August 5th and 6th. HOWEVER on August 1, the owner of the hotel challenge the pricing and cancelled my reservation due to the price being incorrect. The owner sounds like a cheapskate and would rather lose a paying customer for a few dollars. This hotel is unprofessional, rude, inconsiderate, cheap and has inconvenienced my vacation. Owner did this at the last minute causing me to look for another hotel spending triple the amount. Now I have to do a last minute hotel search, spend more and pray that I find an available hotel near San Mateo. I will advice everyone reading this to beware of the owner and her fraudulent tactics. She doesn't care about her paying customers just her pocket book. This is not a yelp booking error because if she was nice and professional, she would of authorized the amount with our confirmation and dealt with yelp afterwards. But the cheapskate chose not to and put the burden on her customer. read more

This place was very dated crying for a remodel job for decades. This place charged twice what Motel 6 charges and about the same quality. Wash rags had stains on them; no telling where those rags had been. I would never go there again. For what they charge, they should be providing new linens for each tenant. read more

I have stayed at this hotel few times and really good place to stay since it under new management the manager is very professional, very friendly always ready to help everything is organized from the time you walk in the lobby, with the room service, and the checkout housekeeper is very friendly she does clean the rooms good before their old rooms were so dirty after the cleaning crew has done the room and they use to smell but since Alka has taken over even those old rooms are neat and clean smell good everything is organized we see them on property all day then the previous management was never out I had called in to make a reservation and Alka & Monali always answer the phone in a professional way there is always a smile in their greeting they communicate in nice way and also greet you with a smile and warmly they make you feel comfortable and not miss home that how it should be and am sure she will bring this hotel to 3 to 3/12 star if she gets support from the owners and yes they need to do make the property good from outside with lovely flowers since they have a team who is a flower and always bright and smiling, so hope they will be supported she really knows how to run a business from $60.00 a night she charges $85.00 and I don't mind paying because I see the difference in the rooms, in the hallway, in the parking lot and the lobby. Well done Alka & Monali very good team work******************************** read more

My husband and I are staying here with our two daughters ages 2 months and a year and a half for a week as my husband has work close by. Yesterday, after returning from a quick trip to Target while my husband was at work I wa surprised to see the door to our room with all of our belongings wide open. I unloaded the kids and went inside assuming it was house keeping, but the room was already clean so I waited a minute while I unloaded my purchases after about five minutes from the time I pulled up the manager/owner walked up and informed me that she was having shutters installed inside our room and so I could either leave or stay while they did it (keep in mind we were never notified a third, unsupervised party would be entering our room while we were gone or at all during our stay) I then told her I had just gotten back from being gone and I needed to change and feed my infant so I was going to stay. At this point our door had already been open for I don't know how long before I got there and I was not okay with random people in our room with our laptop and other valuables. I went in and shut the door. She came back by a couple minutes later and told me my door needed to remain open so when the workers were done with the room next door they could just come in to ours and start working. So I sat for about an hour trying to keep my toddler from running out the open door while breastfeeding my infant when in walk two workers who without saying two words to me the whole time start moving my belongings and drilling and hammering insanely loudly. Both kids started immediately screaming, my toddler was shaking and absolutely terrified. They didn't stop or even look over so i called the front desk who sent the same woman back. I told her this was unacceptable my kids were scared and she needed to tell them to stop and finish rennovating our already paid for room until we checked out. She refused telling me the workers were from LA and charging her $300 an hour. I sat there arguing with her begging her to make them halt the drilling as my kids screamed and they continued. As I was again explaining to her she left our room vulnerable to theft and if you are going to be doing rennovations to that extent you either don't sell the room or notify the purchaser at the time of booking, she opened our cabinet and started peeking in. I asked her what she was doing besides invading our privacy and she claimed she was checking to see if the room had a fridge. She sat in the room while my kids remained upset until the people finished the job then before she left tried to tell me I wasn't even supposed to be there because we "only paid for one person" even though she couldn't produce anything saying the rooms were 'single occupancy' only (which is unheard of anyways). Later that evening when my husband got off of work he phoned the front desk and told the same woman he did not want anyone else in our room until we checked out period and that we would leave our trash outside the door for housekeeping and they could knock and we would hand them our dirty towels. She ended that conversation by saying because it's a newly renovated room she wants it cleaned daily so a maid would be entering regardless of our request. DO NOT STAY HERE this place is a nightmare! read more
