What guests think

Across many reviews, Residence Inn by Marriott San Francisco Airport San Mateo stands out for spacious, apartment-style suites with kitchens, friendly staff, and a convenient, generally quiet location near SFO and shopping, delivering good value for longer or family stays.

Complimentary breakfast is frequently praised for variety and quality, though a few guests found it basic or poorly replenished, and weekend start times can be later. Rooms are widely described as clean, spacious and comfortable, but some note thin walls or upstairs footfall, occasional wear or odors, and dated touches. Amenities like the pool, fire pit, grills and a small gym are appreciated, and there is a daily parking fee that some didn't expect. Overall, it suits travelers seeking space and convenience over luxury.

Great place to stay if you need a kitchen and a little bit of extra space. Clean and comfortable. Friendly staff. Comes with breakfast. Parking can be tight. It's easy to miss the entrance so go slow and be aware as you approach or you'll have to go to the next light and come back around.

Everything has been amazing so far. The amenities are great. Breaking is delicious with a variety of hot foods. We have used the pool, fire-pit, laundry services. The staff is very attentive and friendly. It’s been a wonderful experience so far.

Beds were comfortable. Price was very affordable. In terms of amenities, breakfast was fine but not outstandings. Basketball court could be in better shape. Was surprised by the quietness of the rooms given the proximity to the highway. Would absolutely stay here again, very convenient to SFO and other important areas

Excellent stay. Staff was very accommodating, we did have a leak in our room and had to move but the staff especially James, I believe his name was, made sure we were situated in our new room. Im not usually impressed by hotel stays but this was an impressive experience. Breakfast was great with a variety of food. We used the grill by the pool, fire-pit and gym. There is plenty to do in the area and close to the airport.

Excellent experience. Room was spacious and had all the amenities you could want (kitchen, dish wear, desk, living room, etc). We just were staying for the night because we had an early morning departure from SFO. Perfect location. Not a very long drive to the airport (15 minutes) and location felt safe and secure. Room was clean and comfortable. The cost was way below hotels closer to the airport. Will definitely be our go to for when we have early flights from SFO.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Residence Inn San Mateo. The room was super spacious and had everything I needed—full kitchen, comfy bed, and a nice little living area to relax in. It felt more like an apartment than a hotel room, which was perfect for winding down after a busy day. The staff were friendly and helpful, always greeting me with a smile. Breakfast was solid with plenty of options to start the day. The location worked out great too—close to the airport and easy to get around town, but still quiet enough to feel relaxed.

We enjoyed our stay. It was a home away from home. Full kitchen, couch, comfy berms, and nice bathroom. It was nice and quiet. Our only issue was that house keeping knocking more than once twice and one of them almost walked into our room without permission. Check out is at 12 noon. The first house keeper knocked at 9:30 am and the second at 11:00 am. That was very unprofessional. There also was no do not disturb sign. That would be helpful.

This is usually one of our favorite places to stay. This time after checking in our card key would not open our door, after walking all the way back to office we were given another but still had trouble opening it the whole stay. The breakfast is usually great but when we came with still 1/2 an hour before it ended there was pretty much nothing left ! They slowly would refill a couple things but a lot of other guests were still arriving behind us. Poor planning on the staff especially on a weekend. Also I was upset that they didn't let us know they are now charging a $10 parking fee, they just billed me for it.

We stayed at this hotel for two nights. The check in process went smoothly, had a nice quiet room, and breakfast was a typical hotel breakfast. Our issue occurred when our flight was changed to an hour and a half earlier. We grabbed our daughter from bed and hustled out the door. We quickly stopped by the front desk to see if we could grab a milk for our one year old daughter so she had something for breakfast. The young girl working the desk was very unprofessional and rude. She said “well sorry breakfast is closed.” We stated we didn’t need breakfast just if she could go upstairs and grab us a milk for our daughter, we even offered to pay for it, and once again she said “nope sorry upstairs is closed right now.” I asked if she knew someone who had a key and she said “nope we do not have a key for upstairs and breakfast is closed right now.” All she had to do was apologize and say unfortunately they couldn’t do that for us, but it’s how horrible she treated us and did not show hospitality at all. Outside of that experience we had a good time, but that interaction really left a sour taste in our mouth.

My first room had a broken heater that was stuck on so I had to move rooms a bit late at night but was grateful for the option. As a person staying here without a car, it's a little tricky to get around as there is no sidewalk directly leaving the hotel. You have to walk around the parking lot to find a gate in the corner that drops you onto a roadway to cross to the sidewalk. The room is comfortable and the shower has good pressure. I didn't cook but it was nice to have a fridge for leftovers and microwave to reheat.
