Breakfast feedback is split, with some praising hot options and waffles while others report poor variety or early cutoffs. Facilities are limited, with a closed or dry pool, paid parking, and an airport shuttle that only runs at certain hours and can be unreliable.

Bed slightly comfortable. Water in shower was nice and hot. But everything else about this particular Comfort Inn was sorely lacking for the per-night room rate. Trash bags outside the rooms for most of the day, no jacuzzi, pool out of order, run down exterior and interior. Door was not hung properly on room frame so lock was wonky.

I’m a handicapped individual with mobility issues. My room was on the second floor and I was directed to a non working elevator. When I reported it to the office I was told they knew it was not working. I told the employee that was the elevator I was sent to and they laughed and shook their head. The property was clean. The room was quiet. I had to go to my vehicle at not and felt safe. No lottering and well lit.

Waited over an hour for shuttle that was supposed to come at three different times but finally last scheduled stop was for after 90 minutes of waiting. Finally decided to take a taxi since we had to catch a flight to Spain the next day which cost $26. We also had to pay for a taxi back the next day since no shuttle operated around noon hours. Also hair dryer didn’t work and had difficulty finding how the shower worked until finally called front desk that wasn’t pleasant about giving instructions. However front desk person the next morning was very accommodating and helpful. If we didn’t have non refundable reservations for 6/15/25, I’d cancel it

Huge amount of trash in front of our room that stayed there until I asked them to pick it up from previous guests. Laundry room facilities for which I stayed there for were horrible. Washer doors didn’t close smallest washing machine I’ve ever seen double dryer. One took money, but didn’t work one did. Chargers on lamps didn’t work can’t be replaced because it’s a full panel

My sisters and I stayed here and commuted downtown via Caltrain every day. It was a very convenient and walkable distance and we didn’t feel unsafe at any point. Condition of the carpet and sheets (there were obvious holes from more than wear and tear) could be improved but overall cleanliness was good despite that. There were spiders and ants in our room, so they could use a visit by pest control. Housekeeping was consistent and refreshed by choice. Decent breakfast. They do have a shuttle to the airport but we found that Uber was quicker and more timely. They do drop off right at the front door, though! Overall, good for the value and definitely would stay again.

When we first arrived our room still had dirty sheets; however, it was quickly resolved upon our request for new sheets. The bed was fairly comfortable and A/C + heat was great. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was a highlight of our stay. The food was nutritious and filling, making our trips into the city much easier. Eggs, juice, waffles, and options for bread were all great. My only complaint was that the coffee needed better flavor. Being right next to the Caltrain station was awesome and made travel easy.

I work for a traveling bartending company and do a lot of events at cowpalace. My friend and I had a wonderful experience. Not too often you find a room that offers two king beds. Checkin staff was super nice. No ice machine on third floor (odd numbers) and second didn’t work but at least first floor worked. Water pressure was great too.

The light bulbs were half incondescent half LED, some lightings features sadly didn’t work, broken light switch plate in bathroom and the main light shone directly on the bed pillows.. only one of six USB ports working (one fixture on bedside was just a big hole to the wall..) & it was the 3rd coffee maker offered that finally worked; no coffee offered in lobby either. the breakfast was very limited and all the coffee cups were wrapped so as to make having a cup a procedure rather than a convenience; there was no snack/beverage store/stand on site. l have more, but..why not be surprised?

They don’t answer their phone at the front desk. When I got to my room, the carpet was wet and when I woke up in the morning more than half of it was soaked. When I went to the front desk about it, there was no apologies or sincerity, they just moved me (which I appreciate) but when I asked for extra towels because our previous room only had 2, they said “your new room will have towels”. Extra towels are free, I didn’t understand the issue. It took me asking twice and 2 hours to get the extra towels. While my new room had dry carpet, the toilet ran 24/7, but at the point I only had 1 more night so I gave up. When I got in the shower, I noticed that the caulking that they did around the shelves was coming off with the water, which was incredibly disturbing. Their breakfast is only 2 hours and is cold. The guy next door to my room was staring me down when I would walk in and out of the room and at one point tried to tell me I was slamming the door constantly when it was the first time I had left that morning. While that’s not the hotel’s fault, it tells you something about their clientele. This property was terrible and I will be contacting the hotel for money back.

This was adequate for a short stay. The room was clean and comfortable and they had the usual choices for a free breakfast. The hotel was across the street from a railway and the noise from that penetrated the room periodically. It was also a good walk from any place to buy food and they only had soda vending machines.

It was next to Caltrain station, which was good as I was traveling up to San Francisco everyday for a conference. Nice that they served comped breakfast. Noisy, as it is next to 101 and my room was just over the lobby that faces the freeway. Many TV channels had no sound, and I reported it and they said they were waiting for a tech. I stayed 5 nights and it was never fixed. Other than breakfast, there are limited -- or rather inconvenient -- food options. I would suggest having some snacks or something that you can get at the hotel. If you have a rental car, you can find restaurants nearby, but if you don't you need to order DoorDash or similar.
