The Catrina Hotel

The design was beautiful but not necessarily helpful. For example, sink in bathroom was visually stunning, but occupied almost all the space, leaving no room for products. The sleeping space again great to look at but short of plugging locations for charging. The dog walking space, not very appealing, with astro turf. The A.I. approach was a little bit off putting because there were no instructions and A.I. check in became difficult. When human replaced checking, he was cold, indifferent, and not becoming. Parking spaces were too narrow, making loading hard. Fabulous looks, unfortunate, didn't make for a charming experience.

The hotel was alright, nothing fancy. The room was small, but clean. There was a nice young man working the front seat and he was very pleasant. He recommended places for dinner and other places of interest.

Bed frame was so loud even when just trying to sit on it, the mattress was generic and not really comfy. Our ac unit did not turn on, over all it looks like a really nice small room but definitely can tell some parts needed to be fixed. It’s a modern look but cheap feel. If you’re looking for a spot just to stay for the night then this is the place.

We had a wonderful, short trip and stay at the Catrina. They were very accommodating; they had a nice little dog relief station, room was modern and clean. We would definitely stay again.

The Catrina Hotel is a great place to stay on El Camino Real in San Mateo for its reasonable price and the amenities in the room. There were issues, of course. Our room, 104 had insufficient lighting in the room, and only one bedside lamp and even though the bed was comfortable, it was on this frame that had metal sides and if you tapped them with you foot, the each sounded like thunder! But we got used to it and would stay there again.
