The 45-room Stone Villa Inn San Mateo is a decent, no-frills, motel-like property near downtown San Mateo. The rooms are hit or miss -- some are cozy, clean, and appear recently remodeled, while others are shabby, lack a proper desk, and have stained linens and hard mattresses. The spacious closets and free Wi-Fi are a plus, but the tube TVs and tiny bathroom countertops need to go. The inn offers a free continental breakfast, but it’s just the basics: cereals, bagels, milk, coffee, and juice. Luckily a number restaurants are nearby, so dining options aren't terribly limited. There's no pool or fitness center, but extremely low rates may be all a traveler wants -- making Stone Villa Inn a so-so option for value.

The 150-room Hilton Garden Inn San Mateo is a mid-range chain hotel primarily built for business travelers. It’s a 15-minute drive from San Francisco International Airport (free shuttle service is provided until late at night), and it has a number of meeting rooms, a 24-hour business center, and coin-operated washer/dryers for those on longer trips. Rooms are bland but well-equipped, with flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffeemakers. Some, however, are in need of a few updates. The outdoor pool and whirlpool are small, as is the fitness center, but they’re all nice perks for those who need a break from work. The restaurant serves decent local and international cuisine for all three meals, and offers free Starbucks coffee every morning. Travelers on a tighter budget may want to consider the Stone Villa Inn San Mateo – San Francisco SFO.

This historic bed and breakfast features just four cozy rooms, outfitted with features such as walls full of books, fireplaces, hardwood floors, and chandeliers. But some guests complain of worn linens and lack of modern amenities. There is free Wi-Fi in the inn -- and wood-paneled rooms and a small library evoke the pleasures of times past -- but some quirks exist here, such as a room with a detached bathroom, and limited breakfast selections.
