Foster City is a great area. Safe, quiet, nice people. I like this hotel because there is a bar/restaurant that has decent food. It’s nice to be able to grab a drink and not have to drive.

The positives about this hotel are that there is free parking, close to the freeway and shopping and restaurants and there is a bar/lounge in the hotel. Had a great time there. This was my first and last time staying here though. The walls are thin and can here the room above us. The cleaning crew were very loud and the guests in the morning. The shower head was too low and the pressure too hard. Too expensive to stay here. Will be staying in another hotel.
