I'll never return to this hotel

I wish I had read the fine print, and that there was a $25 per night charge for parking. The hotel is in San Mateo and not San Francisco. The charge is ridiculous. I usually stay in Foster City, but I thought I would save some money. Nope -- I'm pretty sure with this parking charge -it costs about the same. Also, the shower curtain (see photo) is ripped. Surely a new curtain could have been and should have been replaced. The bottom of the bedside table has something spilled on it-- and it's never been cleaned up. I checked to see if it was easy to remove. Yep, it was easy to clean up a section of it. The freezer in the refrigerator unit is filled with ice -- no room to put anything in it.

Elevator smelled. Room bad aroma smell and given handicap room when not handicapped. Did early check in and paid the fee to get a smelly room and handicap stall restroom. 2 beds were full size not queen and not comfortable, sheets were fine and pillows. Wouldn’t stay here again. Paid for parking and found parking.

The employees were all very nice but overworked and understaffed. We were given the wrong room type at check in. The hotel restaurant was supposedly open for another 15 minutes but initially did not want to let us order any food though the front desk had told us we would be able to. Discovered that was due to there only being one person to do waitressing, take orders, bartend, cook, and then have to do closing. Inadequate number of towels and facecloths but they had no housekeeping staff in the evening to deliver to the room so we had to go down to front desk in separate building to get them. Room had silverfish in it.
