"Older, Noisy, But Decent Enough"
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 10, 2013
APompa13 | Richmond, Virginia
As other reviews have mentioned, traffic noise is a concern. It's very close to the 40 and on a pretty busy road. The rooms are a bit old and need some updating, but they're clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was good. It is in a good location with a lot of stuff nearby. Getting a 10% discount at Denny's which is right in front of the hotel is a bonus if you get in really late and don't feel like trekking too far to eat. If you're travelling on the 40 and need a pit stop for 1 night, this is a good choice. Allowing pets is another big bonus.

"Good Value"
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 10, 2013
Jainge | Marlborough, Massachusetts
I enjoyed my stay here. Everyone was really nice getting us checked in and bringing a crib up for my baby. Others complained about the noise and we were on the side by the road and never noticed anything. Our room was nice looking and looked like it had been recently updated. The only thing that looked outdated was the toilet/shower area but the bathroom vanity area was nice. Breakfast was just meh. Not a lot of options, but it shares a parking lot with Denny's so it would be easy to go there. My only complaint is that our toilet ran constantly so we had to listen to that all night. Otherwise everything was good!

"Convenient, but LOUD."
2 of 5 stars Reviewed Apr 30, 2013
Bikerbill7 | Naperville, IL
I have to echo Alexandra's review. San Mateo is VERY LOUD. There's a traffic light at the corner, where trucks, motorcycles, and passenger vehicles with bad exhast systems are loud as they pull away from the light. Tuesday morning is garbage pickup - also loud. Exterior looks outdated, but rooms are comfortable. Our first room had an issue with the TV, but the front desk assigned another, better room. Very close to I-40, but never heard that traffic.

Never disappointed ! Good location near I-25 and I-40. Beds are always great as well as showers.They are very friendly and take walk ins without raising the rate. Valve is excellent and property is clean and safe. I will stop again when traveling thru the area.
