10/10 Excellent

I had a bit of a wait for the shuttle. Next time I would call and book their free airport shuttle as soon as I landed. Lovely cookies and friendly and helpful staff at check out and throughout. Little shop next to reception sells snacks and essentials. Short uber ride to downtown San Mateo. Small outdoor pool. Tiny gym.
