Very clean; all staff are very courteous, conscientious and helpful. They aim to please, going the extra mile. My company allows me to choose any local motel, and I choose them. I’ve stayed at the others in the area, but they don’t compare, not even close.

This hotel has recently been completely renovated. The exterior doesnt do the new interior justice. Rooms are nicely appointed with great LCD TVs, satellite channels, comfy bedding. Breakfast is very good, and the staff is fantastic.

The room was freshly renovated and everything felt updated and new. Huge 42" HDTV with the most channels I have ever had in a hotel...sadly, no HBO. Access and parking were easy and convenient. I didn't have the complimentary breakfast, but it looked good and standard from what I saw. Free (unlimited??!!) chocolate chip cookies in the afternoon were great.... More

This is my second stay at Country Inn/suites San Carlos. Very comfortable beds, and "roomy room". The staff attention is superior front desk to houskeeping. The breakfast was VERY good with choice of eggs, potatoes, suasage/bacon, french toast and cereals. Good start to the day. My room faced the train tracks BUT did NOT notice any noise. I highly recommend... More

This is a nice hotel. We had a large, attractive, comfortable room with new furnishings including a big flat screen TV. A room not quite as large as you might find in some of the newest hotels but very nice. The wifi in our room was a bit flaky but nothing to complain about and there were areas in the... More

I stayed at this particular Country Inn & Suites for three nights on business. The room was comfortable and clean, and the although the property is very near the 'Cal-Train' tracks, noise is not a problem. Lastly, the complimentary breakfast was great with a wide selection of hot, cold, and pastry options.

We stayed here 4 nights (I only stayed 3 because I was in the hospital 1 night). We asked for a quiet room not near the train or right on the road and were accommodated. The rates for Sequoia Hospital were very reasonable. Room was standard but very clean, not too small (2 queen beds), and beds were comfortable. Staff... More

The location was excellent, but what impressed me the most was the condition of the room. It did not feel like I'd overpaid, which is always a lovely first impression :) The rooms are a little smaller than I'm used to, but it did not lack in comfort because of this. The selections made during recent renovations and upgrades to... More

Rooms look recently renovated and well appointed for the standard of hotel but there are a few little things with the fundamental building structure that push the grade down a little such as the sound insulation between rooms, even after a long flight i was woken in the night and ended up spending the early hours listening to the neighbours...

We had reservations here for our wedding reception in January. Somehow, there was a mix-up with our reservation, and we were confirmed for the weekend before our planned stay. I learned about the mix-up after receiving e-mail that we'd been charged a no-show fee. My wife called the hotel to resolve the mix-up, and let them know we were actually... More
