Take a trip to “The Rock”, home to the infamous and abandoned island prison, and discover how it earned its reputation as a bleak and unforgiving place.
We loved the preserved historic district & the Central Park with Japanese & rose gardens plus the Arboretum. There were not too many high rises, but lovely, walkable downtown as well as pretty neighborhoods, parks, & restaurant choices.

San Mateo in generally very safe, but if you want to walk, I'd walk in the day. Also, you won't find anything to do or look at walking around that area as it's all apartments. It's for utility and right off freeway location.

Nice area but as in any city be cautious. The best part is the Hillsdale Mall.

"Spent a short night to catch an early flight from the airport at this hotel. The staff was wonderful and made an accommodation for breakfast vouchers that we were not able to utilize. The beds were comfortable and their room was spacious. Thanks for a great stay!"
