Top San Mateo Hotel Reviews

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent
"Had a very pleasant two night stay. Staff was very helpful. Room was clean and the bed was amazing. We appreciated the coffee kiosk in the lobby; it was surprisingly good and very convenient. Only complaint was the noise from outside all night (window open because no ac) but there were Earplugs in the drawer which helped a little. Would definitely stay here again."
