Room wasn’t ready for check in time at 3, after I called to ask if we could check in early and was told yes. Then the pool was out of service and that was why we booked here. And it had a funky smell in the lobby. Maybe from a pond located there. Didn’t stay. Booked elsewhere.

Pleasant stay in Foster City
Had a great experience checking in and Glen was very helpful. Breakfast buffet was great and even had some Asian congee available as well. We had a very responsive waitress. Would have been nice to get a better view from my room but still a great hotel. Also learned that they have a nightclub on the weekends as well.
