    Decent stay

    As a few others have mentioned, there is no grass available for pets. They do have an area with mulch, but it is something to be aware of if you have a picky pottier. The room was clean and well furnished. The water pressure for the shower was very poor and the second floor was quite creaky when the guests above were moving or walking. They also charged me two separate pet fees at check in, so be attentive. The location was very convenient and easy to access the interstate, stores, gas, and food options. I would stay here again if needed, but I would not go out of my way to do so. I would suggest it in a pinch, but my experience was nothing to write home about. There was nothing explicitly negative, just a few things to be aware of. I would give it 4/5 stars if it was not a pet friendly hotel.

    Close to highway

    San Mateo Inn is a clean and comfortable stay. The hosts were pleasant and although traffic from the road tended to be loud at times, it was a good location. The only reason I didn’t give 5 bones is because all of the dog areas were either rock or mulch, not a single scrap of grassy area. I would suggest at least a small area of grass or even just some turf. Besides that, it was a good value.

    Easy on/off freeway

    Clean rooms and nice people checking you in. Not really a big place for doggos to go potty. Very small area and no grass if that makes a difference to your dogs. No breakfast but lots of coffee when you want. Denny's right next door. I would do again just because.

    Great Location

    Easy access to freeway. Rooms had been remodeled and they were clean. Front desk was very friendly. Noisy street out front of hotel.

    Great pet areas

    Plenty of lit pet areas so you can pickup your dog’s business immediately after dark.

    All the Basics

    This hotel has been completely renovated. Has 24-hour on-site security and we felt very safe. Great place for our large dog. Pet area is small but adequate. Has a Denny’s next door. Nothing fancy but clean and nice.

    Would stay here again

    Pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this place! The bed was comfortable and bug free, and the rooms were really clean. Looks like they recently updated the rooms with parquet and modern amenities. The pet relief area is small but cute and gets the job done. It’s a wood chip square with plenty of things to pee on and a poo bag station. Overall would highly recommend!

    Super Friendly Staff

    San Mateo Inn was great! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and comfy. Easy access to both food for dinner and coffee and breakfast for an early departure. We'll definitely stay here again!

    Reasonable accommodations

    Staff very helpful and Leon went out of his way to get us another room as we had no ability to secure our door with the deadbolt. Limited green space for dogs but doable. Great for overnight. Access going east tricky. Clean, comfortable rooms, bed comfy, bathroom clean. Appreciated the cold bottled water on arrival. Nonsmoking motel but cigarette smoke lingers in air outside.

    Friendly Staff

    Great, friendly staff. Room was good, comfortable bed. Dog walking area a bit small, but worked. Would stay there again.

    Great Stay

    My kids and I loved this place! Everything was clean, we were greeted with chocolates on the bed, and the employees were friendly. The pet area is on the small side but considering most places don’t have pet areas we were happy with it. We would definitely stay here again if we came through.

    Needs a better relief area

    Nice staff and room, they were very kind. The only problem is that everyone with a pet was looking for a place for their dog to go to the bathroom. Suggestion: get some artificial turf. Pet grade would cost about a thousand but give big relief to customers! Good luck! We loved this place!

    Great Value

    It’s not the most opulent place but it was a great value for the money. Backed my truck right up to the door, clean room, pet friendly. I got a quiet night's sleep. It was everything I needed.

    Wonderful Experience!

    Check-in went well, even had dog treats for our fur baby! Motel is older, but our room was clean and but was comfy enough for one night. Hot water takes a few minutes to arrive to your shower, but they tell you that in a note by the light switch to the bathroom, so we let it run a few minutes and it worked just like they said it would. Decent area for walking the dog, no grass but you are in the desert, so I didn't expect any. Neighborhood is not the greatest, but I didn't feel worried taking my dog out, there was sufficient lighting, and they were fenced in all the way around the building, only way one in and one way out. I would stay there again.

    Greta staff

    Although the room was not refurbished the STAFF HERE IS EXCEPTIONALLY GREAT! My rental truck broke down and they were able to extend my stay. I’d come back for their hospitality!

    Postage stamp size doggie area

    As an inexpensive motel the rooms are OK. The dog area and smoker’s area are one 12’ x 20’ patch of bark chips. Smokers can relax while your dog does it’s business right in front of them. The surrounding area has street people nearby. Walking after dark would not be wise.

    5 Bones!

    This place is very nice, dog areas are clean and stocked with poop bags. The room was also very clean and had quality linens and bathroom towels unlike what I see in other less expensive hotels’ dog friendly rooms. There is also a fence going around some of the property to keep non-patrons out of the parking lot. I would stay here again for sure, the value for the quality is excellent.
