6/10 Good

The hotel is just a block away from the start of Downtown San Carlos
Edward, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location always a nice etay
Victor, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was clean, and the staff was very courteous and helpful. I wish I had known that housekeeping was only offered if requested. Also, it would’ve been nice to have a hook on the bathroom door or somewhere in the room to hang up my robe. But for the price, it was very reasonable and sufficient.
Lori, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location. Clean. This isn’t a fancy hotel (gym, cafe, etc), but it checks all the boxes for a nice clean safe place at a reasonable price.
Tony, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was fine for an older motel, better than a motel 6. The location in San Carlos is surrounded by silicon valley so you got Menlo Park is a few minutes away Palo Alto isn't far San Jose and it's really cute Little Saigon district is lots far at all. I had pho in Little Saigon and then headed to the motel and got a good night's sleep. The shower was by good temperature and water pressure and for the money it was great value. The level of service by the family of managers was just great. I arrived a little late, perhaps a little after 11:00, and they weren't cranky.
Mark, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This was our first time here (visits to Stanford Medical). We chose this hotel because it was $100 cheaper than the place we normally stay. It was very basic but suited our needs.
Sonja, 1-night trip

Lia Hotel delivers every time! Clean, good shower pressure, microwave, fridge, and parking included.

Okay property for the area. Price seemed a bit high for the quality, but the location was good and price was okay for the zip code.
Thomas, 1-night trip

Sink was falling off the wall, poorly maintained. Sheets and bed linens appeared to be clean...this is about the best I can say about this place.
