We typically try to stay at a Best Western if we can, wherever we travel, because it's typically a clean and comfortable room at a competitive price. The San Mateo Coyote Point Inn (CPI) fits the bill. It's a little difficult to find (and exit), even if you think you know how to get there. It's signage is also not particularly well lighted at night. I highly recommend a voice directed GPS system if you have it. We regularly travel to the Palo Alto area, where room costs are absurd, no matter the quality. So we've stayed at BW everywhere from Gilroy to Santa Cruz to save the cost of a nice dinner out each night while visiting other areas. The CPI is reasonable priced, probably because of its out-of-the-way location. The CPI is immediately adjacent to the Hwy. 101 freeway, and I was concerned about noise. However, they've done a nice job of soundproofing and noise wasn't a problem. Just to be safe though, I'd suggest a room as far from the freeway as is available. The CPI is clean, reasonably new, and well maintained. The room was clean and comfortable, and even had a couple of HBO channels included with regular programming. Staff was pleasant and helpful. The complimentary breakfast was standard fare but offered everything you might want to get you on your way. less
