While I did read the reviews, I decided to give this place a shot. It was close to work after all. Boy I really should have reconsidered. While the entry way and check in process were easy; once I got in my room and settled for bed, I wasn't thrilled. There was no temperature control and while I fiddled with... More

Just went for my sisters cheer competions and its really nice on outside but in the rooms not too good. Beds are extremely small, only 2 people can get breakfast (which is good only 10am) people were yelling at 12am ugh and pool was so packed and noisy. Never again will I go back.

I stayed at the Crowne Plaza Foster City for business and it was a real treat being here. The shuttle from the airport was completely free and almost on time to the minute which was impressive as there are about 10 different hotel shuttles coming and going from the airport stop where you wait. Some advice is not to be... More

I stayed over night here and needed some advice about where to eat. The staff gave me numerous great recommendations. The hotel was very clean and well-maintained. I happened to forget an item in my room and the manager was very helpful in insuring it was promptly and safely returned to me.

Ended up at this hotel due to a flight cancellation. The room itself was clean and normal standard. I asked specifically for a quiet room, but got one which was next to the highway. Came in late and didn't bother to go back and change room, as I thought traffic would cease during night. It didn't, so I didn't get... More

Dear LykkeBG, Thank you for your review. Our staff tries their best to accommodate room requests, although we cannot always guarantee specific room types upon check in. We are glad the Clubhouse Bistro and shuttle was of good use during your stay. Hopefully, we will get the chance to serve you again soon! Sincerely, Crowne Plaza Foster City-Management More

So the only things I really need in an airport hotel are a quick shuttle service and a good night's sleep. I got neither. After a missed flight, United gave me a voucher for the Crowne Plaza and said to go outside SFO Terminal 1 to the Hotel Shuttle stop and wait for the shuttle to come. When, after 45... More

My friend and I had an absoutly amazing stay!, The facilities are spotless and the staff was fabulous! Not only did our trip experience totally enhance the purpose of our trip to see her son compete at the Stanford invitational, it also turned out to be a wonderful girls weekend due to the wonderful Crowne Plaza!
