Redwood City Hotels

The Courtyard is the second Marriott hotel in Redwood City, open late 2016; a substantial, upscale property of 177 rooms and an attached garage, occupying a relatively small site beside the Bayshore Freeway, overlooking Redwood Creek - about half way (7 miles) between San Mateo and Palo Alto. The road past the hotel continues a short distance to the Bair Island Marina, while elsewhere in the vicinity are some dealerships and apartments; the nearest shops and restaurants are about one mile away, on the far side of the freeway. The main facilities at the Courtyard are a restaurant/bar (open for breakfast & dinner), 24 hour business & fitness centers, meeting space and an outdoor pool. Nine accommodation types are available, including studio suites and extended stay suites.

Near the middle of Redwood City by the busy junction of highways 82 (El Camino Real) and 84, the Holiday Inn Express offers good value accommodation with friendly staff and 62 large, comfortable rooms (containing microwave & refrigerator) linked by interior corridors. The main road passes plenty of fast food restaurants nearby, closest being Wendy's right next door, though free hot breakfast buffet is available at the hotel. The only leisure amenities is a small fitness center.

On 5th Avenue by the junction with El Camino Real, the Best Western Executive Suites in Redwood City has 29 one-bedroom, two-bedroom or Jacuzzi suites, all containing a microwave & refrigerator, and some with a full kitchen. The three main amenities are an exercise room, spa and free continental breakfast - in common with many hotels in this area there is no swimming pool. Restaurants within one block include Jack in the Box, Dominos Pizza and La Roca.

The 31 room Best Western Inn Redwood City lies towards the north side of town, a mile or so from the neighboring district of San Carlos and 24 miles south of downtown San Francisco. This is one of dozens of smallish hotels along Highway 82 through Silicon Valley that offer a generally similar standard of accommodation though in this case the amenities are above average, with an on-site restaurant, and a nice outdoor pool, located at the rear, away from the main road. The inn serves the familiar free continental breakfast.

Like most hotels in Redwood City, the Days Inn is situated along busy El Camino Real, though the property is set back 200 feet, behind a furniture store, and so offers quiet, peaceful accommodation. Rooms are in two blocks separated by a courtyard garden with gazebo, outdoor pool & patio, and all the site is lined by mature, shady trees. Other facilities are a sauna, fitness center and meeting space. Free continental breakfast is provided. All guest rooms have a microwave and refrigerator.
