Verified Reviews of Crowne Plaza Hotel Foster City San Mateo by Ihg

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Best place to dance the night away, have fun and enjoy! "
Overall Score5.0/ 5
Having held numerous parties at this hotel's cafe bistro, we've found the waitress and the two friendly young men to be attentive to our needs. We are happy to say this is the place to hold any occasion whether it's a birthday party, wedding, family/friends gathering. This is the best place to go and dance your night away and just have fun and enjoy. No complaints. Good food and great desserts.
