Pleasant stay in Foster City
Had a great experience checking in and Glen was very helpful. Breakfast buffet was great and even had some Asian congee available as well. We had a very responsive waitress. Would have been nice to get a better view from my room but still a great hotel. Also learned that they have a nightclub on the weekends as well.
