Bel-Mateo Motel

When I worked summers in the area for Ferry Morse Seed, I stayed here because it was affordable. It is not the greatest place and the staff were prickly, but the view was amazing and having The Van's Restaurant (now closed) right above was just incredible. I would stay for about two months, so when I first checked in, I would thoroughly clean the room spotless like my own home. I would even rent a carpet cleaner and move the bed and everything. I just loved coming back to my room at sunset with the fog rolling in and doing my paperwork while looking out over the Bay view. Then going up to The Van's for dinner. I miss all that terribly.

Stephanie at the front desk is a "breath of fresh air". I would go back just to see her again. If all motels had a Stephanie working for them, they would all be better off. Thanks Steph! You really went out of your way to make my stay memorable.
