8/10 Good

"Good value for the location. Room was clean and comfortable. Water pressure in shower was excellent. Staff at"

Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is getting a bit shabby, but when we discussed it with the front desk staff we were told that renovations were starting, floor by floor. We will likely stay again early next year, so hopefully the hotel will be fresher."

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Francisco Airport Waterfront

8/10 Good

"Fantastic breakfast"

The Catrina Hotel

8/10 Good

"For a motel, this is on the nicer end but don't expect hotel standards. It is true about the sensitivity of the squeaky beds, but the pillows are great. There is a mini fridge and microwave(in room), laundrymat, pet relief area, vending machines, and plenty of parking. This was my first time checking into a kiosk. It's just as similar to waiting in line to speak to someone in person. If you stay multiple days, you may need to get another code each day because it seems to reset daily. There are plenty of restaurants, bars, and a large pool hall nearby. The area is still quiet even along the busy road."

Crowne Plaza San Francisco Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great location for sfo. The bar was great to watch the game. Food was way better than expected. Service in bar area was great by Kim. Parking exit did not wotk but front desk responded well."

Crowne Plaza Hotel Foster City - San Mateo by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Muy bonito el hotel"

Hampton Inn & Suites San Mateo-San Francisco Airport

10/10 Excellent

"We visited this location for our anniversary and we loved the location, the surrounding options for entertainment and food. Crystal, our front desk concierge, was absolutely fabulous!! Any inquiry I had, she had a answer with a smile and detailed information. My only problem was the floor inside the shower gets very slippery when you use soap. My husband almost fell. Thank you for making our anniversary filled with such wonderful memories."
