8/10 Good

"Initial room was not great, but after upgrading got a better one."

Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport

8/10 Good

"We checked in for one night due to our flight being canceled. Check in was great. Room was great, had a great view of the airport runway. Had dinner at the hotel restaurant, staff there not so friendly. Seemed the staff did not want t to be there, no greeting, was sat at the table. Waiter who grabbed the order too was not pleasant whatsoever. Bed was comfortable, wish the pillows were a little firmer. All in all good hotel. Will stay there again maybe not visit the restaurant. Oh, one thing I forgot there is a sign for the red in the lobby with QR code for the menu. Does not work and the one I found was old. That menu does not match the one at the restaurant including prices. I recommend someone check it out. Another thing i’d like to point out is, do not let the concierge tell you that he can call the cab for you as it’ll be cheaper than getting an uber and he knows this guy . The cab driver charged us double the amount that uber was charging."

Half Moon Bay Lodge

8/10 Good

"Great location and very nice staff. The hotel is definitely getting older and could use a facelift. We had a room with a fireplace and the hotel provided a bag which you lit to make your fire. Could have used some fireplace tools for that moment when the burning pieces fell out of the fireplace. The “breakfast” provided was really not great and the coffee was really sad. Beautiful setting though."
