8/10 Good
"This hotel is perfect for getting to and from SFO airport. They have a shuttle every 15 mins. Only reason I gave it a 4 out of a 5 was the room I was given was assessable with a very odd shower. Didnt enjoy that aspect at all."

8/10 Good
"We enjoyed our stay! Traveled to SF for a Giants game and wanted a place close to both the ballpark and airport. We like the old world villa charm of the hotel. Included breakfast which was very good. Omelettes, fresh fruit, waffles and so on. And coffee cups and bowls were china. Imagine that! Small details made us appreciate this hotel. We would stay here again."
