Hotels near San Francisco International Airport - SFO, San Francisco

This large traditional motor hotel has charming old-school bungalow-style rooms that have been refurbished with comfortable beds and pleasant decor. A three-story building with elevators houses the economy rooms to the rear of the older property. Check-in was easy, the water was hot, there was a small frig, single-serve coffeemaker and cable tv, but no microwave or smart tv. The entire place was immaculate. Free WiFi stood up to Skype but charging outlets were minimal. The main problems I encountered were some conversation and toilet noise from tenants above and an air conditioner/heater that ran so loud and switched on and off so frequently that I had to turn it off for sleep. A lovely included breakfast is served 6:00 to 9:30. The lack of an airport shuttle may be a problem but parking is also included. There is a pool and the usual ice, but the soda vending machine was inoperative. Overall a good choice for last-minute practical near-airport accommodation.

Burlingame is centrally located and made it easy to visit family who lives in San Francisco and the Bay Area. Convenient to highways and stores nearby. Nice walkable downtown with lots of stores for shopping and great eateries.

We only liked the location. The service was poor, we were not told we had to request clean sheets and clean towels and the breakfast staff stood around talking to each other instead of replenishing the hot food or clearing the tables. The only member of staff I felt was welcoming and hardworking was Ken who worked in the bar. He made us feel very welcome and chatted to all the customers.

An overnight stay is too short a time to give a decent review. However there were numerous places to eat, and supermarkets such as Safeways & Walgreens within a short walking distance. We had a great pizza from Zorba’s Pizza across the road from the hotel

Great hotel if you need to stay near the airport for an early flight. The airport shuttle was really handy, and basically runs 24 hours. The walk to the BART station and nearby food places was pretty easy, but might be difficult if you have mobility challenges. Also, one of the elevators was broken when we stayed there, so that was pretty annoying as there were a lot of people staying in the hotel. There are a couple of grocery stores nearby too, as the food and snacks for purchase in the lobby were insanely overpriced.

Even my family stayed fir only 1 night, I would say we felt very welcome to the hotel. The proximity to the airport is excellent. The view is amazing, and if you are a fan of planes, you can walk by the bay and watch those big birds arriving and departing from the airport. The room is very clean too. The breakfast is great.
