Sonesta Select San Francisco Airport Oyster Point Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Nice customer service, bed was comfortable, room was clean. Nice walking area at night. "

Hilton Garden Inn San Francisco Arpt North

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and comfortable. The beds were a little older but still slept well and the bedding was great. Bathroom had been remodeled in past 2years or so and had great water pressure which is hard to find in California. Staff was very nice and accommodating when we had questions. It was also only a 15min drive into the heart of the city because it is right off the 101 & 280. We will definitely stay here again when back in the area. Thank you!"
