Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront

Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront

10/10 Excellent
"I stayed here for business and pleasure and it was very nice. I got a room with a view of the water and the airport and just loved every minute there. The front office staff were the nicest people I have ever met and the housekeeper was great as well. We did not have our room cleaned but when I asked her for anything, she was amazing. We stayed in room 1308 so shout out to the person working on that floor because it looked great and she was super sweet. I will definitely stay here again when I come back for work. Also, the restaurant was great!!"
