Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront

Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront

10/10 Excellent
"Try the chowder in the hotel restaurant! Very friendly staff all around. Efficient shuttle service to airport. Bathroom tub and tile in the room could use an upgrade and drain was exposed and needs a deep clean. Otherwise, great overnight stay between flights."

Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"what a great place to stay before our long international flight. the staff was friendly and helpful, the rooms were spacious and well appointed (although a bit dated - which may be a part of the charm!), and the free breakfast was a nice touch. but our favourite part was the view of the bay and watching the airplanes over the water. sitting outside in the morning as the sun was rising will always be a great memory. we've stayed at many hotels near sfo in preparation for our flights, and now we've found one we'll return to."
