Maple Tree Inn

Maple Tree Inn

10/10 Excellent

Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront

Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront

8/10 Good
"It was a good location to the airport, they have airport shuttle every 30mins (check with front desk about running hours) there was a coffee shop within walking distance. The parking was 40$ a night. When you check in I had to pay a 100$ a night as a deposit. They have a microwave you can use. Very close to Burlingame, with local shops and eatery. We took uber into the city for the two nights we were there. It was quiet and for the price it was decent clean. Not like an upscale hotel but decent clean enough."

Half Moon Bay Lodge

Half Moon Bay Lodge

8/10 Good
"We had a nice clean room, and the staff was readily available to answer questions and be helpful. We stayed from Friday to Sunday and it was a nice weekend. I was pleasantly surprised as the breakfast was very good- including hot sausages, scrambled eggs, waffles- not the “continental breakfast” which typically means Danishes, bagels, and coffee. My only complaint would be that the Keurig machine did not work in our room. It also would’ve been nice if there was a microwave oven. The location was close to beaches and town. Also next door is Half Moon Bay Joe’s which is connected to the Original Joe’s in Westlake, one of my favorite restaurants. That was a little bonus."

"I stayed here when I traveled into town for work. The daily breakfast was great to start my day with. Plenty of parking. The pool looked great- although I didn’t have time to take a swim. The room was pretty big and included a small fridge and microwave which was very helpful for me."
