Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was pleasant."

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in this hotel to stay in a different are of SF and away from the tourist trap of Union Square. The location on Van Ness is great, it is walking distance to many restaurants, and super easy bus ride to China Town and Union Square if you feel you need to visit ( Buses 1 and 2). I would definitely stay here on my next trip to SF."
