Top Princeton Hotel Reviews

Hotel Aluxor SFO

10/10 Excellent

"Exterior and lobby are a little unremarkable (still totally fine) but what really matters is the rooms, which are well maintained and comfortable. Staff was nice. Slept great for an early flight out of SFO and took the provided airport shuttle. There's even a few restaurants within walking distance. Would stay again if I needed an SFO airport hotel."

Travelodge by Wyndham San Francisco Airport North

8/10 Good

"I enjoyed my stay at the Travelodge. The property is located a short distance from the airport and provides a shuttle to the property. iHOP is attached to the property and food is handy and reasonable. The room was comfortable, the shower was hot (easy step in shower) a great heat/cool unit to warm or cool the room and, best of all, the BED….it was so comfortable! Loved that bed! Very satisfied!"

The Westin San Francisco Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property, very conveniently close to the airport, great restaurant on site plus Starbucks, which was a huge hitter for us. The only issue that we had was the water temperature in our shower which I brought it to the staffs attention at checkout, it went from freezing cold to scolding Hot within seconds, there was no in between so be careful with that."
