Embassy Suites by Hilton San Francisco Airport Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"It was great experience staying at this hotel. View was mind blowing. Staff was very friendly."

Grand Hyatt at SFO

10/10 Excellent

"This was one of the most unique and beautiful airport hotels I’ve ever stayed at. If you are an aviation enthusiast, I highly recommend getting a room on one of the top floors with an airport view. There are a little pair of binoculars for use, which were great. But if you are there for the airport, jet experience, I would highly recommend that you bring a better pair that you probably have at home. I have zero complaints about my stay. I was there with my daughter and we had an absolute blast watching the jets, planes and all the activity that goes on at San Francisco, airport. The air trams from the hotel to the airport terminals were fantastic! It was just a short ride and very, very convenient. Our room was very, very nice. It was absolutely perfectly clean, comfortable and very quiet. Even though you are practically in a hotel that’s on the airport grounds, we did not hear the loud noises from the jets and the other vehicles below us on the airport tarmac. I can’t say enough about how great this hotel is! Sure, it’s a little bit pricey for a room with a view of the airport, but well worth it!"

Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay the night if you have an early flight the next morning. Shuttle service was very convenient and the driver was great. Restaurant was good but the TVs had no sound and was hard to watch the sports without sound but it was company policy. Overall a great stay!"
