Best Western Inn & Suites San Mateo - San Francisco Airport

10/10 Excellent

"good stay"

Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, reasonably priced, nice location, near airport."

Courtyard San Francisco Airport Burlingame

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were courteous and very accommodating. The room was tidy. However we're not able to use the shuttle to the airport as it service starts at around 5pm but we need to go to thr airport at 4am for our flight back to Canada."

Crowne Plaza San Francisco Airport by IHG

8/10 Good

"Property is outdated and need some better cleaning. Room was fine but noisy."

The Catrina Hotel

8/10 Good

"Everything was clean except there were several long dark hairs on the floor. It was convenient to the SF airport. My only complaint is that I tried to call several times in the few days prior to my arrival to confirm and all I got was a recording saying that the phone number didn’t accept incoming calls and this was from the link on their website so I was getting a little nervous. I ended up having to call their parent Company to confirm my reservation. I mentioned this at check-in, and apparently they have a bot that answers most of their calls, but only during certain hours. I did not find that a satisfactory explanation. Although than that, it was a great place for a quick overnight before flying out of San Francisco. We had dinner at Jack’s down the street and it was delicious with a great menu."

Extended Stay America Suites San Francisco San Mateo SFO

8/10 Good

"Staff was great A/C was great Room floor was dirty and in our 10 day stay no one came to clean the room Breakfast was Coffee and snacks- no real breakfast!"
