Heating and AC worked fine. Bed was comfortable. Three chairs in the room. Had refrigerator and microwave oven that worked. Our room had a bay window that my wife really liked. Bring water unless you want to use tapwater. Shower was nice. Our room had a charger for a cell phone.

Travelodge by Wyndham San Francisco Airport North
Yes, the room was very clean that even my wife made mention of it. The staff were friendly. This was my first time staying at Travelodge so we were a bit surprised that it didn't come with a mini fridge nor microwave. But, other than that it was good, and for the price you can't beat it.

LUMA Hotel San Francisco
Very clean property, the staff was very helpful and welcoming. The room was missing a steamer/ iron but that doesn’t make or break anything. The property is next to a train line so it’s a touch noisy but overall great experience and would stay there again
