Top hotels in Downtown North

The Marina Inn on San Francisco Bay

Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel
"Staff was friendly. Breakfast was as good as expected for a free breakfast. Room was large but decor was very dated. Blanket was almost threadbare and was stained. Towels were old and very rough. Location was good for navigating the airport."

Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront
"The hotel seemed either understaffed or overwhelmed by the FAA ground stop. Room service wouldn’t answer the phone and the front desk wasn’t helpful either. Service at the restaurant bar was very slow as well. Overall the room was nice and clean."
