Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel

Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel

8/10 Good
"The hotel is a little tired both in decore and amenities. BUT, its location near the airport and its value make it a great place to stay for a short visit to the bay area or a layover. I would go back with that in mind. The free breakfast was better than most at this price point. The staff was pleasant and helpful. There is no restaurant or bar, but they provided a list of places in walking distance. Uber service to the location was good. My only issue with the shuttle is that it only runs every 45 minutes. You can plan for that when leaving but on arrivals it can be a long wait if you just miss it."

"Excelente experiencia. La suite estaba muy bonita, cómoda y limpia, y en general todo durante mi estancia estuvo estupendo. El personal fue muy amable y atento en todo momento. Mi hospedaje incluía desayuno, aunque no tuve oportunidad de probarlo porque normalmente me levantaba tarde y el horario era de 6:00 a.m. a 10:00 a.m. También cuentan con servicio de cena de 4:00 p.m. a 8:00 p.m. En general, quedé muy satisfecha con el servicio y definitivamente volvería a hospedarme aquí."

"Hotel is in excellent condition - clean, very well maintained. Guestroom was very clean; I used to work in hotels so I am trained to spot potentialissues. The staff was the highlight though - professional, friendly, thoughful. Front Desk manager Mark is a star, offered late checkout which was a lifesaver (I hadn't even thought about it). I am so glad I stayed at the Hyatt Regency."
