My room is large and clean, beautiful sparkling pool and mature trees to look at on my balcony. It’s a hidden gem. Easy to get to work! Happy staff to great you. It’s my favorite Bay Area hôtel.

Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront
Great value for the money. While the property is older the rooms are well kept and the mattress/pillows/sheets top notch. The communication from the front desk above and beyond… reaching out to you to make sure everything is ok. The airport shuttle service is efficient. Would definitely stay again ...
