Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was great and friendly. We were able to check in early before we attended a wedding later in the day. Room was clean, comfortable bed and pillows. Bathroom could have been renovated with a few cracked tiles in floor and scuff marks on walls but otherwise clean."

Crowne Plaza San Francisco Airport by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, a bit outdated but with all the necessary amenities. Restroom fan was no working, but that was not important for us. Parking was not great since the parking lot was full everyday. Breakfast was complimentary for only 2 people per booking, which was okay since the buffet rates were not bad. A little more variety on bread and eggs would’ve been good since the food was not something someone who is diabetic or with health issues could eat. In the afternoon, the restaurant staff was not so attentive. My husband went to watch a game and sat at the bar for 20 mins and no one came to offer a menu or drink, which was disappointing."
