Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel

8/10 Good
"Nice hotel in a convenient location and the staff was very nice. The free breakfast was a little bit of circus with hotel guests swarming the place for a relatively modest breakfast. I liked the area and free parking is nice. My one big complaint...the airport shuttle to and from the hotel seems unreliable - did not pick us up at "arrivals" had to go search for the shuttle at departures which didn't make much sense. And, it just does not run very frequently."
