Maple Tree Inn

Maple Tree Inn

8/10 Good
"Clean room and good air conditioning however there is no fan in the bathroom so it gets steamy quickly, breakfast was mediocre and you have to pay an additional $10 per night per vehicle for parking which is a bit ridiculous. Elevator safety permit expired in 2025"

DoubleTree by Hilton San Francisco Airport North Bayfront

DoubleTree by Hilton San Francisco Airport North Bayfront

10/10 Excellent
"We travel very frequently to the Bay Area and we have 3 or 4 choices of hotels we always stay at, depending on the prices that particular week. This Doubletree is our favorite and we always stay here when the price is right. We have certain requirements for our hotels and this Doubletree meets them more than any other. The room decor is high quality, clean, comfortable, and attractive. The beds are very comfortable and the bedding is soft cotton. We like the fact that the bathroom is all in one room, rather than having a separate sink area in the bedroom area that is very noisy if one person is sleeping. We like the Bay view and it only costs a few dollars more than the regular rooms. The hotel employees are always very nice, very professional, and very accommodating. We like that there's a restaurant and bar in the lobby and the food there is good.The only imperfect thing we could complain about is the water pressure in the sinks and the showers is very low."
