Crowne Plaza San Francisco Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"Hotel is good, got breakfast in the morning. I knew it was $25 but I just wanted to see how good it would be. For $25 the breakfast was average. Some hotels include something similar or better. I come to the area for business, next time i will skip the breakfast here."
