Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel

Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This sadly was our last visit to Bay Landing after about eight visits over the years. Convenient for the airport, easy access to the 101 and visits to shopping or San Francisco. The hotel staff have always been attentive, helpful and polite. The breakfast is great to start the day and most of all, The Broadway for restaurants is only a five minute drive away (recommend especially the Chinese on the right as you enter the Broadway). We will miss the hotel and cannot recommend it enough to anyone arriving or leaving San Francisco. Thank you Bay Landing for the years of wonderful hospitality and service."
