Nice hotel close to the airport. We didn’t get to totally experience it as we literally slept in the room as we had a 7am flight. It was clean and comfortable and that’s all we needed.

Great place to stay if you have an early flight at SFO. Super convenient ~ about 1.5 to 2 miles away from the airport. The price was reasonable and the room was clean and quiet. The BEST part was the free parking in a well-lit safe area right next to the reception desk. I would stay there again.
