Top El Granada Hotel Reviews

Hotel Aluxor SFO

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great overnight stay!"

Travelodge by Wyndham San Francisco Airport North

8/10 Good

"I enjoyed my stay at the Travelodge. The property is located a short distance from the airport and provides a shuttle to the property. iHOP is attached to the property and food is handy and reasonable. The room was comfortable, the shower was hot (easy step in shower) a great heat/cool unit to warm or cool the room and, best of all, the BED….it was so comfortable! Loved that bed! Very satisfied!"

Oceano Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Can't say enough nice things about this lovely hotel in a great location close to San Francisco. Our drive from SFO was about 40 minutes. Onsite underground parking was very convenient and clean. Our very spacious room (a Deluxe Suite) was S-P-O-T-L-E-S-S when we checked in with a nice balcony, and sitting area with fireplace. Staff was very friendly and helpful. There's a selection of great nearby restaurants and shopping, plus lots more in the town of Half Moon Bay about 15 minutes down the road. The only complaints I had were very minor - the water pressure in the shower was a tiny bit low and the shower lighting was a little dim. Neither of them were overly bothersome, nor worth deducting any points. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again! Two other things to consider which weren't important to us but might be to others: 1) The hotel does front onto a somewhat busy street. It does get considerably quieter at night, and there are rooms situated further away from the road. 2) It's not on the beach."

Hyatt Place San Francisco Downtown

8/10 Good

"Our stay was due to a surgery the next morning at UCSF and we needed to check out at 5:00 am the following morning. It so happened that we arrived at the hotel just as a SF ball game was ending. Traffic and parking was a nightmare. I checked in while my husband circled the block looking for parking. Hotel staff was really accommodating and allowed us to park in their loading zone until traffic cleared. They have a parking garage nearby, but it doesn’t open in the mornings as early as we needed to check out. We eventually found a parking spot on the street and all was well. Room and staff were great, but I advise to check out the parking situation if that could be a potential problem."

The Westin San Francisco Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property, very conveniently close to the airport, great restaurant on site plus Starbucks, which was a huge hitter for us. The only issue that we had was the water temperature in our shower which I brought it to the staffs attention at checkout, it went from freezing cold to scolding Hot within seconds, there was no in between so be careful with that."
