It was clean and just right to lay our heads down for a few hours before a flight out of SFO.

Very clean, pretty new, great value, with free underneath parking, free WiFi, and free breakfast from 6:30am to 9:30 am with waffles, toast, cheese omelets, cereals, OJ, Apple Juice, Tea and Coffee. Great location near Tanforan Mall, I-380 which connects to 1-280 and US 101, close to SFO.

Shuttle was relatively easy to find (SFO needs more visible signage to hotel shuttles), it was clean and staff were friendly. I noticed there was a problem with WiFi while waiting in line to check in. Ended up it was never functional -- it just ghosted you, showing that you had wifi (on both phone and laptop), but not really connecting, so that I had to actually turn off WiFi for my phone to function. However... I only got one bar or less from anywhere in the hotel, so I was effectively cut off and had to go outside in the rain to make a phone call or search for nearby food! While I'm grousing, which I rarely make the effort to do, the eggs were the only thing that wasn't sugar, starch, or both for breakfast... except the only option was to take a mini omelette filled with something like cheese whiz, GAK. Good thing there were some fresh, crisp apples, but whew, couldn't wait to get to the airport for some real food, however expensive.

The shuttle for the hotel to the airport never picked us up!! We had to take a Lyft. The only reason why I paid for a full day at this hotel is so I could use the shuttle to take my family to the airport and we only stayed there for maybe 5-6 hours to rest before we left and I paid full price for a one night stay. I only did this was for the shuttle that never picked us up.

We had a change of plans so just used the room to hold our luggage and freshen up. The staff was super helpful, the shuttle was very convenient. The beds seemed comfortable…we would definitely book again.
