Our hotel room was clean and the staff was super friendly. Only issue was the room walls were a little thin.

Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel
Staff were not helpful. Place needs to be updated. Breakfast was good. They leave coffee and tea out but not water. Took 45 minutes to get picked up from the airport by the shuttle, definitely doesn’t run every 15 minutes.
