DoubleTree by Hilton San Francisco Airport
Rundown room. Bathroom fixtures are wobbly and sun shade was damaged so it was impossible to open. Other than that it was clean

Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront
Nice employees, very helpful and kind. This was the loudest room ever and we were on a high floor! We could hear the trucks outside and the planes. The air conditioning seemed to turn on over 30-40 minutes. We arrived late, and had to leave relatively early. We needed sleep and didn’t get it.

Sonesta San Jose - Milpitas
Stay was pretty good, I was skeptical at first looking at the yelp reviews but no complaints about our stay. Would definitely stay here again plus they have really hot water which is a plus
