The Nest Hotel Palo Alto
Let us check in early we could have had late check out. Was excitied to see wine bar with some nice choices a little pricey but prices were where you could see them so no surprises.

Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront
Location was good, the hotel was nice and clean. The reason for a 4 star instead of 5 is that parking was $40/day and shuttle only goes to the airport and not downtown Burlingame.
