Top hotels in Ardenwood
Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel
Convenient airport location, however shuttle service was limited, and desk staff misinformed when called about next pickup after landing. Had to take an Uber. Good breakfast, with cooked omelets, bacon and fruit.

The setting was great! The vibes are on point! The main parts of the room were nice! I think the wifi was a bit of an issue. Other than that was good.
