Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel
Clean room, wonderful staff. Great location. Really quiet and several restaurants walking distance. Even though we close by airport, didn’t hear any outside noise when we inside our room.

Travelodge by Wyndham San Francisco Airport North
Liked that they provided a free shuttle..7 minutes from airport. The property is a little rundown but clean. Wi-fi was out and told later at area where check in was that it’s back on. Went back to room and still not on for the rest of the night. Also called for a wake up call and never got it.
