Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice view and convenient airport shuttle location and great coffee/ breakfast. Bathroom very clean, beds large and comfortable but bedspreads needed updating as threads were loose. Quiet!"

Half Moon Bay Lodge

8/10 Good

"We really enjoyed our stay at Half Moon Bay Lodge. The lady at the front desk couldn't have been nicer, she was especially nice when I went to get ice. The ice machine on the 1st floor was out of order. She said the ice machine on the 2nd floor was working, and then said to give her 10 minutes and she would send some ice to our room. In 10 minutes we had ice delivered. Also she asked if we would like to have our room serviced by housekeeping. We were really surprised by the offer. Can't remember the last time we have housekeeping service a room we were only staying in for 2 nights. When we got back from our 2nd day travels our room looked great. The only thing lacking in the room was not the room itself. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The bathroom was very compact, and showed signs of it's age. It could have used some updating. It was very clean, but had signs of it's age. All in all we couldn't have been happier with our stay. Next time we are in Half Moon Bay we definitely will be back to Half Moon Bay Lodge. Thanks."

However, if that doesn't suit your budget, you can book a flight to San Jose, CA (SJC-Norman Y. Mineta San Jose Intl.), located 13.5 mi (21.8 km) away.
