Hyatt Place San Francisco Downtown
The single king room was the perfect place to recharge before our flight back home to Louisiana. It was the last night of our honeymoon and friends met us at Kaiyo for dinner which was exceptional. We can't wait to visit again!

Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront
Room was stocked and clean, had normal wear, cable TV didn't work in room though. Lights were unplugged which was a bit weird, but not a big deal. We had two rooms on different floors and 11th floor smelled strongly of cigarettes for most of stay.
