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.

DoubleTree by Hilton San Francisco Airport
The staff were super friendly and helpful. Room was clean. My only call out is that since the hotel is very close to the airport you constantly hear the planes taking off but overall it was a great stay.

Update the rest of the plugs inside the room. Some of the plugs are to loose.

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Francisco Airport Waterfront
Was very pleased with our stay here. There are limited dining options I found when you are without transportation, but that’s a personal problem and not in the hotel. We found great food at Max’s which is within walking distance. The hotel was great! I would highly recommend a stay at this ...
