"Helpful staff, clean room and affordable are the highlights of staying Bay Landing San Francisco. My only critiques are that the furniture could use some updating. The beds were smaller than a queen, so it was tight for two adults."

8/10 Good
"Overall the stay was great. Its in a great area for tourist. I noticed the camper in the yard wasnt open at all to sell breakfast or lunch. We didnt get much time in the yard. We sat to eat but was it. Its nice they have fire pits but none were available. This is a heavily congested area so it was very busy. There were difficult people checking in when we were in line, but the front desk clerk kept her cool. Overall, we had a great time."
