Residence Inn San Francisco Airport/San Mateo

San Mateo|3.8km from city center
Kristin and family traveled to San Francisco to attend her nephews wedding and stayed at the Residence Inn San Francisco Airport/San Mateo. As Marriott Gold members they were upgraded to the loft suite and it was perfect for our family. Location: about 10 minutes south of the airport, this location was very convenient and allowed for easy travel to/from all of the weekend wedding activities. Beds and bedding: happy to have 2 regular beds so Tino didn’t have to sleep on a pull out coach. Beds, pillows and bedding was super comfy-as all Marriott beds are. There was also a pull-out couch that was not used. Bathroom: there were 2 full bathrooms in the loft suite and they both had adequate lighting/space-but the loft bathroom had more counter space. Full closets and full length mirrors in both. Kitchen(ette): FULL sized appliances on the small kitchen had everything you would need for basic meal prep. When trying to stay on track with your nutrition this is so helpful! There was a Safeway just around the corner to pick up perishables and have healthy meals. dining: The free hot breakfast (weekends only) had plenty of options. REAL scrambled Eggs, sausage, hot pre-wrapped breakfast sandwiches, fresh waffles, cereal, oatmeal, fresh fruit, yogurt and more. There is no other restaurant on site but they also had a small market with snacks, essentials and a few microwaveable meals. Parking: ample and we always got a spot right my our unit. It was free for gold members but you do have to pay otherwise-not sure how much!a Room: We had the loft suite with 2 queen beds and a pull-out sofa bed and there was PLENTY of room. Fitness center: Less than impressive, but we made due. VERY SMALL…barely 2 people could be in there together. Dumbbells up to 40lbs with few increments in between. One treadmill and one elliptical. For a quick workout or cardio session you could make due. There are a few gyms nearby that you can get day-passes at. We went to 24 hour fitness just 8 min. Away once day for our heavier workout and it was $25 for a 24 hour pass-if you time it right, you could get 2 days out of that. @Fit.Foodie.Chicks.Travels

Kasa the Catrina San Mateo
4/5101 Reviews
The room price is clean and very good
Hilton Garden Inn San Mateo
4.3/5104 Reviews
San Francisco International Airport Area
About 15 minutes drive from the airport, about 25 USD by UBER, convenient transportation. About 5 minutes walk from the nearest store, good living function. There is PCR Walk-in test around the hotel, which is very convenient for passengers who board the plane. There are many parking spaces in the surrounding squares, and there is no extra charge. The front desk staff has a friendly service and can try to solve the problem of the tenant. It would be perfect if the airport pick-up and drop-off service could be provided in the future.
Best Western Coyote Point Inn
4.2/5111 Reviews
San Francisco International Airport Area
This hotel is very close to the high-speed exit, not far from San Francisco Airport, about 20 minutes drive. The room is spacious, the maintenance is very good, and the service staff is very friendly. The only downside is that there is no supermarket around, hotel
Holiday Inn & Suites San Mateo - SFO, an IHG Hotel
3.8/5113 Reviews
San Francisco International Airport Area
Staff member who checked us in (named Fatima) was very friendly indeed. We were given a complimentary upgrade to a suite, which was huge. Sofa, dining table and kitchenette which contained a microwave, fridge and coffee machine. King-size bed was very comfortable and the sheets were very soft. Room was extremely quiet throughout the night. Shower was pretty powerful. Complementary coffee and water in the lobby.
Inn at Bayshore
3.5/572 Reviews
San Francisco International Airport Area
Unfortunately looking for a place to stay in San Francisco and everything was crazy expensive! I found this place which was about $130 per night because I only had a one night layover. The room itself was dated but fine for one night. The staff were friendly and helpful. There are just a couple of things to be aware of. 1. It’s gonna cost you $40 to get there and back from SFO in Taxi so you need to factor that in. So now you’re paying $170 2. This is not a great neighborhood 3. It has no restaurant or store nearby, it is in sort of a residential area so if you want to eat you have to get delivered. If you want a drink? Sorry there is nowhere. As I said the place is ok. Just will never understand why hotels in SF are soooo expensive!
Extended Stay America Suites - San Francisco - San Mateo - SFO
3.4/572 Reviews
The environment is actually quite quiet, and the side near the highway may be noisy. 10 minutes walk to costco or the other side of the safeway. The most amazing thing about hotels/motels is that there is no breakfast room. The so-called breakfast is in the room of the retail machine next to the front desk, standing drinking coffee and eating a few poor small cakes, super speechless. The refrigerator in the room is super large, but how does the ice cube inside have a nucleic acid taste?
