Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Redwood City
Choosing the right airport for your trip to Redwood City depends on balancing your flight requirements, budget, and preference for speed. San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is the nearest major gateway, located in a neighboring city, and offers the most diverse range of transport, including highly efficient Caltrain and BART connections, making it the top choice for most international and domestic travelers. Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport (OAK), also in a neighboring city, serves as an excellent alternative, particularly for domestic budget airlines, though it requires more complex public transit connections to reach the South Bay. San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC) is located in a nearby city and provides a very convenient, compact experience with quick rail access to the Redwood City area. For travelers considering Stockton Metropolitan Airport (SCK) or Sacramento International Airport (SMF)—both located in neighboring cities—the primary driver should be airfare savings, as ground transit times are significantly longer. We recommend prioritizing SFO or SJC for convenience, and reserving the more distant airports only if they offer significantly better flight schedules or fares.

The hotel was clean and tidy, and there was even a small fence outside. However, two things made me feel quite uncomfortable: 1. Around 5 AM, the smoke alarm in our room suddenly went off. We weren't smoking, and it was really frightening for it to go off in the middle of the night, especially since we had a small child with us. 2. I only saw the credit card charge after checking out. After verifying, it turned out to be the deposit. Shouldn't the deposit be refunded immediately after checkout?FromUS$97

The hotel hardware is OK, but the service is average! The swimming pool is unavailable! The parking is crowded and the car is full! The sign of the hotel at the intersection is not easy to find, it is not obvious, it is easy to overdo it as soon as it opens, it can only be general!FromUS$107
