Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront
"No complaints quick stay for class reunion. Deposit fee is high but that’s just how it is . Definitely enjoyed my stay"
Wild Palms, a JdV by Hyatt Hotel
"Nice room but the shower pressure was really bad. The first morning breakfast was chaos as there isn't a lot of seating but the staff were on top of refilling everything. The second morning was a lot quieter (labour day). Bit annoying that we had to pay $12 parking per day when it was only introduced the week before staying and we booked months in advance."
