Clean room, nice accommodations. Close to airport and they had shuttle service, however, it ran every 45 minutes so we took an Uber instead from the airport.

Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel
Very quiet and convenient airport shuttle. Love the pillows best night sleep in a hotel. Outdated carpet but overall, very clean. We left early so didn't experience the breakfast. Love the walk around the bay and hotel and seeing planes landing.
