Embassy Suites by Hilton San Francisco Airport Waterfront

San Francisco Airport Marriott Waterfront
"This was a nice hotel to stay at. Clean, quiet, and a really nice view behind the hotel. The only thing I wish it had was a microwave in the room, you have to walk to the lobby to heat up food. This hotel also had a really nice workout facility/gym. Also, Olga on the breakfast staff was amazing! ..."
