Top Old Palo Alto Hotel Reviews

Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This sadly was our last visit to Bay Landing after about eight visits over the years. Convenient for the airport, easy access to the 101 and visits to shopping or San Francisco. The hotel staff have always been attentive, helpful and polite. The breakfast is great to start the day and most of all, The Broadway for restaurants is only a five minute drive away (recommend especially the Chinese on the right as you enter the Broadway). We will miss the hotel and cannot recommend it enough to anyone arriving or leaving San Francisco. Thank you Bay Landing for the years of wonderful hospitality and service."

Half Moon Bay Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The property ambiance very nice We enjoyed using the jacuzzi and heated swimming pool There’s also games for the kids as well as adults The corn hole game was fun help you burn what you ate for breakfast Love the garden and fire pit at night helps you to unwind and relax We will stay here again when we’re in the area The staff are friendly and accommodating"

The Westin San Jose

10/10 Excellent

"This stay was to allow for us to be close to the 1/2 marathon. The hotel is beautiful, a very unique, older hotel. The check in was seamless and the valets were amazing! The room was small, but laid out well and the ac was perfect for the hot weather. It was a pleasure to have a fridge in the room. I did find morning desk staff to be less friendly than the wonderful afternoon person who checked us in, however, they were efficient. If we get back to San Jose, would definitely stay again."
