Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront
Nice employees, very helpful and kind. This was the loudest room ever and we were on a high floor! We could hear the trucks outside and the planes. The air conditioning seemed to turn on over 30-40 minutes. We arrived late, and had to leave relatively early. We needed sleep and didn’t get it.
