"It is what it is" a cheap hotel close to the airport. They charge for wi-fi and then when you go to use the hotel computer in the lobby, not only does only one of them work but they charge for the guests to use that computer also! Beds were extremely hard, and I really didn't want to have to... More

We booked this hotel mainly due to the price. We found it to be very cheap compared to others in san francisco. Although the hotel is a fair distance from the city, its very easy to get to using the bus stop right outside. It takes you directly to the centre for $2. Breakfast is simple but good for fueling...

If you are going to fly out of San Francisco this is the place to stay. It takes about 10 minutes to get to the airport. If you are going on a trip that is more than 7 days you should stay here because it"s cheaper that parking at the airport.

I booked this place on Hotwire and was extremely nervous after reading some horrible and frightening reviews but I went for it because I didn't want to lose my money. Pluses: you get reliable shuttle service and it's super close to the airport. If you want to get to the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) station the shuttle takes you... More

Horrible experience. Sure it was a cheap airport hotel. But it's for a reason. My room key wouldn't work. And they refused to give me a new one. It turned out to be the door lock. I asked for a new room. And they did not want to give me a new one. They said they can open he door... More

CitiGarden Hotel is well-located to SFO and has a free shuttle which operates until 12:50 AM. The hotel is dated, but clean enough. Breakfast was minimal and there was no coffee maker, refrigerator, or microwave in the room. We paid the same price for the much nicer Ramada Limited 4 days later upon our return from SFO.

I booked this hotel bc it was close to SFO airport, and I only needed a budget overnighter. I feel that for the $100, I did not get the value I was expecting, even in the very expensive San Francisco area. The first room they gave me was nice and clean. However, the toilet didn't work. The staff was quick... More

We have stayed here on a couple occasions, when traveling from SFO. The main appeal is the close airport location and the park/sleep/fly option...which is fairly reasonable. There is a complimentary continental breakfast, which is nothing to rave about....very sparse. I found the room OK...luckily nothing as bad as some of the other reviews I've read here on TA. The...

We were put up in this room by United Airlines. Had we been paying the bill, we would not have stayed. Room given to us was beside an electrical room on the back of the building - dark parking lot and lane. We asked for a change and were told there were no others available. In the morning, we could...

Stayed one night only thank goodness! The United airlines dumps its missed/cancelled flight passengers here as a gesture of outstanding (ha!) service to long-time (economy ticketed) customers.  What a joke - both United and this accommodation. This hotel on the outside looks like an old converted Holiday Inn (1960 styled motel, not hotel). I mean: old construction with thin glass,... More
