“pleasantly surprised”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 29, 2011

I was looking for a clean, cheaper hotel with a complimentary airport shuttle. This Super 8 had all of the above. My room was spacious, well appointed and very clean. I was toting way too much luggage for one person to handle, but I had absolutely no worries thanks to the shuttle drivers. Both of them (upon arrival and departure) were SO helpful to me. Both desk clerks were great ans very friendly as well. I would highly recommend this hotel.

“Best Super 8 ever”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 21, 2011

This place is great, new paint, carpet and bedding. Best shuttle service, on call compared to others hourly service, good breakfast and a great staff. It was a guy trip to a football game and I have only stayed at a Super 8 three times in 20 years, but I would easily choose to stay here again and bring my wife. Close to all public transportation if you don't have a car

“Great Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2011

I can't start to explain how good my stay was here. I travel for buisness and fun alike and i have seen for the dollar no comparison. The staff was helpful, rooms clean and odor of warm first impression. Location had everything for me from Train, Plane and Automobile which gave me and my wife ample things to do rain or shine. The icing on the cake was the win over Stanford by Oregon. - Kodos for a great stay.

Room Tip: Rooms on the street side gives great daylight

“Very Good Airport Layover Motel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 3, 2011

I did a huge amount of research before selecting this location with several key parameters. First, I wanted a place which had a free airport shuttle. Secondly, I wanted a motel within walking distance of the non-airport BART station for SF sightseeing. Thirdly, I wanted to eat at an IHOP because I have been a fan of their famous dollar-sized pancakes since the 1970s. And finally, I wanted free WiFi. Everything worked out perfectly except for the airport shuttle piece of the puzzle due to a communications snafu. I had been told prior to the trip that one had to call the hotel desk in order for the shuttle to come around for an airport pickup during the evening hours. The correct information was that the Super 8 shuttle was not "just" a Super 8 "point to point" shuttle but also stopped at other motel locations on its route and made the airport stop around once every 30 to 60 minutes in the hotel shuttle location on the upper "departure" deck at SFO. If I had been in possession of this knowledge, I would have been at the hotel within one hour after landing. But because I had incorrect information, it took two hours before I was in bed. Since East Coast time is three hours ahead of SFO time, that situation initially put me in a rather disagreeable mood. As for the accommodations, they were fine. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom was clean and because it was near midnight Pacific Time, the motel was quiet. I also read in another Trip Advisor review that the mattresses are encased for your protection at this motel which made me happy. The next morning, we bypassed the standard free "continental" breakfast and only had to walk about one block to the IHOP which was visible across the street and the breakfast was spectacular, complete with the entire pot of coffee per person. Then, it was back to the motel to use the in room WiFi (which worked just fine) before the 11AM checkout. Free storage of our bags was permitted before our BART trip from the San Bruno station into The City. The walk was about 25 minutes but since it was a beautiful day, it was not a problem. There was even a convenience store enroute to pick up a soft drink. The fare from the San Bruno station is much lower than the fare from the SFO station because you're not paying the surcharge for the construction of the airport facility. It was only a 25 minute ride to Powell & Market. When we returned near 5PM, the shuttle was just pulling up to take us back to the airport to make our next airline connection. That made up for the snafu of the previous evening. The motel staff were polite and courteous. All was well and the price was right!
