“Our hotel near the SF airport”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 1, 2011

The staff is always friendly and helpful and the hotel rooms modern and attractive, very large, and clean. They have all the amenities, very comfortable beds. Excellent shuttle service to and from airport. Close by good shopping. The rates are very reasonable for the quality of the hotel. Continental breakfast is included. The hotel has not been busy when we have stayed and consequently has been very quiet for sleeping well.

Stayed one as we were on our way home north. Good place to stay and quiet. But nothing special. Need to have breakfst earlier. Parking very tight in garage.

“Large room, great location near airport”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 1, 2011 via mobile

We booked this accommodation near airport because our flight was departuring approx. at noon and we wanted to be near airport.
Hotel was like any other average hotel. It was clean, beds were good, room was LARGE :) Parking and wifi are free.
We just saw staff during checking in and out. No complains at all. She just did her job and that's it. :)
I didn't realise that the continental breakfast was included. What a nice surprise.

“not bad for an airport hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 24, 2011

free shuttle from departures to HJ. but check in at 3 pm is a bit odd. after all people arrive at the airport in the morning, exhausted and they want a bed to sleep in as soon as possible.
breakfast starts also after 6 30 so if you have an early flight forget it....but the usual amenities, and a good night rest is what most people want, and that is what you get. no frills.
