Top Berkeley Hotel Reviews

Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We’ve been coming here for a long time, on and off as we travel. Bay Landing is consistently excellent. Some would say the place is dated, but c’mon, it’s not a vacation resort. Most people are there because they’re are catching or returning from a flight. That said, the place is immaculate and the employees are fantastic. To the owners of Bay Landing - don’t give in to the pressure to update or become “relevant”. You already are relevant with your excellence. I’d stay here any day of the week and twice on Sundays! Thanks for doing solid work in a day and age of mediocrity."

Hyatt Place San Francisco Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Could have used a microwave in the room, but everything else was excellent!"
