Top Downtown Hayward Hotel Reviews

Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed here about six times. We like the vicinity to San Francisco airport and the access to The Broadway for restaurants which is only five minute drive away. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The free breakfast is an excellent addition to our stay. We enjoy staying here so much that we will be back in two days time before we fly home. Easy access to freeways for going into San Francisco north or south towards Los Angeles, Monterey and Carmel. The only sad thing is the stay next Monday and Tuesday will be our last visit due to age and health. Thank you Bay Landing, it has been enjoyable staying with you and as we fly back to the UK we will miss your hospitality. Ron & Katie"

Walnut Creek Marriott

8/10 Good

"I had a wedding to get ready for and confirmed my reservation to be told to come back in an hour or more due to not having a room since they were very busy. Another person overheard and told the person helping me to give me my room. This was very upsetting especially since I had made my reservation months in advance and confirmed 3 hrs. before arriving."

LUMA Hotel San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is beautiful and beautifully maintained! The staff are willing to help at the drop of a hat. There are staff members everywhere so you don’t have to go far if you do need assistance. Luma is within walking distance to just about everything fun. Restaurants! Oracle Park! Chase Center!"
