Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel
Hotel is a bit dated but in general very clean. We did have a few stain/spots in our room but we did not mind it too much. Some staff are friendly but some seem like they did not want to be there. Overall a great hotel for this price point with free parking and breakfast.
