We felt this was a great option for traveling through the SFO airport. Check-in was easy, and the rooms were comfortable. We also felt that the breakfast options were plentiful (albeit in a quirky setup on the 2nd floor). We did not use the airport shuttle upon arrival due to other arrangements; however, the shuttle was useful on the return. There is parking available that seems to be convenient for those with a vehicle.

The room was clean and comfortable. We were flying out early the next morning, and Michael helped us figure out a way to return our rental car early so that we wouldn't be late for our flight the next day.
