After reading the negative reviews and seeing the pictures of this hotel I really was not expectimg much. When we arrived at the hotel i was really surprised. Everything in the room was updated and the service was good. We paid less then $50 dollars a night and it was well worth it. I would stay here again. The drive... more

There are several lower end chains in the vicinlty of the airport. We drove past them ALL. Some look pretty bad, some almost looked like they were rent by the hour type places. This hotel was wonderful, good price, clean room and 10 minutes from the rental car return. If you want or need pampered pass this place by, if... more

This a no frills place, but quite adequate. Hubby and I got to spend our money in san francisco having fun instead of paying a lot for a place where we just laid our heads.

During his stay at the above hotel,a hispanic man at the front desk (whose name is unknown to me)behaved in an outrageously rude and harsh manner when he requested a bottle of water. The man was sitting infront of a computer monitor browsing through a photo album (and clearly... more

Was told phone in room did not work at the room given upon check-in, but apart from that - vent did not work in the bathroom, hairdryer was missing, bathroom was disgusting and room was smelly. Internet connection is nonexistent. Do not believe the ad when they say it was recently re-modelled, the property alone from the outside will give... more

We recently spent a week at the Howard Johnson in San Francisco. We made several changes to our reservation during the week and the hotel staff were very accommodating. The hotel has convenient shuttle service running at regular intervals throughout the day, so it is easy to get to and from the airport. This allowed us to access the BART... more

My dad booked the hotel (it was an inn, actually) 2-3 weeks in advance, instead of me looking for a hotel to stay. Its close proximity to where my family would be attending a gathering prompted him to choose that. It was a huge mistake!! It was advertised that check in is 14:00, room wasn't ready when we arrived at... more
