We spent 1 night here after arriving very late into SFO. We booked this place on hotwire & it cost about $60 as we figured we'd probably miss the last BART & so might as well stay near SFO as we didn't have to rush back home. The airport shuttle had stopped running as our flight delay meant we arrived after 1 a.m. and it was much later by the the time we collected our luggage so we took a taxi. The room was equipped with cooking facilities, fridge, coffee maker & plenty of tea & coffee. There was a shower but no bath. The next morning there was a free buffet breakfast & although the breakfast room was a little cramped to say the least, there was a decent range of food including hot & cold stuff. It's not the Ritz, but for $60 it was great value. In addition we had free wireless internet access which meant that we could both use our laptops at the same time & at no charge. My husband went back a few days later as he'd forgotten his gloves & waited ages going & returning for the shuttle bus which is nowhere near as frequent as many of the other hotels near SFO so this is a downside & if you're leaving very early in the morning then the free breakfast may be of no consequence. But if you're not in a hurry then if you can get this place for $60 it's a bargain.

During this two week stay in san francisco we stayed in 6 different hotels. We got an excellent rate through Hotwire and the value for money (we paid less than $50/night) was better than any other hotel, even though it was a few miles from downtown. Breakfast was great, internet access in the room and parking were free.

I stayed at the Homewood Suites in Brisbane on the 10th and 11th of November and was pretty unimpressed. First the good: the breakfast is pretty good, with waffles, eggs, sausage, cereal, etc. I echo other comments in that the breakfast area is a little cramped if there are a lot of people eating. I also echo the comments that the walls are paper thin, as I could hear other guests TVs, and conversations while trying to sleep at night. The rooms were terribly small to be called suites, with the living room/bedroom/kitchen all one room not much bigger than a standard hotel room. My biggest complaint was the airport shuttle, which was very unreliable. I twice waited for an hour for a shuttle that is supposed to run every half hour. One night I waited in the rain and called three times and was told each time that the shuttle was on its way and should be there in about 5-10 minutes. Not a terrible hotel, but nothing special either.

First, I have stayed at many Homewood Suites Hotels all across the country without any problems. I booked my room three months in advance, and I asked the reservationist at the location, if there was a special weekend rate. She told me that she would let me speak to the manager on duty, Minnie. I spoke to Minnie, and she assured me that I would get the weekend rate. I asked for an e-mail confirmation. I kept receiving confirmations that did not show the weekend rate. I called back and spoke to Minnie, and she told me that the system would not accept the rate when she entered it, but that she would give me the rate since she was the manager. When we arrived, I spoke to the front desk about my conversation with Minnie, and they assured me I would get the rate. Everything went well in the beginning, except for a smelly room with mosquitoes, and there was an ant trail in the kitchen, but they put us in another room. HOWEVER, when I got ready to check out, THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME THE WEEKEND RATE! I spoke with the manager on duty because Minnie was conveniently off. He told me that he called Minnie at home, and she said that she did not tell me any such thing. I got into an argument with this man, and he told me that I was a liar! I had to stop my husband from going to the front desk and attacking him for calling me a liar. We left, and I called HiIton. They told me it was my word against Minnie's word. So, after 10 years of devotion, I will NEVER stay at another Hilton brand Hotel again!
