We were looking for a nicely priced hotel closed to San Francisco airport for just one night. Although it's a bit far if you're planning to visit San Francisco, we took advantage of the hotel shuttle to go to the airport and we caught the BART to go to the city. On the other end, since we wanted to catch an early flight back home, it made more sense to stay close to the airport. We were pleasantly surprised by the newly renovated rooms, with very comfortable beds and plenty of drawer space. Although there's no closet, there's an open area that has a railing with hangers. It had a nice pool, but we were not able to enjoy it. The reception area was clean and the staff was very friendly. They had an automatic coffee/latte/hot chocolate machine in the front desk that was very convinient as well. I don't usually expect a Red Roof Inn to be a place I would recommend, but without any doubt, this particular location was very desirable and would defintely do it again.-

I booked a room for two nights at the Red Roof Inn in Burlingame, CA because it was close to San Francisco International Airport. I knew it was a low end property, but we only needed a clean, comfortable place to stay for a couple of days before catching a flight out of San Francisco. My expectations were low, but the Red Roof Inn failed miserably at meeting those expectations.

Although the Red Roof Inn advertised that it had recently been remodeled, the rooms were small and dingy. There were stains on the carpeting and on the furniture. The rooms do not have a coffee maker or a hairdryer. We were able to borrow a hairdryer from the front desk. Apparently the property experiences plumming problems as the first time we flushed the toilet it threatened to overflow. A call to the front desk resulted in our being told we could borrow a plummer's helper. When we went to the front desk, we had to wait for another guest to return a plummer's helper for our use. (I'm not sure if the place only had one, or if the plumming problems were wide spread.)
The Red Roof Inn advertised internet access, which was wireless access through t-mobile (for $9.99 per 24 hour period). I paid the fee, but the connection was extremely poor. It was then that we learned that "inside rooms" can't connect through the wireless connection and we were moved to an "outside room." After going through the hassle of packing things up and moving rooms, the connection was no better in the "outside room." The wireless connection was so poor that we could only stay connected for 1 to 2 minutes at a time. It was very frustrating.

The Red Roof Inn failed to meet our most basic expectations and for $101 per night (not including taxes) we expected at least the basics. We will NEVER stay at a Red Roof Inn again.

This Red Roof Inn is 3 miles from SFO. Newly renovated. Very nice comfortable rooms which are very very clean. Altho I didn't use the pool, there were many who did until very late even tho I would have thought it too chilly. They said it was quite warm. There is a shuttle which leaves the hotel for SFO every 20 mins. Plenty of parking. Great stay.

After being bumped from a flight at SFO about 20 passengers were sent to this hotel. None of us had stayed at a Red Roof Inn in years. What a pleasant surprise! Check-in was swift. The restaurant had a variety of food. The room was newly renovated in an upbeat style close to the one used by Accor Hotels in France. It was immaculate.

There is a shuttle to the airport about every 15 mins.

There is a run/walk south along the bay through eucalyptus groves and past the Coyote Point museum, beach with wind surfing rentals, golf course and yacht club so you can hang out or take the BART into San Francisco.

There was nothing to complain about. This hotel is a good choice.
