Top Downtown Hayward Hotel Reviews

The Marina Inn on San Francisco Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Great sunset view of the bay from room’s balcony."

Grand Hyatt at SFO

10/10 Excellent

"I must be the world's lightest sleeper, making a night at or near an airport long and miserable. Not so at this hotel. Our lovely room faced the freeway and there was next to no noise. We never heard an airplane, heard perhaps two noisy motorcycles revving their engines and the occasional muffled sound of a door closing. Truly remarkable. This benefit, coupled with the ease of picking up my bags and hopping on the Air Train for the brief trip to the hotel made it an excellent choice for a stay. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Dinner at Quail & Condor was surprisingly good. I don't usually dine at hotel restaurants. The only downside for many will be the cost. There are less expensive options, but they will not be as quiet or convenient."
