Top Ocean Colony Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza San Francisco Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"N/A"

Dinah's Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We like the ability to walk out our door next to the pool and have dining. The uniqueness of the hotel theme was awesome, Koi pond, Lanai, gardens and restaurants adjoining the hotel. Renovations were fabulous along with their decor. Very quiet and Serene. The restaurant had fabulous service and delicious meals. We will continue to stay there when we visit the very close Stanford University and Stanford health."

Bay Landing San Francisco Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"what a great place to stay before our long international flight. the staff was friendly and helpful, the rooms were spacious and well appointed (although a bit dated - which may be a part of the charm!), and the free breakfast was a nice touch. but our favourite part was the view of the bay and watching the airplanes over the water. sitting outside in the morning as the sun was rising will always be a great memory. we've stayed at many hotels near sfo in preparation for our flights, and now we've found one we'll return to."

Hotel Aluxor SFO

8/10 Good

"My partner and I booked this hotel after our flight was delayed because we were looking for an affordable place to stay that included an airport shuttle. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and exactly what we needed for the night. The airport shuttle was convenient, but our only issue was its reliability. We were scheduled for a 4:00 a.m. pickup, but the shuttle didn’t arrive until around 4:25 a.m. We still made our flight, but it was stressful and not something I would want to rely on if you have an early morning flight. Overall, it’s a good value for a short stay, but I would leave extra time if you’re counting on the shuttle to catch an early flight."
