Great place, clean, friendly, convenient, comfortable, quiet. The shuttle was PACKED at 6am so that felt a little stressful but we ended up getting to the airport really quickly even with the shuttle stopping a another property. The only protein available with the breakfast was eggs (no meat) so that is something to be aware of. However, the breakfast on the whole was much better than average. This will be my go to hotel from now on for early or late trips out of SFO.

The Donatello is a favorite stay for us when we visit San Francisco … it is conveniently located. It’s an easy walk from the BART/Muni station. The rooms are spacious and clean. But the reason why we keep coming back and back is because of the outstanding staff. They are friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to accommodate and assist.
