The hotel is old and its visible. It has all basic facilities, close to airport and decent views of the bay. Best if you don’t care much about looks. Travelling to downtown SF is a pain from here. Also breakfast for vegetarians is just average.
a little hard to find,friendy staff,one of the better hotels I stayed in
good location to airport with free shuttle. Lobby offered many nice drink choices to include cider, coffee and hot chocolote. Free breakfast was good, especially warm cinamon buns
Clean, nice facility very close to SFO. Breakfast is pretty plastic but ok.
The hotel is very nice, great location, front desk are friendly and helpful and the housekeeper are always greeting you with a smile! It's kinda pricey but it's worth it. Free shuttle to the airport, free breakfast and great customer service!
Friendly staff, good breakfast, especially the cheese omelets, shuttle to airport, convenient location
While this is a very typical Holiday Inn, this particular facility went above and beyond in offering some thoughtful amenities--twenty-four your coffee, bowls of fruit in the lobby, extra toiletries in the room. Little touches that added to the expected experience. Only thing I didn't love was that room service came from an adjacent restaurant that only took cash or credit and didn't allow for putting the bill on the room charge. But a small inconvenience where many Holiday Inns at this level don't even offer room service.
Nice clean hotel close to the airport and the city.
Convenient to airport, but kind of a dump. Dirty carpet everywhere. The place is in need of some serious cosmetic upgrades.
Excellent! Great location, new building, clean. I recommend it.
Very nice and clean hotel with great hot and cold breakfast. We booked king bed bay view room but they were out of King size bed room so we got upgraded to queen size executive suite room which is a plus for letting our baby sleeping inside the room while we could still enjoy the chat in sitting area. Highly recommended with good price
The hotel room was fine and provided the beds for us to sleep. Bathroom small and not friendly for a mom with two young children. The Lobby was awful sliding doors on both ends made for a cold wind tunnel. Housekeeping staff and front desk were friendly people.
It was a very nice and clean hotel. Breakfast was good too. It was close to our car rental.
I prepaid with you, but the hotel charged me again usd335.86 from my credit card without my sign. Once my bank called me. I went to check with the reception. She said it was a mistake. The money will be returned when I check out. But I still have not received the refound. Could you please help to get my money back from the hotel? Thank you! Vicky
Wi--fi was terrible and is really important to me. Every time I asked the staff I got a different answer. Not sure if they just lis or refused to admit they did not know. I will not be staying here again.
Hotel was clean. Very close to SFO. Courteous and very helpful staff.
I flew into San Francisco to visit my daughter who lives in Burlingame, which is about 3 miles south of the airport, where the hotel is and which turned out to be just right across the freeway from where my daughter lives. How much more perfect can it get? My room over looked the bay and it was a beautiful sight, the room was perfect, the staff were all so nice and it was nice to see their smiling face each morning as I passed by. The breakfast was a welcomed sight to see every morning before starting out my day. I would be the first to tell anyone who was thinking of staying there that my new choice when visiting my daughter will always be The Holiday Inn Express Burlingame.
Nice view, front desk was very professional and personable. Clean, feels safe, balcony was nice, would come back and stay again. Thank you
Staff was okay, room was fine. Overpriced for what it is
Good location great value Hotel was clean and staff was friendly little farther from downtown San Francisco than expected.
