9.8/10 Exceptional! (1,517 reviews)
Great place to stay for an early flight from SFO. There is even a dedicated stop on the AirTrain line for the hotel so you don’t even have to go outside. The room and the public areas are well appointed and maintained. I will definitely do this again next time I’m flying early.

Shops nearby were helpful. Super close to a big Macy’s that had food options and in walking distance of a Trader Joe’s. The pool was under maintenance while we stayed which we were not informed about before hand. That was disappointing.
