Bay Landing Hotel
1550 Bayshore Hwy., Burlingame, California 94010, USA
Why We Like It
Skip San Francisco's hefty hotel price tags for a bay-front address near the airport. Though a bit of a drive from urban attractions and restaurants, easy proximity to the airport and the bay's running trails make this a fine choice for travelers wanting to be near, but not in the heart of the action.
Fodor's Expert Review
European country style evokes a sense of class for a reasonable price tag. Though the location near the airport best appeals to those with early departures, travelers appreciate the location, getting them as close to the tip of San Francisco Bay as it gets. Rooms offer epic views through double-paned windows of the landing airplanes.
Tip Look for park and ride deals which pair an overnight stay with seven free days of parking at the hotel lot.
