Excellent hotel, located near the 101 in Redwood City, 20min drive south of San Francisco Airport. The bar area is awesome and even the gym area seems very well organised with five or six treadmill units. I have not used the pool outside as the weather was on the fresh side. The room is large and spacious with a desk,... More

I've stayed at this hotel several times now, and have always been delighted by the "here you go" service. It's like they don't know the word "no". Very reasonable pricing as well. They're always fair, and follow up with you in case there were any issues. Highly recommended. Location is far from San Fran, but that's not a big deal.... More

I chose to stay at the Sofitel after finding a good rate on Expedia and hearing good things about the brand. The hotel is conveniently located off of the freeway, which is great if you're looking to head into San Francisco. It's in a business park which isn't the most beautiful scenery, but does have a lagoon. The hotel itself... More

This is obviously a business hotel, but the staff are the best in San Francisco. While the decor is a bit dated, the beds are wonderful. The downstairs staff could not be more accommodating with regards to rides to the airport and train. The cab fares to the city ($100) are a killer, but the shuttle mitigates the pain. And... More

I stayed here for three nightscthis week while I was attending a work session in the hotel's conference area. This has been the most comfortable I have felt on a business trip in years. Food was great, wireless Internet was fast (free option slower), gym in good shape, shuttle was convenient and bar was fun. Another thing I notice was... More

We stayed here for a nearby family event. The carpeting in the room was dirty, stained and buckled. The furniture was old and worn, the paint and the wood peeling. I don't like the lack of a top sheet. Most disappointing was the noise when people in adjoining rooms used their plumbing. It sounded like a fog horn and was... More

If you are there on business then this hotel will tick the boxes. It's comfortable, clean, service is good but it's an impersonal place like most business hotels in big business parks. It's practical to get to and close to the main motorways and not far from the international airport. You will need a car and there is really nothing... More

This is a large hotel in a small suburb. It kind of looks like a large Hilton, the staff are all friendly and helpful. It is probably not as young as it used to be, but very well kept, not noisy, comfortable. Only complaint - and this seems to be a custom of late - no top sheet on the... More

On more than one ocassion we have stayed here for a "weekend" away from it all , while living in the Bay Area. Its a good location and the weather is usually pretty nice. Its a short drive into Belmont/San Carlos/Red Wood City, or a quick jaunt on to the 101 freeway if you need to high tail it into... More
