En bref : A 'W Hotel' on a budget that's showing its age, sitting awkwardly between a highway and a runway.
Évalué par @Wanderlustbynyr: I usually dread airport hotels, but my stay here was a total vibe. The live music and cocktails at W XYZ Bar made me forget I was in transit. Plus, the shuttle to SFO is super reliable. Definitely my go-to for San Francisco layovers now.
Ce que les clients qui ont séjourné ici ont dit
The hype
Travelers love the shuttle reliability and comfy beds, but hate the parking costs and worn-out carpets.
Reality check
The 'hip' lobby vibe often clashes with the reality of tired hallways and the occasional smell of marijuana.
You have an early morning flight and want a reliable shuttle
You travel with a dog (very pet-friendly)
You want a hotel bar that actually stays open late
Propreté et entretien
7
Housekeeping: Hit or miss. Many reports of 'missed spots' and dust. You must request daily service.
Bathroom hygiene: Generally clean, but watch for mold in the grout of the walk-in showers.
Maintenance: Aging. Scuffed walls, worn carpets, and the occasional slow-draining sink are common.
Linens & towels: Standard Marriott quality—crisp enough, but check your mattress protector (isolated bed bug report in 2022).
Odors & scents: Lobby smells like signature Aloft perfume; hallways occasionally smell like marijuana.

Quoi emporter
Earplugs for the hallway noise
Swimsuit for the heated indoor pool

Génie des chambres
Meilleurs choix
Top floor (7th) facing the bay for less overhead noise and a decent view
End of hallway rooms to minimize foot traffic noise
“I'd love a room on the highest possible floor, away from the elevator and ice machine. If possible, a bay view would be amazing to avoid the highway noise.”
FAQ et astuces cachées
Tout ce que vous voulez vraiment savoir avant de réserver.
Is the airport shuttle actually free?
Yes, it runs roughly every 15-20 minutes 24/7. It picks up at the Hotel Shuttle Courtyard at SFO.
Can I walk to the BART station?
Technically yes (15-20 mins), but it requires crossing terrifying highway on-ramps. Take the shuttle to SFO and catch BART there instead.
Is breakfast included?
No. The 'Re:fuel' station sells breakfast pots ($12-14) and pizzas ($18). Coffee in the room is free.
How much is parking?
Self-parking is ~$48/night. It is managed by a third party (AirGarage) and enforcement is strict.
Is it pet friendly?
Yes, very. $50/night fee, max 2 dogs (40lbs limit). They provide a bed and bowl.
Is there a resort fee?
No explicit resort fee, but the high parking and pet fees act as hidden costs.
Conseils d'initiés
✨
Walk 5 minutes south to the Westin to use their slightly more upscale restaurant, Grill & Vine.
✨
The 'Re:fuel' pantry prices drop for some items late at night—check for clearance stickers.
✨
Uber to downtown Millbrae ($10) for food; it's infinitely better than the hotel snacks.
5 choses à savoir avant de partir
💡The 'Park & Fly' crowd means the parking lot is often fuller than the hotel itself.
💡The hallway carpets are trippy/industrial but hide stains a little *too* well.
💡You can hear the lobby music thumping from the 2nd-floor rooms.
💡The 'Bay View' is mostly a view of a parking lot with water in the distance.
💡Housekeeping is 'light' by default; you have to aggressively request a full clean.
