    Stayed here during family members surgery. Hotel Is 2 blocks from the hospital on El Camino Real and close to SFO as well. Very cute and relaxing hidden gem. Staff is very welcoming and rooms were comfy able. Great shower with rock floor. This place has all the amenities you could need. I would definitely stay here again.

    Great very reasonably priced hotel very close to SFO. Newly remodeled and painted. Comfortable mattresses with great sheets. Several restaurants and bars within walking distance. Outdoor hallways but nice place to spend the night before an early morning flight out of SFO.

    This was a stop off point between San Fran and our travels along the PCH. A hot shower, and good nights rest is what we got. Our room and linens were also spotless. The Dylan has really inviting decor and a fun feel as you enter the lounge area. For a short stay, we would absolutely do it again. If having a glass of wine or beer is your thing, they have a surprisingly good selection by the reception area.

    I had a nice 2 night stay at this hotel in early June 2025. It's right next to the airport which was convenient, and not too close to where you hear planes. This hotel is in a nice area too and is walking distance to many restaurants (mostly Asian/Chinese food). It's also walking distance to the train station if you're looking to go Into the city. The room was clean and beds were comfortable. The bathroom was nice with a tile walk in shower. Staff were friendly. The lobby has a cool wine tap with 4 different bottle flavors to choose from, and if wine isn't your thing then they have other liquors/beers as well-- all reasonably priced too. The ONLY thing I would complain about that keep this hotel from getting 5/5 is that there was no refrigerator in my room... Overall a 4/5 and I will stay here again if I'm in the area.

    1am checkin after cancelled flight ;) happy we found a room

    Spirit Airlines flight was cancelled so we needed a place to stay as they don't pay for your hotel (another story). Looking for a room close to the airport, we found the Dylan at SFO. Cute boutique style hotel. Nice fountain in the courtyard, modern rooms, bathroom had all amenities we needed. Thank you for a pleasant stay. Hot showers, rain style showerhead, comfy beds and nice flat screen TV. The front desk staff was nice, even at 1AM and the Halloween decor was on point. Definitely stay here again when coming to San Francisco!

    To change is a prerogative. Make is positive

    Is it noisy because it's so close to airport? When flights land and take off - especially at nights does it get uncomfortably loud?

    I did not notice any air traffic noise during my stay at The Dylan.

This Residence Inn saved me from no water and a complaining wife if I had stayed at the other hotel. I dropped in to check to see if they had vacancies. They assured me that rooms would be available. I immediately got onto to Concur, my employer's travel website and made the reservation. I was able to check in early the next morning after speaking to them, and due to my elite status. Check in was easy since they remembered my face. They gave us a studio king. The room had a full kitchen with refrigerator, stove, coffemaker and microwave. The King bed was nice and comfortable. The bathroom had the usual Marriott bottle products. The room was good for a one night's stay. Their gym, once I found it, was adequate with treadmills, ellipticals, dumb bells, kettlebells, and Pilates balls. It was good enough to give me a good workout. Their parking lot is big. They do charge for parking. My only complaint, if I had one is that the staff does not know how to use virtual credit card payments. I had to use my own credit card instead of charging my virtual card. Other than that, it was a good stay. I wouldn't mind staying again if the other hotel I usually stay at wasn't available.

    Hotel: Grand Hyatt SFO Room type: Grand Suite, king bed…read moreCost: $2,300 USD/2 nights Trip: solo, 1 person Location: San Francisco, CA. (SFO Airport) Rating: 4.0/5.0 The Grand Hyatt at SFO is an amazing property, Hyatt truly showed why they belong in the luxury tier with this entry. A 351-room (and suite) airport hotel, one of the best airport hotels in the world, and connected directly to the airport via presecurity (TSA) airtrain on airport grounds. This was quite a luxurious hotel, in a prime spot and a must-stay for avgeeks (aviation geeks). While not the most luxurious hotel I've stayed at, it proves it doesn't have to be. While providing fine dining (at the Quail & Crane Restaurant, more on that below) or fast and convenient to-go items that can be enjoyed in your room or on-the-go (more than likely when here, you're heading to a flight, see: Twin Peaks café, below), the Grand Hyatt at SFO offers unparalleled service for an airport hotel and deserves its 5-star rating. The fitness center by itself is huge and offers yoga mats, stretch balls, peloton fitness bikes, treadmills, standard recumbent bikes, free weights, circuit training and more, plus complimentary water and towels. What is more, is that they truly metaphorically bend over backwards to serve you which no hotel is obligated to do. If you order Uber Eats or Doordash, for example, they'll drop your food at their first floor valet lobby; it's no problem at all. Though the Quail & Crane Restaurant offers an excellent fusion of Western/American continental cuisine, while the Twin Peaks bar had an amazing selection of cocktails to make for you upon request, and the neighboring Twin Peaks market had a standard mix of cold beverages (water, soda, juice, etc.) and snack items including potato chips, and standard American/western fare And the views! Where do I start? This is where being an avgeek comes into play as an advantage and the hotel encourages this, providing an "aircraft identification guide," binoculars, pen, and paper notepad. I spent hours in my suite watching aircraft land, taxi, park at the gate, taxi to the runway then take off. NOTE: Request an apron-view room or suite, otherwise you get an interior room /suite. My suite had panoramic views of the International terminal and half of the "A" gates (the international terminal consists of one gigantic hall and two piers, "A" and "G" gates - Star Alliance aircraft depart out of the "G" gates, while everyone else uses the "A" gates and pier. Domestic terminals 1, 2, and 3 are strictly for gates "B" "C" "D" "E" and "F"). I had to get a pad of paper and a pen to keep track of every aircraft I saw. Would I stay here again? Absolutely! 4.0/5.0 is my final rating, only because 5.0 is the proverbial unicorn; no hotel gets 5.0/5.0, it is unfair to other establishments and there is always something any given hotel can do better, even if it is so unnoticeable to guests, it is behind the scenes. The only thing that could make the Grand Hyatt SFO better is a spa on-site but I'm being unnecessarily nit-picky here, which isn't fair to the hotel.

The rooms were immaculately clean and very comfortable for a short stay. I wasn't expecting much when I arrived to the lobby but the rooms were cute. I also felt really safe, which is important when traveling alone or arriving late. The only downside was that it was a bit loud on the first floor due to noise and walking from guests staying above us. The walls are kind of thin. If I stayed again I would definitely request a top floor room to avoid that. Overall 8/10, a great and convenient option for a quick airport stay.

Great restaurants nearby, and fast food also. Walking around downtown Millbrae, is pleasant. The BART station, In-N-Out burger are within walking distance if you're reasonbly fit, but maybe pushing the envelope for some. Super convenient to get to and from SFO. Getting on and off the Hwy 101 is pretty easy. Convenient underground parking garage. I believe the height limit is 6'8" but please confirm with the front desk if you are worried about it. The property is newly renovated, but still some signs of age. The padding under the carpet in my room was kinda lumpy and uneven. Staff is super friendly. The complimentary breakfast is pretty basic. If all you need is some toast, fruit, cereal and juice it will do. The hot food: scramble eggs, turkey sausage and waffles are available, but not my first choice. If you can hold out for better food options in the neighborhood, that's a stronger move. Watch out for the various curbs and beat-up sideawalk nearby the street.

Trip after trip, the team here is genuinely warm, professional, and accommodating. Jessa and Jorge at the front desk deserve a special mention because they consistently go above and beyond. Jessa has a way of making you feel like a valued guest every single time, not just another check-in.

The front desk here is unbelievably rude and unprofessional. When I checked in, they didn't explain any amenities and handed me my keys. One of the key didn't even work on the first day. Not only that, I asked for late check out and my keys were again locked out before my check out time. When I asked to store luggage, they handed me a luggage tag without a word and kept chatting with their friends. I placed it on my luggage and they rudely told me not to do that and I was supposed to write down my info. I've never had to do that for any Marriott properties as the tag already has a corresponding ticket number. Also, why would they chastise me for something they didn't even bother explaining? The shuttle bus drivers and cleaning staff are nice and polite. It is really just the front desk who needs retraining. As for the property itself, they gave me one of the farthest room at the end of a long, dark hallway - it was like something out of a horror movie. Also once again, another hotel without bathroom doors. I only stayed here because the Westin next door was sold out for a conference. However, I did interact with the Westin staff there and it was a much better experience. I suspect all of the experienced staff are assigned to the Westin instead.
