    Mold & rust
    Jon M.

    CHECKIN & SERVICE The early/daytime staff is much more pleasant to interact with than the late/evening. Early checkin is possible for an additional fee but not guaranteed to be available. Uncovered self service parking is offered for free. Housekeeping performed by request. Late checkout offered (1hr). Checkin on Yelp for a free water! ROOMS (Suite) Contemporary design with high quality furnishings-- not your typical hotel stock! Incredibly comfortable couches, great workspace + ergonomic chair, functional windows, hardwood floors, a fireplace, and a flood of natural light. Very spacious for 2 with a homey feel. Great cleaning standards. (guestroom) not as glamorous of course & is cramped for 2, but cleaning standards are good in the common area (warning: not so much in the bathroom). BED Firm king mattress sleeps great in both configurations offered. The bedding was consistently clean, soft, and cozy. BATH (Suite) Beautiful stone covering the entire bathroom, electronic vanity mirror, ceiling rainfall shower, & strong water pressure! Well maintained & thoroughly cleaned. 3-piece showering set provided. (Guest room) Cleaning standards were VERY inconsistent, misleading, & generally under par compared to our experience in the suite. Lots of rust & mold in the bathroom, with clean towels making direct contact with black mold. Do a thorough check of your shower before settling in! TV & ENTERTAINMENT Good entertainment accoutrements. 1-2 large flat screen LG TV s with satellite on fixed wall mounts. WI-Fi The WiFi offering is generally really strong, but the experience isn't consistent in the guest rooms (weak coverage, frequent disconnects, etc). The corner rooms were also a (Verizon) dead zone. Nerd Stats: 111-123 Mbps download 45-84 Mbps upload 0% packet loss 25 ms latency 22 ms latency Performance: Video streaming - GREAT Online gaming - GREAT Video chatting - good FOOD & DRINK Not DoorDash friendly after the apps recent update (forced to walk to lobby for food pickups). Breakfast is offered & rooms are equipped with microwave & small mini fridges. NOISE Through traffic & noise from the neighborhood(s) from the hotel can be quite loud. Walls aren't thin enough to make out full conversations, but noisy neighbors can be a problem. VERDICT I wanted to rant & rave about this location after my first stay but a second one proved lots of duality here & a really inconsistent experience (I was hoping this would become my go-to hotel for flights out of SFO). The suites are great but the guest rooms are painful for reasons other than size. Customer service, cleaning standards, & WiFi infrastructure have large room for improvement. I won't be returning but it's not a pad stay if the inconsistencies don't bother you 2-3.5/5 Suite walkthrough: https://youtube.com/shorts/V3bsc4m1n08?feature=shared

    There's Mold!!, Mildew smell in the bathroom water tank in 2 rooms that I went with family. The Stench of the MOLD was SO GROSS!!! Who can sleep with that smell? Don't waste your money! Stay at the Westin instead, it does not smell like MOLD and Sewer!

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.

I also find their check in reception lobby most unwelcoming and unappealing. Always a shock when you get off the AirTrain and there is no one at the desk at bottom of the escalator.

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 and fall hazards everywhere if you are of a certain age. Unfortunately on this most recent visit, there was still two long hairs in my shower on the wall. They no longer do daily room cleaning unless you ask. But cleaning is hard work and every hotel chain is cutting back on labor and using eco-friendly as an excuse. Not just Fairfield Inn. There is at least one room on the gound floor (north end of the building) I have stayed in previously that is right above some kind of machinery that makes loud bumping and banging noise that kept me up all night. But still, I would stay here again. It's not cheap but it's a good operating base to visit with friends and family in the area, or if you have business to conduct nearby.

This place is Central to everything, to the airport as well as other stores nearby and gas stations. I wish we had stayed here sooner than the previous hotel that we were at.

Not anymore and apparently they are busy enough that they genuinely DON'T CARE about their customers and the safety and illegal activities they recommend to guests. Tonight I came off a full day of work on the road and a 7+ hour long flight back into SFO and I arrived after midnight and the drive to my home in Sonoma county is typically 2.5-3 hrs on windy roads with no lights and lots of sharp turns. I opted to book a room a month ago for the night and days leading up to it they kept texting me to convince me to upgrade my room and pay more - which I ignored. Well arriving past midnight on a Friday night meant NO PARKING SPOTS available at a hotel that advertises and promotes their free and accessible parking as a feature and selling point. They even have long term parking that they sell and that lot is always open w free spots !? So I pull in after not being able to find any parking in their small parking lot and no street parking around their hotel and when I ask where I can park I'm told "customers happily park on the street" even through the signs clearly say 4 hrs parking maximum and they can ticket and tow. After attempts to reason with an unreasonable and incredibly unhelpful desk clerk to get access for the night a spot in their open long term lot - and being repeatedly and illogically turned down repeatedly by the night clerk who simply was reading a pathetic script that always resulted in NO HELPFUL or LOGICAL RESOLUTION to no place to legally put my car for the night - I ask what my options are and there are none. No place to park my car and when I asked about cancelling my reservation I'm told they have a 24 hr cancellation policy and having no legal place to park my car isn't their problem. Interesting. They have already charged my credit card for $175 and I'm told that I'm basically shit out of luck. I'm even told I will be removed if I raise my voice and continue to point out that I'm actually being given NO VIABLE, SAFE and LEGALLY defendable options. So I call my credit card company while sitting there and contest the charges and have no choice but to drive off at 12:30 AM looking at a 3+ hour dangerous drive sleep deprived and in the pitch black of night to my home in Sonoma county. Thanks Dylan Hotel ! Appreciate the swell customer service ! Would I recommend staying at this shitty motor lodge near the airport moving forward. NOT A CHANCE and their management should be ashamed of themselves. Never again. Be warned of the bait and switch regarding their policies and the likelihood of being sent to illegally park on the streets with no recourse. Nope. Bye bye Dylan Hotel. Never again. You lost a long standing customer and a former fan. Pathetic

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.
