We enjoy being close to family. The staff is awesome, from front desk to housekeeping. Breakfast is standard free breakfast. Hotel has bumps and scrapes, you can hear some noises from room above and next door, but it didn’t disturb us. Location is great for San Bruno family. This was our 4th stay.

The hotel room and property was clean and close to the airport. The continental breakfast is rather limited. The biggest issue we had was that we were expecting to get on board the airport shuttle on our morning of departure, but was told there was no room on the shuttle for us. No one at the hotel mentioned that we had to sign up for the shuttle at least the day before. Plus, the shuttle only runs every hour, so to catch our flight, we couldn't risk waiting an hour just to hope there would be room on the next shuttle. This seemed like a very disappointing failure of the hotel as one would expect to be able to take the advertised airport shuttle without so much hassle.
