My stay was excellent. The room was comfortable and spacious. Quiet. Ample hot water, which arrived quickly. The person at the front desk was friendly and got me checked in expeditiously. The next time I need to stay at the San Francisco airport, I will definitely stay at the Gateway!

Clean and quiet. I slept well. There are great restaurants and bakeries within a block of the hotel. The ECR bus a block away is only 4 stops from the Bart red and yellow lines--super convenient for getting to the airport or getting into the city. The towels were very clean and smelled fresh as did the bedding. I appreciate no pets/no smoking because of sinus issues.

The room was spacious and clean. There were restaurants nearby and the hotel is very close to the airport. I didn’t have any issues with noise. They have covered parking, but there aren’t very many spaces, so I was glad I arrived earlier in the evening to secure a spot. I was able to walk to dinner easily.
