Aloft San Francisco Airport

It’s a hotel good for layover. Is just 5 mins from Airport. Checked in is pretty fast. Hotel provides free shuttle service to airport. In terms of getting food near hotel. It is not very convenient. Can walk about 10 - 15 mins to nearest eating place. Is ok if it’s good weather, on a rainy day, then 10 mins felt like a long time. There are fast food burger place, a Chinese fast food place and a bakery. If want more options may need to walk another 15 mins. Hotel lobby has a machine that sells hot food.  Room is big, have coffee machine and a bottle of mineral water provided. If for light sleeper, can hear planes preparing to take off. The runway is literally across the road. Airport shuttles leave 4 times a day. Only takes 5-10 mins to reach airport terminal. Overall the hotel is ok.

Hotel just OK. I was there for overnight stopover. The "grab and go" breakfast was very poor and expensive. The bar staff didn't know what a pina colada was and couldn't make any cocktails! All drinks were crazy expensive and the bar staff were not friendly. No other food available unless you wanted hot noodles from a vending machine. The best bit was the hotel shuttle was picking up and dropping off from the airport every 15 minutes

convenient location near airport, room was clean, check in was efficient, bed was comfy. The breakfast situation was interesting unlike anything I had ever seen before. Reception gives you breakfast vouchers which are equivalent to dollar amounts that you spend in the shop. There is a table and a fridge in the lobby of snacks with prices that you use your vouchers for. There is also a staff member in the window that makes some cooked options you can use your vouchers on. There were a number of people waiting in the lobby on food before their shuttle to the airport. Nothing major wait time wise just not a walk up super fast buffet.
