Top University South Hotel Reviews

Good Nite Inn - Redwood City

8/10 Good

"Room was clean but basic. No microwave. Very little coffee. But met our basic needs for one night. Next door to iHop."

The Dylan at SFO

10/10 Excellent

"This is our go-to place to stay when we are visiting family and friends in the Bay. Very quaint and charming place with free coffee and tea all day, a quiet dining area to chill, and clean rooms. Staff is friendly as well. Very near the airport - about 5-7 minutes away. Walking distance from the BART station and also a few restaurants. Go to Ipoh Malaysian resto nearby - so delicious!"

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Francisco Airport Waterfront

8/10 Good

"We had a great time staying here. The location was convenient and beautiful. It was close to the airport and had the view of the water. You can see the airplanes flying in and out from afar. It was great place to get your morning run outside, there is a trail along the water. The room was nice, we had two beds and and a sofa bed with a view of the water. The beds inside the room was full size. There is a table to eat on but only had two chairs. The bathroom was small and had no lock. The free breakfast was very good. You had the option to get a freshly made to order omelet. They had a lot of options to choose from. But be sure to get there early because when it is busy, a line forms and the dining room gets packed. There were a few issues when we stayed there. At night we called for more linens and pillows but did not received our request. They have nine floors, we stayed on the third floor. Conveniently there was a washer and dryer on our floor, but it was only one of each available. You are lucky to catch it when it is available to use. I checked the second and the fourth floor and I only saw an ice machine. The place is big, so I could be wrong, there might be more washing machines. Overall, I enjoyed staying there. I would recommend it."

Grand Bay Hotel San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was perfect for our Bay Area trip; centrally located between SF and SJ. The property is in a business district so it was not very busy on the weekend. The staff was welcoming and efficient. The room was very nice and clean. I loved the pillow-top mattress, but my hubby said it was too soft for him. The bathroom was a little outdated, but effective. Water pressure? Meh. The fridge was useful, and there was a microwave downstairs in the lobby. We would definitely stay here again."
