A fantastic hotel that meets every expectation, conveniently located near San Francisco Airport.
Pros:

Wonderful and attentive staff. Free shuttle service to San Francisco Airport.
The hotel is a 10-minute ride from the airport; the drivers are attentive, and the service is always punctual.
It is far from downtown SF, but in my case—as I was attending a convention in the Bay Area—it was fantastic. The restaurant next to the hotel is also very good, featuring a varied menu and reasonable prices; hotel guests receive a 10% discount. The hotel offers freshly baked cookies every afternoon. It also features an outdoor pool, though I didn't have time to use it. Varied and tasty breakfast.

Cons:

There is absolutely nothing to complain about—only praise. The soundproofing in the rooms could be improved, however; since the airport is nearby, you can hear the sound of aircraft engines during takeoff.

Bardzo dobre miejsce nieopodal lotniska.
Pros:

Przyjemne miejsce nieopodal lotniska. Miałem pokój zwidokiem na zatokę i drogę startową. Bardzo miła obsługa. Śniadanie jak na amerykańskie standardy dośc dobre. W lobby dostępny automat z "kawą" i wodą. Koło recepcji automaty z przekąsakmi i napojami - woda 0,5l PET - 5USD. Nienaganna czystość. Parking duży ale płatny 30 USD/dobę. Ogólnie oceniam bardzo pozytywnie.

Pros:

Verkehrsgünstige Lage, Geschäfte und Restaurants in Burlingame in Fußreichweite, zuverlässsiger Flughafenshuttle, freundliche Mitarbeiter

Cons:

Das Hotel ist in Bezug auf die Einrichtung schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen.
leider schloss das Fenster, Richtung Flughafen, nicht ganz dicht. Der Flugbetrieb war deutlich zu hören.

This was a great overnight hotel.
Pros:

the room was clean - all the staff was great. The breakfast choices were very nice. The parking was good. It was easily located and it was really nice that the desk is a 24 hour desk. I was also told that Bookings gave me the best price.

Cons:

I did not realize that there was a fee to park at the hotel. I did not notice it on the bookings website, I must have missed it. Also the WiFi did not work well in my room. I ended up using my own hot spot instead - not what I had planned.

Pros:

We had our flight to Baltimore cancelled after a long flight from Tokyo, and were placed on a red eye that night. We were sleep deprived and in need of a shower, so we booked the hotel for a much needed nap and shower. We were unsure if our evening flight would takeoff due to the snow storms on the East Coast, so we wanted a backup in case we had to spend the night. The free shuttle was a bonus, as was the nearby restaurant. The staff could not have been nicer and more understanding!
