Hotel within 30 minutes of SFO with an ocean or bay view?
 

We are going to california for 10 days and landing in SFO and like to stay around california

we are looking for a seaview hotel (100 - 120 usd per night) max 30 min away from SFO

can you please advise something nice and not too far away from the city?

thanks a lot

If a big blue expanse of water out the window is what you want, why not stay in the airport hotel strip next to SFO in Burlingame. There are many nice hotels on Bayshore Dr and Airport that you can get for around $100. I've stayed at the Hilton, the Hyatt Regency and (my favorite) the Embassy Suites for that kind of money in July. You even get a view of a bridge, but not THAT bridge. (its the San Mateo bridge).

Just ask for a Bay view or you might get the back side, which overlooks the 101 freeway. If you have a car it will cost you another $20 or so to park it in the lot.

IIRC there is a holiday inn express in pacifica right on the beach that should be in $120-150/nt range.

Assuming non-rush hour, any of the Fisherman's Wharf area hotels would do just fine, giving you a nice view of the bay, and even the Golden Gate bridge.

The Hilton on the embarcadero in San Francisco has bay views and is right next to the BART (train) station. It is also very convenient to go anywhere in the city.
